Seeing as there isn't much happening in the tennis world at the moment, lets reflect on some players who have seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. It isn't unusual for players to go through a trough, but what doesn't kill you only makes your book longer - so we can expecting some long books...
Juan Martin Del Potro comes to mind first, that tall, lanky and sort of good looking Argentine has been out for way too long. After winning the US Open last year in arguably one of the best finals of the modern age, he injured his wrist, had surgery and hasn't played this whole year. Sad. But 2011 is a new year, and hopefully we will see him again stronger than ever. He's good for the game.
Let's see who else? Oh ya, Jelena Jankovic. Every grand slam I say I think she's gonna win this one, and then gets knocked out in the third round. The Serbian with a fivehead really needs to shape up and win one already, this whole losing early in a slam is getting old now. The jokes over. But she really hasn't featured in any tournament for a while, getting serious. The other Serbian Ana Ivanovic seems to be doing better after her horrible form since winning the French Open.
The Serb got to the fourth round of the US Open before losing to eventual champion Kim Clijsters. But she's a good competitor and one of my favourite players so it would be nice to see her back with that great backhand down the line.
Marin Cilic... where are you???? The dude who looks like Louis Theroux has vanished from the tennis scene and needs to make an insane comeback, win the Australian and have everyone talking about him again... that's a perfect world.
The only reason I mention some of these players is because, lets me honest, the competition is lacking a bit, and these players have the potential to win Grand Slams and give the dominating players a run for their money. It just takes some confidence y'all.
