Many Candidates....

1st of all i know i spelt Lalos name wrong. (Apologies)

2006- Marcos Baghdatis

2007- F.Gonzo

2008-????????????????????????

Left out the obvious ones like Murray, Birdman, Misha, Bandy so on on...

My list includes players who i personally feel can do it but just lack that something, could be belief, concentration, stamina.

But from nowhere they could conjur up something.

Who could possibly rule out a fully fit X-man?

Everyone on this board knows Dima Is Capable

Monfils has the weapons.

PHM going from strength to strength.

Impressive Grand slam performances from Nando 2007, can he go that one step further?

F.Lopez, one of the most creative, spectacular, magical players i have ever seen.

Wawa, becoming irritably consistent.

Potro has the game.

Kiefer back to full health and playing well. Experienced Campaigner.

Mario Ancic-included because of barron season, would be a suprise to me if he made the final or s/f, definetly can do it though.

U mean 2008:
Murray could go deep, even final is possible

Fed and Dave are the fabourites

Most likely to be a surprise performer..? Now there´s a controversy. Anyway, my vote goes to Kiefer, I think he´ll have a good season, if he can stay healthy.

I'm going with Monfils. His win over Baghdatis last year generated a lot of excitement.... for a couple of days, so I can imagine it.

I don't see why Youzhny would be an obvious one, surely that wouldn't be any less surprising than Gonzalez's run last year. Then again it was more Gonzalez's performances rather than his wins that were so impressive (so that would be hard for Youzhny to replicate).

 

[RonE]

Oscar Hernandez.

 

[Ivo#1Fan]

Oscar Hernandez.

Isn't he saving his energy for the grass season and Wimbledon?

 

[Jimnik]

Young, Isner and Karlovic should be there instead of Malisse, Lopez and Verdasco.

 

[The Pro]

Hmm, no one really stands out over anyone else in that group.

 

[Monteque]

Young, Isner and Karlovic should be there instead of Malisse, Lopez and Verdasco.

Lopez and Verdasco have no chance due to AO court is faster than before now.

 

[CmonAussie]

...
>>> none on your list!!

probably Andy Murray to make SFs!

 

[Tommy fan]

Kiefer and Ancic.

 

[Jimnik]

Lopez and Verdasco have no chance due to AO court is faster than before now.

That's not the reason. They're both chokers and it would take more than good form to make any big impact at a slam.

 

[tennizen]

If there has to be a surprise, I would say Ancic or Murray

 

[Tommy fan]

Murray going far is not a surprise

 

[Monteque]

Ljubicic!!!
He's always good at the beginning of the season.

 

[krystlel]

Ljubicic!!!
He's always good at the beginning of the season.

Yeah, at Doha and Chennai.

 

[ReturnWinner]

Ljubicic!!!
He's always good at the beginning of the season.

the creator of this thread is talking about the grand slam not about Adelaide nor Sidney

 

[Iván]

Where are Nalbandian, Ferrer, Murray, etc.

These players reaching the Semi or Final would not suprise me or probs anyone else on this board.... :timebomb: :timebomb: :scratch: :scratch:

 

[Tommy fan]

Strange pool :retard:
Where are Nalbandian, Ferrer, Murray, etc.

From your list I would pick Wawrinka and PHM of course

Because if one of the names you mentioned would reach to the high stages there, that wouldn't be a surprise.

Who mentioned about Adelaide or Sidney
I give my words to him has bigger chance than 2007 to go deeper for AO.
