Next year’s WTA season will no doubt be one of the most interesting in a long time. Venus and Serena will be back, supposedly eager to once again prove that their dominance over women’s tennis will extend for as long as they will it to be, regardless of what ranking they receive. Justine Henin will try to prove that she is truly back and still the Queen of clay, while Caroline Wozniacki and Vera Zvonareva will try to hold off these women with sticks to defend their rankings and be the newest crop of slam winners.

But it’s clear that at the majors at least, they won’t succeed. Serena can come at any major, except the French, and huff and puff her way to victory. Venus is still a threat at Wimbledon, and as her recent showing at the US Open showed, a fast hard court. Henin was the Queen of Roland Garros and she will be keen to battle out that mantle with this year’s finalist Sam Stosur as Queen of this decade.

I don’t see Vera or Caroline in this picture. I can see them making Grand Slam quarters and semis, even the finals, and winning a few tourneys along the way, but I don’t expect them to be major winners just yet.

 

Australian Open Predictions

This slam is Serena’s to win or lose, but judging by her long time off the tennis court, I don’t think she will defend her title.

Pick to win: Clijsters




French Open Predictions

Depending on the draw, I fully expect Sam Stosur and Justine Henin in the finals, facing off as the two best clay courters around.

Pick to win: Henin

 

Wimbledon Predictions

Depending on the draw, a Williams final. If not, I fully expect a Williams in the final.

Pick: Serena Williams

 

US Open Predictions

A rematch of that fateful semi in 2009 Clijsters vs. S. Williams at the final...
