Weeks 3 & 4 - Australian Open - main draw - Melbourne, VIC, Australia (hard)

Tien is certainly on a roll - won the Metz ATP 250 event (over Cam) in Nov, rolled on to Next Gen Finals win in Saudi in December; was in the China Open final losing to Sinner in late September.

He is up to LR 24, my reckoning is top 20 soon (for sure, end of Miami latest) and then top 10 by year end. Genuinely talented player, perhaps the best of the American players that have bulked up the 10-50 range of the ranking but not pushed on to winning slams yet - Shelton may, but I dont think so; Fritz won't. Paul won't. Tien has a genuine chance of making that breakthrough at some point.

Jovic - great to see her coming through and particularly having seen her and spotted her as an interesting talent at Ilkley last summer when I went with my daughter. Really keen to see how she develops and from others say, it feels like she will be top 20 player as well and maybe top 10?

Stay fit and well, and I would be pretty amazed if Jovic didn't reach the top 10 ( top 20 surely a given ), with the question really how high and what will she win.

I've had my eye off the ball with regards Tien. Certainly looks like I need to get on board.

 

Edit: Ha, I just went and checked live rankings and she is now live ranked 20 with no-one that can overtake her before the post Aus Open rankings, so it is literally already a given.

(How did Ms Jovic get into a men's slam thread?)

Apparently the first time in Open Tennis history that the top six seeds in both Mens and Womens Singles have reached the quarter finals of a Grand Slam!
