My Outlook on Some Mens Player's "Fortunes" for 2012.

Lets take a look at some of the top players and not so top players on the mens side and try to break down how their 2012 will shape up.

Novak Djokovic:  Guy is an absolute stud, and the Australian Open proved that he now has both the physical and mental stamina to dominate on all surfaces.  He'll win 1-2 more Grand Slams this season.

Rafael Nadal:  A grinder and a fighter, but he seems to be breaking down.  He doesn't have the serve to win easy points, and has to depend on his mobility to win long drawn out points.  He'll be the favorite at Roland Garros, but will come up short at all the other Slams.  He'll also continue to whine about the ATP schedule and drug testing the rest of the year.  Uncle Toni will also continue to think of the best means of getting away with "on-court coaching", and also finding the best steroids "masking agents" money can buy.

Roger Federer:  He basically needs the luck of the draw to make it to a Grand Slam final, and then win it.  No way can he beat 2 of the Top 4 in a slam anymore.  He need to hope for early upsets and weasle his way to a final and a win.  Skills are starting to diminish a little, but still is elite enough to beat anyone anywhere no any given day.  The consistency just isn't there anymore.

Andy Murray:  Besides Djokovic, Murray was the 2nd biggest winner in Melbourne.  He came away from his semifinal loss with a renewed confidence in himself and that he belongs with the best in the world.  New coach Ivan Lendl has really improved Murray's mental strength which reinforced Murray's belief in his own game.  Murray will break out with his first Grand Slam win this year.  Probably at the U.S. Open, still a little too much pressure on Murray for him to win Wimbledon.

David Ferrer:  A little grinder, who never gives up on a point in any match, whether he's playing a qualifier in the 1st round of a 250 event, or playing a top ranked player in a Grand Slam.  One of the most fun to watch players on the tour, who will show bursts of energy and anger.  Ferrer isn't against smashing a racket or two.  His game just isn't at the level as the previous aforementioned.  He'll hang in the 5-12 range as far as rankings go.

Juan Martin Del Potro:  I still don't think he's fully healed from his wrist injury yet.  It may be more mental than actually physical.  This is the year many people believed Del Po would get back to his U.S. Open winning form, but I just don't see it.  He isn't fully ready to take the next step yet.  He will be good, but he won't be pushing for a spot in the "Big 4" this year.

Andy Roddick:  Washed-up.  Stick a fork in this guy.
Milos Raonic:  Overrated.  North America's answer to Ivo Karlovic.
John Isner:  Still whining about playing so long at 2010 Wimbledon.  Crap for fitness.
Fernando Verdasco:  (See Andy Roddick)  but add in "Pretty boy" instead of "guy".
Janko Tipsarevic:  Meteoric rise to #9 in world.  Will retire from 80% of his matches.  He's a tool.
Tomas Berdych: Has the game to compete with the best, but is a choker and shades of a whiner.
Mardy Fish:  Poor man's Andy Roddick.  Had a lucky year last year.  He'll go back to being a scrub.
Richard Gasquet:  Needs to quit doing blow off stripper's asses.  Great backhand.  Mental midget.
Gael Monfils:  Least intelligent player in the game.  But also extremely athletically gifted.
Sam Querrey:  This guy still plays tennis?
Robin Soderling:  Needs to dump his girlfriend and go back to being a bad ass.  His game has suffered.
