Any thoughts and comments?

To me, most obvious is absence of Delpo, dropout of  Ferrer&Murray and impressive jump by Nishikori.

A special mention of Swiss duo, they have done so well.

I don't think even rotla could've predicted Stan winning a slam & all that followed

A few of us here believed in Fed though, even after that awful 2013

Nole steadied the ship and kept ploughing. Impressive he is convincingly at number ine with the fewest tournaments played.

The best of Fed and him  is yet to come in 2015.

Nadal, as usual a "mystery"...amazing he kept a high 3rd position despite halving his last year's points.

 hehe he.. I was the only one who picked Stan to win the AO final in the prediction game.

He steadied it in the end but for me, he didn't reach the mark because he couldn't beat Nadal at RG despite being a set up. This was his chance he was waiting for, boosted by the Rome win against Nadal.  Playing fewer tournaments is actually easier to keep points and go further in the tournaments they chose to play. Thats why nothing even comes close to Fed's 05, 06

This year the the 10th ranker has 4000+ points compared to 3000+ in 2013. Not bad.
