Predictions and Comments on the Tennis and Golf Scene

Here are some predictions and comments on upcoming sports events.

Wimbledon tennis begins tomorrow and I predict neither big favorite, Novak Djokovic on the men’s side nor Serena Williams among the women, will win the title.

If neither wins the title, that would be a pretty big upset.

I should have said this before the Masters but I did feel it. Now with only two golf major tournaments left, it is not much of a pick to say Rory McIlroy will not win a major tournament this year.

As for Jordan Spieth who has been great, he will not win one either. Maybe the end of success has come for Tiger Woods, but no golfer will be anywhere near as successful for a long time.

However, I never felt Woods was that close to being the greatest golfer ever, as for example, the “built up” Phil Mickelson, was probably his toughest competition.

There were much tougher foes for the great golfer, Jack Nicklaus, whose record for major tournament wins seems safe for now.

Also his status as the best golfer, always safe in my more perspective based view, is “safe” even among the instant gratification types that permeate the sports media.

Jack Nicklaus,
