2011 ATP predictions

Australian Open – Rafael Nadal

Melbourne was where Nadal proved he could win majors on hard courts as well as on clay and grass, claiming the Aussie title in 2009 and the world number one will certainly be the man to beat this time around. Roger Federer was at his peerless best last year and another classic final between the old rivals could be on the cards.

French Open - Rafael Nadal

It is virtually impossible to place a tennis online bet against Nadal at Roland Garros, notwithstanding his injury-induced shock defeat by Robin Soderling in 2009. The Swede proved that was no fluke by ousting Federer on the way to the final again this year, but it would be a major shock if anyone got near the king of clay next time around.

Wimbledon – Roger Federer

This could be Federer’s last hurrah at SW19. He was not himself in losing to Tomas Berdych in the last right this year and he will be keen to prove that was an aberration. Only Federer can trouble Nadal on grass and this is his best chance to prevent a Rafa clean sweep in the majors.

US Open – Rafael Nadal

Nadal completed the career Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows this year and was as dominant as he has ever been anywhere. His rivals had no answer to his power and variations, which proved he can be the very best on every surface.

Davis Cup – France

A lot of atp tour tennis betting pundits agree that the French have great strength in depth, with a wealth of top-50 talent led by Gael Monfils. Michael Llodra is a talented doubles player and the French team will be as hard to beat as they were in reaching the 2009 final.
