AO in question marks?

Next year is quite close and AO also coming. AO will give us many answers to question marks. Here are my some:

1) Will Morybundus play? - my idea is yes

2) Will Morybundus get into SF - rather not if he meet Berd or healthy Delpo

3) Will Fed be able to resist Nole/Murray/Morybundus fitness at BO5 - not with Nole, rather not with Murray and an opened result with Mory

4) Will somebody be able to get in SF from the second quarter (Feru, Delpo, Berd, Tsonga)? I see a good chance for Berd and Delpo to go through Fed or Mory. I do not believe much Feru and give a low chance for Tsonga

5) Will anybody from youngsters get in QF - Raonic, Janowicz or anybody else? - 20%

Of course the biggest ? is with Morybundus (as many times). First two rounds will give us a hint how the disease was serious

Special bet: I give 80% on Morybundus retirement when he will be playing a lost match or wait ... correction 90%

oooooooooooh, lots and lots of very tough questions here, Paul!

He who gets them all right can be considered a genius, still, I'll give it a try

1) this one is the toughest, I'll say - yes.
2) a lot will depend on the draw. Because I believe in draw rigging and a special status that Nadal will have upon his return, I'd say that his chances are about 65% IF he has a kind draw (no Rosol, JJ etc in early rounds, and he'll get Ferrer in his quarter)
3)Fed is not going to kill himself in AO, but I do expect him to get to SF
if he is to play Nadal there, he'll beat him, not sure about Murray, who if he makes it to the SF will be ultra-desperate to win AO and is already killing himself in Miami trying to be uber-fit for that purpose.
4)Berd will have an excellent chance, but also Delpo if he continues with his WTF form.
5)I would love to see JJ do well in AO, a lot will depend on the draw, and his fitness, I'd say if he makes it to the second week, that would be a great achievement for him, and a great platform for the rest of the season. Raonic, not convinced by him yet.
6)Morybundus could retire even in the first round if he finds himself 2 sets down.

Less than 4 weeks before we find out, can't wait

Yes Nitb, who will have right answers should be called the Genius of all tennis times and a special award OTF from Ten.

I also can not wait, my favourite SF matches are Nole with Fed and Murray with Mory... as always, I can see sparking already now

And who do you see in the final in this scenario?
Me: Nole Murray, Nole wins in 4.

You read my mind, Nitb, everything different is a kind of surprise
