Top 10 Men's US Open 2009 Tennis Contenders

10. Tommy Haas.  While Haas may be in the twilight of his career, he's very experienced and plays his heart out.  He's been playing great lately, making deep runs at Wimbledon and other majors, and giving top-ranked players an incredibly hard time when he loses.   Haas's prospects at winning a slam are doubtful, but look for him to make a solid run.

9.  Nikolay Davydenko.  While the Russian tennis player doesn't stand a chance to win, no one above this on the list really does either.  That's men's tennis for ya.

8.  Robyn Soderling.  Not sure why, but the guy's really playing some great tennis.  Late bloomer perhaps?  Regardless, his French Open run was indicative of some quality tennis he's been playing lately.

7.  Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.  The wild card.  If healthy, can go deep.  Remember the Aussie Open a couple years back?

6.  Novak Djokovic.  Emotional?  Yes...but incredibly talented.

5.  Juan Martin del Potro.  Had a magificent run on hard courts last season.  Look for him to be just as strong this year.

4.  Rafael Nadal.  Injuries are the huge question mark here.

3.  Andy Murray.  Last year's finalist is playing some great tennis.  As the #3 seed, has a chance to push past Nadal.

2.  Andy Roddick.  The home crowd behind him and some new momentum gives him an edge over Nadal.

1.  Roger Federer.  The king, and champion in each of the last 5 US Opens.  Enough said.

Anyway, these are my predictions for the tourney.  It should be a great one for sure!  Let's enjoy the hard court tennis season until then.
