We have another slate of great matches.  I went 8-0 in my picks yesterday.  I hope to keep that pace today.

Predicted Winners in BOLD

Singles – Third Round

B Tomic (AUS) v [2] R Federer (SUI) – This is a possible upset, but Federer in a 3 out of 5 set format has to be heavily favored.

[Q] R Berankis (LTU) v [3] A Murray (GBR) – It is great to see a qualifier win 2 matches in the main draw as well.  The computer points and prize money will be a huge help.  Murray is not going to be terribly charitable though.

[6] J Del Potro (ARG) v J Chardy (FRA) – Chardy is a talented player, and it is nice to see him win a few matches at a slam.  JMDP should advance in 3 or 4 sets.

[7] J Tsonga (FRA) v B Kavcic (SLO) – Tsonga is not above being upset here.

I Dodig (CRO) v [9] R Gasquet (FRA) – The flashy game of Gasquet should avoid an upset so long as he avoids a lot of errors.

[21] A Seppi (ITA) v [12] M Cilic (CRO) – Marin can set up another clash with JMDP.

[13] M Raonic (CAN) v [17] P Kohlschreiber (GER) – In this case, I think variety beats power over a 3 out of 5 set match.

[14] G Simon (FRA) v G Monfils (FRA) – Gael’s comeback continues.
