Halle and Queen’s Club Semifinal Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD

Queen’s Club

Andy Murray vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – Tsonga does not perform well in semifinals (too soon).  This match could go either way, but Murray is the better player when he is 100%, and I would guess he is close to 100% right now.

Marin Cilic vs. Lleyton Hewitt – I initially saw this as a Cilic win, but Marin is defending points and Lleyton has had a lot of grass court successes in his career.  I think Hewitt may grind out an upset here.  My head says Cilic, and my gut says Hewitt.

Halle

Roger Federer vs. Tommy Haas – A rematch of last year’s surprising final.  Now, this match looks close to a 50-50 affair given Haas’ 2013 form.  Still, I think Roger has to be the pick here.  I just would not be even slightly surprised if Haas wins.

Richard Gasquet vs. Mikhail Youzhny – Gasquet needs to get the bad taste of his loss to Wawrinka out of his head.  Gasquet has played like a top 10 player in 2013.
