Projected Winner in BOLD
Quarterfinals
Victoria Azarenka (1) vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (5) – Vika has been shaky and this is a grudge match, but until Vika loses in 2012 I can’t pick against her.
Na Li (8) vs. Angelique Kerber (18) – I like Na Li to advance.
Fourth Round
Juan Martin del Potro (9) vs. Denis Istomin – Istomin might continue to surprise me, but I think Delpo is too solid. I thought the same thing about Ferrer and was wrong.
Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Pablo Andujar – Pablo Andujar has made a solid run this week. Still, Nole should advance in straight sets.
Gilles Simon (13) vs. Ryan Harrison – I think Simon goads enough errors out of Harrison to advance.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (6) vs. David Nalbandian – This could go either way, and Tsonga has to be the favorite. I am picking Nalbandian based upon his ball striking skills.
Roger Federer (3) vs. Thomaz Bellucci – I like Federer to advance, but Bellucci should have a good game plan of how to use his left-handed spinning shots against Roger.
John Isner (11) vs. Matthew Ebden – I am going with Isner based upon his serve. Also, Ebden may have a let down at some point.
Rafael Nadal (2) vs. Alexandr Dolgopolov (21) – I like Nadal in straight sets as he is too consistent to be fazed by Dolgopolov’s variety of spins and speeds. This should be fun though.
Tomas Berdych (7) vs. Nicolas Almagro (12) – I like Almagro to gain some measure of revenge for Berdych’s posturing in Australia. This is a grudge match by the way.
