Oh you're talking about current players. The odds would be against you no matter the opponent or surface. In a long shot I'd go with Wawrinka on hard court and hope The Stanimal shows up.

Not a bad pick. At least the Stanimal thinks he has a chance. Murray, Fed, and Nadal are all sure they're losing before they even get on the court.

Murray at a 500 hard court tournament.

Or

Fed at a 500 grass tournament.

Fun fact: Murray has never beaten djokovic on clay. As in, ever.

Despite the 2015 French, I have to roll with Rafa on clay, though I wouldn't feel confident. Stan on hard court would be a close 2nd.

Looks like Nadal and Kyrgios are going to go three.

I thought Fed should pack it in after 2014, but he was really good last year. When he loses in the third round at Roland Garros, he should announce his retirement for the end of the year so they make a big deal at Wimbledon and the US Open.

Kyrgios is definitely in the conversation for me. He thinks he can win and he has the tools and firepower to push Djoke around a little bit.

I don't know how many more times Stan go full-on BEASTMODE, and, as already stated, I think Fedalray is resigned to defeat on any surface. Fed used to have a puncher's chance in 3-set matches, but I think that time has passed. Murray was doing pretty well when Lendl was his coach, but that time has passed. And Nadal was of course his equal on hards and superior on clay in his prime, but that time has passed as well.

Speaking of retiring, Berdman just got double bageled by Goffin.

Djoker with the sarcastic celebration after winning game 1 of the 2nd set after HE got bageled by Bellucci.
