Predicted Winners in BOLD

Singles – Quarterfinals

[7] J Tsonga (FRA) v [2] R Federer (SUI) – Tsonga has beaten Roger in three big matches.  Still, I think it would be unwise to pick against Roger.  Federer has yet to drop a set and may be setting his 31 year old body up for a two match sprint to the title versus his top foes.  Federer is sharp enough to be favored in this match.

J Chardy (FRA) v [3] A Murray (GBR) – Murray has a chance to be number one everywhere but on the computer if he takes this title.  To do so by avenging his 2010 runner-up finish to Federer and 2011 runner-up loss to Djokovic (not to mention his 2012 semifinal loss to Djokovic) would be doubly sweet.  Chardy has played well to get to this point.  He could take a set off of Murray who seems to be itching for a tough match.  Chardy is unlikely to advance.
