Surprising/unexpected slam winners like Fran. You can't pick the hyped youngsters (Keys, Vekic, Robson etc) since many expect them to win slams in the future. Pick 5 players only (because I don't want to see someone picking the whole top 100).:lol:

Kanepi
Halep
Shvedova
Beck
Barthel

Just take a guess.

Lisicki (not grass)
Goerges
Kvitova
Kerber
Bouchard
Halep
Kerber
Muguruza (she is not that hyped compared to Donna, Laura etc.)
Petkovic
Pavly (please God make it happen!)
Caroline
Halep
Kerber
then one another random big hitter a-la Lisicki winning wimbledon (Barthel on top of the list)
Well done, guys.

Barthel and Halp
:tears:

Sharapova
Kanepi
Halep
Lisicki
Stephens
Shade at that time I guess :lol:
She won another RG since then.


None saw Flavia winning at all.

Do doubles count? :oh:

Just kidding.

Maria Kirilenko
Simona Halep
Kaia Kanepi
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Hsieh Su-Wei

:lol:

Would people really be that surprised if Kuznetsova nabbed another slam? I feel like she's due for a third one sometime in the next year.

-Suarez-Navarro
-Kirilenko
-Pironkova
-Lucic (wishful thinking, I know, but it would be a nice story)
-Hantuchova

I can easily see one of the four (I'm excluding Mirjana because she would need a miracle, but I'm considering this more of a wish-list) having a really good 2 weeks mixed with a forgiving draw and winning a GS. Then again, all of my picks have been to the second week of a slam before so I'm playing it a little safe.

Halep winning RG in 2016? :shrug:
