Predicted Winners in BOLD
Andy Murray (3) vs. Alex Bogomolov Jr. – Andy should advance
Paul-Henri Mathieu vs. Igor Andreev – This is a 50-50 type match, but I like Paul-Henri due to his fitness
Fernando Verdasco (25) vs. Rui Machado Possible upset here
Nikolay Davydenko vs. Guido Pella
Albert Ramos vs. Robby Ginepri – For old time’s sake
Gilles Simon (16) vs. Michael Russell – If I had a ticket this would be the match of the day for me to watch. Expect a lot of long points and counter-punching guile.
Florian Mayer (22) vs. Jack Sock – 3 out of 5 makes Mayer the favorite
Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo vs. Somdev Devvarman
Blaz Kavcic vs. Flavio Cipolla
Marcel Granollers (24) vs. Denis Kudla – Interesting match-up, but Granollers has been quite solid in 2012.
Mardy Fish (23) vs. Go Soeda – Go Fish?
Tim Smyczek vs. Bobby Reynolds
Martin Klizan vs. Alejandro Falla
Kei Nishikori (17) vs. Guido Andreozzi
Daniel Brands vs. Adrian Ungur
Lukas Lacko vs. James Blake – Blake makes an impression for 1 round at least
Jeremy Chardy (32) vs. Filippo Volandri – Chardy has made a few strides lately
Feliciano Lopez (30) vs. Robin Haase – I’ll take Haase with the upset
Marin Cilic (12) vs. Marinko Matosevic – Marin has quietly regrouped
Roger Federer (1) vs. Donald Young – Not an ideal draw for someone with a losing streak
