Some tennis afficionado might disagree with me on this, but I think the men's team is more wide open than some may think.

Despite Federer earning his 16 major title, I think that the men's field will be more competitive than some may think.

I definitely think it's more wide open than the women's field because I think the women's field will be determined by one of the Williams sisters.
