ESPN is already making predictions for the Grand Slam outcomes in the upcoming season, even though there are still four months until the Australian Open begins. However, given the uncertainties surrounding the potential participation of key players like Rafael Nadal and Naomi Osaka, it could be considered somewhat premature to confidently predict the champions of the following Tour season at this stage.

Many people have doubts about predictions like Novak Djokovic winning just one title or Ben Shelton winning the US Open in 2024. ESPN has clarified that they intentionally avoided repeating names in their predictions to make the upcoming season more exciting to watch. While players like Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz could win multiple Grand Slams, ESPN’s decision adds an element of surprise and anticipation to the upcoming season.

The prospect of winners in upcoming tournaments is thrilling, but the authenticity of these predictions is in question. With Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff’s recent success at the last Grand Slam, it’ll be interesting to see how other players react when the new season starts with the Australian Open in January.



It’s hard to envision Novak Djokovic not winning the Australian Open, a tournament he’s dominated for years. Likewise, Ben Shelton winning the US Open next year seems unlikely, especially considering his recent straight-set semi-final loss to Djokovic.
