We've seen the Australian Open in Melbourne, and there are a few months between now and the second grand slam at Roland Garros, Paris, the French Open. There have been some stunning and groundbreaking stories to retell in just the last month, with the failure of Federer or Nadal to win the Australian, let alone reach the final; the startling run of Novak Djokovic; Andy Murray's continuing grand slam woes, and more.

There is a plethora of tournments, however, in the next few weeks, and the tennis season has in truth yet to get started. Already in the last week a breakthrough north American, the frightfully talented Milos Raonic, has made headline news with an upset victory over Fernando Verdasco in the final of San Jose.

Yet there are many more incipient dramatic narratives awaiting their grand unfolding - the storied return of Juan Martin Del Potro to the tour (crushing veteran Lleyton Hewitt last week), the outcome of the first round of the David Cup with its new defending champion, Serbia, Andy Murray's grand slam conundrum, and, as always, the grand narrative of Federer and Nadal, and the destiny they impel men's tennis towards.

These are the exciting stories which 2011 has yet to tell. One shouldnt expect anything too momentous in these months, however, as the real meat of the season really begins with the French Open-Wimbledon double. Yet in the next few slides I have made tentative suggestions, predictions, some crystal ball-gazing, for the time up to the end of the French Open, and the end of the first half of the year.
