By capturing the 2015 Wimbledon title, the year of Novak Djokovic continued in men's tennis. 

Roger Federer making his second consecutive trip to the finals was a great story in London, but this has clearly been Djokovic's year. As Ben Rothenburg of the New York Times noted, Stanislas Wawrinka is the only man to beat him at a Slam this year:



The success of Djokovic this season has made him odds on to win the final Slam of the season, the U.S Open. According to Odds Shark, he tops the favorites at 5-4 odds. Here's a look at the top 10 favorites to win the tournament on the men's side. 



With the US Open providing the top stars of the game their final opportunity to make a statement in 2015, the pressure will be on. Here's a look at what to expect from the game's biggest names as they transition back to hard courts and the end of the year. 

 

Rafael Nadal Will Continue Downward Slide



The 2015 season hasn't been kind to Rafael Nadal. The 29-year-old hasn't made it past a quarterfinal in a Slam this season, and his struggles really came to a head with a second-round loss in London to qualifier Dustin Brown.

While Wimbledon has historically been Nadal's weakest Slam (40-9), the loss felt like a sign of things to come. John Lloyd of the Daily Mail broke down the issues in Rafa's game of late:

His problem is a combination of a lack of confidence and technical issues. On grass, he can get pulled out wide very easily with his two-handed backhand if someone can serve well, as Dustin Brown did on Thursday. 

Nadal does not seem to react very well to that. He gets aced so easily. It is as if he does not want to take chances, does not move up and cut the angle off a little, or go further back and do something different.

There is doubt in Nadal’s mind when he plays. You can see it.
