6. Tomas Berdych: The Czech takes a lot of flak for his various underachieving. For four years, though, he's generally been encamped in the top 10. His shots are flatter than frat-house beer, which doesn't always work well on clay. (He's lost in the first or second round at Roland Garros seven times in 10 appearances.) And over five sets, he can have a hard time sustaining focus. But a semifinal run -- which would match his career best, in 2010 -- is hardly out of the question.

Andy Murray, ranked No. 7, hasn't advanced to a tournament final since winning Wimbledon last July.

16. Tommy Haas: German authorities confirm that his official name is "36-year-old Tommy Haas." He was a quarterfinalist last year. Will his body allow him to do the same in 2014?

Winner: Novak Djokovic
