OK, we're coming up to the start of the 2018 ATP and WTA tours, so time to get your predictions in for the year end rankings, specifically the top four in each contest, in order..
Let's have a slight adjustment to the scoring system I proposed last year, to accentuate the positive, by doubling the positive points as follows, in the hope that the final scores might bear less resemblance to those arising on the QI panel show:
Cumulatively, in each of the ATP and WTA predictions:
- 10 plus points for getting the top 1 right
- 10 plus points for your 1 and 2 being a perm of the actual 1 and 2
- 10 plus points for your 1, 2 and 3 being a perm of the actual
- 10 plus points for your 4 being a perm of the actual
- 1 negative point for every degree of difference in actual and predicted position for each of your top 4 named players.
My meta-prediction is that, if as many people contribute to this thread as did for 2016 and 2017, we'll see more diversity than previously in people's ATP picks.
Anyway, my predictions are:
ATP
1. A Zverev
2. Murray
3. Dimitrov
4. Djokovic
WTA
1. S Williams
2. Wozniacki
3. Muguruza
4. Barty
