The Olympics are almost upon us. Okay. We are a month away, but still. So we know Federer loves the olympics the most as he needs to find a way to salvage his poor season. But here are my favorites for the Olympics.
1. Novak Djokovic: call me crazy but somehow I think winning a gold medal for Serbia is a bigger deal to Djokovic than it is to a Federer who doesn’t even go to Davis Cup matches that often.
2. Rafael Nadal: the best player in the world will be in the final if he’s lucky, and he has Federer’s number. He could bring a silver for Spain.
3. Roger Federer: Federer will probably win a bronze at best. He did not perform well in the last Olympics when he was peaking. Now that he is “unpeaking” and he has lots of young guns going for the gold. He will have yet another disappointing result.
Dark Horses: James Blake, Murray, and Davydenko.
