2020 is shaping up to be an incredible year for sport. Here, Eurosport’s journalists make one big prediction for the year ahead.
Dawn of new Grand Slam winners? Or not?
Tom Adams: By the end of 2020, Rafael Nadal will take Roger Federer’s record and be the man with the most Grand Slam titles in history.
Michael Hincks: Copy and paste. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to sweep the Grand Slams again. Stefanos Tsitsipas and others are knocking on the door, but they'll need the old guard to be struck down by injuries if they want to win a major.
Marcus Foley: That someone other than Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer will win multiple GSs in the year.
Carrie Dunn: Teenage American Coco Gauff to make the final of a Grand Slam.
Dreaming of Olympic glory
Ola Fisayo: Japan - USA Olympic baseball semi-final to be the most watched sporting event of the year (beating the Euro 2020 final).
Ben Snowball: ‘Sky Brown’s Pro Skater 1’ hits the shelves after the youngster, aged just 12, wins an Olympic skateboarding medal for GB.
Dan Quarrell: Dina Asher-Smith is going to be a sensation for Great Britain at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and be the undisputed biggest star of the year. The 24-year-old has already triumphed at world and European levels, but she will finally get the true recognition she deserves when she wins gold in the 200m and adds silver medals in the 100m and 4x100m relay.
Federer retiring?
James Gray: Roger Federer is retiring, either at the Swiss Indoors or the Laver Cup. I just can't decide which.
Freddie Clayton: Federer to announce retirement from tennis after winning Wimbledon.
Ledecka's year?
Peter Sharland: Ester Ledecka is here to stay in the speed racing. She podiums in five more races this season. Want more on Ledecka? Check out our interview!
