Which of these British players is most likely to call it a day at the end of 2019 season?
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
A few weeks into the season and we must ask this question. Broady- could well call it a day at the end of the current season, flashes of brilliance now and then, but never really made on the challenger circruit Klien- Same as a above but even older Ward- probably a 150-250 ranked player at best these days,...

Boldest prediction in the history of this forum-James Ward will finish 2019 as British Number 2
(Preview)
This may seem very bold, but it is possible. Edmund is locked in for number 1 if he stays fit. But as for number 2, Norrie is looking like ATP 250/challenger player at peak level and will not get top 50. Evans, will never get back to top 50 and will also peak at about 70-100 at best for remainder of career. M...
