Will Serena Williams win a 24th (or more) major in 2020? My guess is yes as I think she seems to be dialed in during this offseason. The talent pool she is facing is deep and comparatively younger so 2020 represents her best chance at 24 and beyond, but 4 runner-up finishes over the past two…

US Open 2019: September 1st Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (Noon start) [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [15] David Goffin (BEL) – This could be a long match. I think the 3 of 5 set format helps Federer.

Wimbledon 2019: Semifinal Predictions
Novak Djokovic vs. Roberto Bautista Agut Djokovic is probably at his deadliest on slow hard courts.
