Also writing out my predictions for each individual tournament because the longer text can get a bit hard to read:

AO: All 4 make the SF, with Novak eventually defeating Med in the final in 4 sets 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5

IW: Med gets revenge on Novak and takes him down in a close 3 setter

Miami: Alcaraz and Sinner, after getting upset in the QF of IW, both make the final here with Alcaraz prevailing in a classic

Monte Carlo: The ultra slow conditions make it very weird for everyone and none of the 4 win, with Holger Rune eventually taking home the trophy

Madrid: These conditions are basically peak “Alcaraz” conditions and I expect him to dominate this tournament throughout the coming years, including a 6-1 6-1 demolition of Med in the SF

Rome: Med unsurprisingly can’t defend his title and we get the first Djokoraz final of the year, with Djokovic taking it 6-3 4-6 7-5

RG: Novak peaks too early this time and Carlos gets his revenge for Rome, beating him in a somewhat-competitive but still convincing 4 setter 6-2 6-3 4-6 7-5

Wimbledon: Defending champion Alcaraz is upset by Sinner in the SF, while Djokovic plays Hurkacz in the SF after Hurkacz served his way past Med. The relative lack of energy Novak had to expend playing a serve dominated match combined with Sinner’s nerves in his first Slam final make the final end in Novak’s favor 6-4 7-6(5) 6-3

Olympics: Novak still can’t quite achieve his dream, but this time keeps his cool after losing the SF and grabs a medal while Alcaraz eventually goes on to win it all

Cincy: Djokovic skips this and Alcaraz has his occasional troubles on fast HC, leaving it to a Sinner vs. Med final where Sinner takes home his first big title of the year

USO: Novak gets upset by Shelton in the QF who hangs up the phone on him, only for Med to do the same to Ben in the SF when he defeats him much to the displeasure of the crowd. Despite the constant booing from a completely one-sided support, Med wins his first Slam in 3 years defeating Alcaraz in 5 sets 2-6 6-7 6-4 6-4 7-5

Shanghai: Med keeps his run of form going, defeating Sinner in a Cincy rematch for the title

Paris: As is tradition at this point, it’s Novak who comes out on top here, beating Tsitsipas 6-3 6-2 in a very one-sided final

ATP Finals: Alcaraz continues his struggles on fast and indoor HC, losing in the RR and handing Novak year end #1(just like this year.) Novak himself loses in the SF to Sinner, who goes on to defeat Med for his first ATP Finals title
