John Isner: Is It Too Late for the American to Make a Top-10 Return in ’13?

If there was any indication that American John Isner could rest assured the worst of his recent injury problems were behind him, capturing his second title of the year would be a solid indicator.

Victoria Azarenka: Will She Be Able to Hold on to the No. 1 Ranking in 2013?

Serena Williams is coming. So is Maria Sharapova. Will world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka be able to hold off both of those challengers for the top spot on the WTA rankings in 2013?

Novak Djokovic: Can He Be Number 1 for Years to Come?

It wasn’t a repeat of 2011, a year in which he won 10 titles—three of them Grand Slams. But 2012 shouldn’t be considered a letdown for world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
