Boy, there is so little love for Nole.

1. Novak finishes the year at #1, and wins the US Open

2. Ana wins the US, and shows that it just took a little longer to get it togethe after the hype machine got a little out of hand.

3. Jelena wins the French. And gives the champion's speech of a lifetime.

4. Kimmie comes back. Or stays away, if that is what makes her happy.

5. PEHK has an outer court match on the evening of the 1st Saturday of Indian Wells/. And cracks the Top 20.

6. Tatiana Golovin's health sufficiently improves that she can resume regular play on the Tour.

7. Amelie doesn't embarass herself, and tarnish her legacy.

8. Tipsy beats Federer in 5 at a Slam.

9. I get to see another Gilles Simon/JMDP match, because th last one I sat through was a beaut.

10. That Martini gets his wish

My wishes and without dreaming too much:

1) Roger wins at least one slam and gets back to #1

2) Ana wins a slam and becomes a consistent #1

3) Someone other than Rafa wins RG

4) Ernests reaches his first GS SF and top 10 as well

5) Caro get to at least one GS SF and qualifies for YEC

6) All women's GS finals go the distance

7) Andy M. has a better year than Nole

8) Jelena wins a GS

9) Economic downturn doesn't impact tennis too severely

10) I finally win a SP!!!

oh I forgot about Jelena! Yes, a slam for her too.

WOW!!!! This is a whole lotta love for Dokic!

15. Andy Murray heartbreaks in GS finals continue as he falls to Roger Federer in 5 close sets.

I knew I always liked you!

[MaickiP]

For my faves:
1 Petrova makes the semis of a slam
2 Davydenko makes a slam final
3 Kuznetsova wins a title
4 Federer wins either the AO or French (preferable) to tie the record, so the rest of the year is super exciting.
5 Kim comes back.

For my not so faves:
5 Djokovic falls to 5th in the rankings due to an injury that briefly threatens his career, then becomes a classy person.
6 Serena gets completely embarrassed in at least one slam.
7 Roddick falls out of the top ten.
8 Radwanska falls out of the top ten.

Completely wild but I'd laugh:
9 Sharapova wins the French (completely the career slam!)
10 Henin comes back to win Wimbledon
11 Donald Young wins anything
12 Robby Ginepri cracks the top ten and credits his book smarts.
