I'm surprised that none of them(except Cazaux) predicted that Sinner would have a shot to be year end no 1.Obvious to anyone who has watched a couple of tour games or in my case not even watched many games towards the year end.About time for him.I'll watch today's game.The only other AO game I watched was the second set of Sinner's game against Nole.His hitting was mighty impressive there.
Nice little hint from Belton before he did his press conference. Using the 2024 season to focus more on valuable training blocks & the North American hard courts rather than bouncing around Europe playing an endless stream of events. Smart strategy. So many high level tennis professionals speak highly of him.

@@Belec1996 You certainly tried it. I said what I said. It's a smart strategy. Europe & South America emphasize clay court tournaments & the grass season is way too short. Shelton is focusing on hard courts & there are plenty of those in North America. USA has its own Slam & 2 Masters, plus plenty of 500 & 250 events. Canada Masters isn't far way, either.

My predictions for 2024: Breakout star will be Jakub Mensik. The best comeback will be Milos Raonic. Year end number 1 will be Sinner. The feel good story will be Rafa at Roland Garros.
Today is January 28-- the day of the Australian Open Finals. Go to 3:11. ARTHUR CAZAUX NAILS IT. Yikes. A little scary. (Wait. He did this right before the AO semis-- not so impressive after all. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.)
My predictions for the 8 players chosen to play in the 2024 Next Gen Tournament… 1.) Arthur Fils 2.) Arthur Cazaux 3.) Dino Prizmic 4.) Jakub Mensik 5.) Juncheng Shang 6.) Alex Michelson 7.) Luca Van Assche 8.) ??? Thoughts? Who am I missing with the last slot?
2024 Predictions.... these are my and mum's guesses [yep we got AO wrong]: Personal Note: my guesses (mum's guesses) First Masters 1000 - Ruud (Tiafoe) Most 1000s Alcaraz (Medvedev) First Title - Jiri Lehecka (Zhang Zhizhen) Most Grand Slams - Alcaraz / Novak (Novak) Each Slam - Aus Open - Novak (Medvedev); French Open - Rafa (Alcaraz); Wimbledon - Novak (Novak); US Open - Alcaraz (Medvedev) Breakout season - Shelton (Baez) ATP top ten - baez (Tommy Paul) comeback - Wawrinka (Rafa) Year End No.1 - Novak (Medvedev)
Tennis fans are so immature. After all the nonsense drama between the big 3 even though they are all friendly, now there's this manufactured personal rivalry between Shelton vs Djokovic
The Big 3 are not friendly. Federer and Nadal were not friends until Nadal could no longer beat Federer off clay (Federer could never beat Nadal on clay) and look at the toxic rubbish Nadal has been saying about Djokovic in the last few months...
@@huzcer if we are talking about the same interview, Nadal said Djokovic is the GOAT due to slam numbers and after that it's up to fans preference. What is "toxic" about that? Also all 3 have called each other their greatest rivals and are still friendly. Federer and Nadal are closer since they came up in Tennis at the same time but there is genuine respect amongst them all.
@@ANGELOFDARKification Nadal signing up with the murderous Saudis. Now that is seriously embarrassing. What a sellout. Selling off his already damaged reputation to completely put it in the bin.
true predictions : Draper having a breakthrough Fils winning a 500 ATP in Hamburg Sinner becoming number 1 Mensik back in the top 70 (Michelsen almost winning a title in Winston-Salem)
If I remember correctly it was Djokovic mocking Shelton by copying his phone celebration. I thought that was funny and didn't make too much of it. Just playfulness. Now this is hyped up to some kind of personal vendetta, even from Shelton's side? Well, whatever gets you going I guess.
Novak has since said it was personal and an intentional display of disrespect toward Shelton from Novak (because he felt Shelton was disrespectful too). Since the incident, Ben has tried to let it go, whereas Novak and his fans have kept at it.
Felix Auger wouldn’t be top 3 if he had machine racquet in his hands. Guy is so out of top 10 it is another level from his mental state through whole season
Kind of funny that everyone just assumes Shelton hates Djokovic when he’s never said anything bad about him and didn’t even care about the ‘phone-gate’, whereas Djokovic is the one who clearly hates Shelton enough to mimic his celebration
Djokovic doesn't "hate" Shelton, he is trying to tell him to grow up. Having a "celebration" meme when you haven't won anything is the height of immaturity. Running around after a 30-15 point in the 1st set is just juvenile. Grow up Ben and be a pro!
@@110Tiburon Djokovic has a ‘celebration’ to the crowd he does after he wins. Who says you have to earn that lol. Biggest piece of junk I’ve heard.

well Cazaux already reached his goal and we're not even a month into 2024 yet 🤣
He's played Rune before as juniors & beaten him, so he was well aware of the game & antics.
Can we talk about how humble and nice cazaux is? Only wish him the best!
i was looking for this comment!! i really loved all his answers!!
Arthur predicted the finalists of the AO!!!

The fact that cazaux is in this video itself is surprising me ! was it taken after his run in AO?
No
That was quite bold prediction from the ATP itself. 😁
No, Shelton says Dimitrov won a title last week so it was shot right before AO
I could listen to the French speak broken english all day. So fire.
FAA saying he will reach top 3 and denis top 10 are not bold predictions, are impossible predictions that will never happen
Wow, stone cold Francesco. Stone cold 🥶
I agree for Shapo but not for Felix he will get back into shape when is knee are healed I still optimist for the future
You shouldn't rush to use the word "impossible." Not just for this but in general.
i’ll be happy to come back here when felix is top 3 !
Its bold to say top 10 for this guy
Someone mentioned Dimitrov love it!
Nick Kyrgios coming back would be great
You never see him ever again in a pro tournament never
My predictions for 2024: Breakout star will be Jakub Mensik.
The best comeback will be Milos Raonic.
Year end number 1 will be Sinner.
The feel good story will be Rafa at Roland Garros.

Impressive prediction. As an italian myself, I would have not bet on Sinner ... now it feels like it could really happen, him being n.1 !
It’s cool how many of them mentioned each other in this video. Cazaux seems like a cool guy, great run for him at the AO
Year-end number one.. I was curioius if Shelton would mention Djoko and he says Eubanks haha
thats his boy!
🤣
Hope the person who said something about goffin is also right. ❤️❤️ at the match from yesterday seeing maybe he is gonna be right about that.!!!

2024 Predictions....

First Masters 1000 - Ruud (Tiafoe)
Most 1000s Alcaraz (Medvedev)
First Title - Jiri Lehecka (Zhang Zhizhen)
Most Grand Slams - Alcaraz / Novak (Novak)
Each Slam - Aus Open - Novak (Medvedev); French Open - Rafa (Alcaraz); Wimbledon - Novak (Novak); US Open - Alcaraz (Medvedev)
Breakout season - Shelton (Baez)
ATP top ten - baez (Tommy Paul)

I’m back after mensik is in the final of doha
Eubanks speaks as he plays...very smooth and natural.
i hope they're right about novak still number one
I hope they're not
Gutted for Raonic. Instead of a comeback this could be it.
true predictions :
Draper having a breakthrough
Fils winning a 500 ATP in Hamburg
Sinner becoming number 1
Mensik back in the top 70
(Michelsen almost winning a title in Winston-Salem)
Before playing this video I am going to guess that Ben Shelton will pick Sinner or Zverev because he hates Djokovic
Chris eubanks😂
he doesn’t hate djokovic
more like djoko and his fans hate Shelton since they bring him up all the time!
If I remember correctly it was Djokovic mocking Shelton by copying his phone celebration. I thought that was funny and didn't make too much of it. Just playfulness. Now this is hyped up to some kind of personal vendetta, even from Shelton's side? Well, whatever gets you going I guess.
