 At the end of the 2022 season I made some predictions going into the 2023 season on who would actually win the four grand slams. When you go through both the men and the women's results for that I'm going to go react to that and see how close I was. This is who you guys have picked for the Australian Open and you've got Egas Friyantek. Now, well and truly the best player of the season in 2022 and you've picked her ahead of Dabur and Garcia. So interesting to see how Friyantek does. Got to the semifinal this year so not a bad pick. I've actually gone with Garcia for this one because I feel like the Australian Open with the heat and the court service being a bit quicker might favour some of those bigger hitters and I think Friyantek might struggle a little bit. So I'm going to go with Garcia just to be a little bit different for the first tournament of the season. So look, both of us got it wrong. Friyantek made the fourth round. Garcia barely did anything. In fact she started the year off pretty well but then after that completely fell off but Friyantek did make the fourth round. She did lose to Rabakina who was a big hitter so I guess kind of right but in terms of not making, not picking her to go far but Sabalenka won, beat Rabakina in the final and Garcia or Friyantek were nowhere near the quarter-finals will be on. So with the Australian Open coming up in a few weeks time you guys voted that Novak Djokovic is going to be the Australian Open champion ahead of Nadal and Elkaraz and I was through a poll on YouTube and I'm also going with Djokovic. I think that he showed at the end of the last season that when he's on court he's near unstoppable and of course being banned from last year's Australian Open I think he'll be out for revenge so we're both going with Djokovic and he's definitely the favorite to take the trophy. All right no surprise there we've gone with the most winningest champion at the Australian Open and Djokovic was allowed to play the Australian Open which definitely helped because last year of course he was banned in 2022 so he played, he won and we both got that prediction right. Having got the French Open now and again you guys have gone with Egas Friyantek who is the defending champion and I've also gone with Egas Friyantek she lost one match on Clay this year so hard to pick against her at the French Open the slower the surface gives her a little bit more time to hit the ball actually picked her ahead of Djokovic and Goff so I agree Friyantek French Open I think she is the Clay Court Queen at the moment. All right so we both went with the easy pick and we both got it right Friyantek won the French Open pretty easily as well she didn't do too bad on the Clay overall only lost a couple of matches here and there but Friyantek she did win the French Open last year and she has won three of the last four French Opens and I'm sure next year we're going to pick her again. Heading over to the French Open now and again with a vote on YouTube you guys picked Nadal just ahead of Djokovic at the French Open next year and I'm also going with Rafa it's so hard not to pick Rafa because it's so rare that he actually loses at the French Open so I think that we're both going with the obvious pick but also the safe pick. Now that was a tough one because of course 12 months ago Rafa was doing okay he was healthy he wasn't injured he wasn't winning but you know Clay Court tennis Rafa is a totally different Rafa who would have thought that he wouldn't play at all for the entire season he only you know got to play the Australian Open for a couple of matches then got injured and we haven't seen him since so we'll see if Rafa gets the prediction vote next year for the French Open but look Djokovic won maybe we could have picked Djokovic but Rafa the king of clay and he wasn't injured 12 months ago. Having a little Wimbledon now and this was the closest votes because of course Wimbledon has been a little bit random over the years for the ladies and you guys have also gone with Friyantek so it's again so hard to not pick her I guess because she had such a good season but who else are you gonna pick it's always very tough. I've actually gone with Sabalenka now I picked Sabalenka to win the Wimbledon this year of course didn't get to play because of the ban to the Russian and Belarusian players but I'm gonna go with her this year because I think that Wimbledon are gonna let them play and I'm gonna go with Sabalenka I think her game suits the courts of Wimbledon and I think she can get the win there but you guys have gone with Friyantek I'm going with Sabalenka we'll see what happens it might be someone totally different. Okay so Friyantek again didn't do too bad at Wimbledon actually had her best result at Wimbledon I went Sabalenka she was allowed to play luckily so I you know I picked her last year she wasn't allowed to play so at least this year she was there and she wasn't making in the semifinals as well so she did make it far but unfortunately lost to Jabir in the end Svetolina ended up beating Friyantek in the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon so again both got it wrong Von Drusava winning the whole thing against Jabir who would have picked Von Drusava at the start of the year. Heading over to Wimbledon now and this has been dominated by the goats over the last couple of decades and you guys voted Djokovic to win Wimbledon and I've also voted for Djokovic it's again it's so hard not to pick against the guys who have dominated these tournaments over the last decade and Wimbledon seems to be the one that doesn't have random champions it's always Djokovic Nidal or it was Federer when he was playing so we're both going with Djokovic with this one again probably the safe bet. All right so Elkera has got the surprise win beating Djokovic in the final we went too far off and look he was the first player Elkera to win Wimbledon outside of the big four since like 2002 or something so Federer Nidal, Mori, Djokovic so they dominate this event Elkera has finally gets his win and beats Djokovic in that epic final probably match of the year but man if we pick Djokovic for this one it's not the worst pick he almost got the win if he won that second set but you know Elkera's got the win historic and massive and heading to the US open now and again you guys have gone with Igor Sfjontek so Sfjontek all around to win every single slam now she's gonna probably win at least one or maybe two of those so you're probably not going to get too many wrong and obviously she is the defending champion at the US but I'm going to go with Anstjaber I think that she was so close in that final she played so well up until the final at the US open and again both of us got it wrong maybe we thought too much about it remember the US open is super random so maybe we should have picked someone a little bit more random. Goff beats Sabalenka maybe we should have gone with Sabalenka in the end because Sabalenka did win the Australian Open made the final of the US Goff had a great season from that US Open period onwards and made the uh one of first grand slam which maybe nobody had predicted 12 months ago but look Sfjontek and Sfjabuer not the worst predictions but they didn't go very far. Final event of the year being the US Open which does produce random champions and you guys have gone with Novak Djokovic to win the US Open ahead of Elkera's and Nadal and this is where I've gone a little different I've gone with Alexander Zverev after what we saw the last few weeks and I'm expecting by the time we get to the clay court seasons Zverev if he's healthy we'll be back in form he could well and truly win the US Open and maybe the injury that he had over the last six months will kick him back into gear and want to achieve some glory as guys like Medvedev and Elkera have done in the past. All right so you guys went Djokovic and Djokovic beat Medvedev in the final I thought I'd go a little different I went with Zverev he did do okay he beat Sinner in five sets so he did do some damage there he did lose to Elkera in the end in the quarter finals and Elkera of course then lost to Medvedev who then lost to Djokovic so I'm not too mad at that prediction but I should have just gone with the easy one pick Djokovic or at least pick one of the goats because they're always the favorite of these slams but that was for this year let me know down in the comments below how many you actually got right for the ladies and for the men's predictions because it's not easy picking 12 months out as we found out with Rafa the hard way and of course guys like Elkera's winning Wimbledon Von Drusev coming out of nowhere you know Goff playing well at the US Open let me know in the comments below as well what are your predictions for next year we will be doing this video again towards the end of the year so we can try and see how our predictions go but you guys actually voted really well especially on the goat side of things getting a lot right but it's not easy doing this and let me know in the comments below how many you actually got right on your predictions this year
