Australian Open Day 8 Men’s Picks

Over the Past 3 Days I have been 17-5 in my Men’s Picks

Predicted Winners in BOLD

Singles – Fourth Round

[13] M Raonic (CAN) v [2] R Federer (SUI) – Raonic has a puncher’s chance against anyone.  He pushed Roger hard in their matches last year.  Raonic also had the perfect 3rd round opponent to get ready for Roger in Philipp Kohlschreiber.  I think this will go at least 4 sets, but Roger is likely going to hold serve often enough to make this match about Raonic’s return game rather than his service game.

[14] G Simon (FRA) v [3] A Murray (GBR) – Simon might be physically gone.  Even if he is fit, Murray does a lot of what Simon does really well, but he has a bigger overall game.  Murray in 3 or 4.

[7] J Tsonga (FRA) v [9] R Gasquet (FRA) – I used to say always pick against Gasquet.

J Chardy (FRA) v [21] A Seppi (ITA) – Chardy will be an unseeded quarterfinalist.

    I read that Chardy hurt himself (knee?) playing doubles…not sure how bad, but if that’s the case, his attacking game could suffer considerably.
