Predictions for 2024
1 Djokovic 2 Alcaraz 3 Sinner 4 Medvedev 5 Tsitsipas 6 Zverev 7 Rune 8 Rublev 9 Hurkacz 10 Shelton
What are your thoughts of next season? And what surprised you this season?
I think that number 1 next year will be determined by scheduling. While Djokovic might be the best player of the season, it’s likely that he is going to play few (9 or 10) point earning tournaments, given that he is older and also has Olympics to prepare for. Therefore my number one has to be Alcaraz, Sinner or Medvedev.
