Tennis Masters Canada: August 8 ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD

Third Round

Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Denis Istomin – If Novak is going to finish 2013 #1 he will need to do well at events such as this one.

Andy Murray (2) vs. Ernests Gulbis – Murray should win, but Gulbis does have the firepower to pull the upset if Murray is not playing well.

Benoit Paire vs. Marinko Matosevic – Paire has had a strong 2013.

Tomas Berdych (5) vs. Vasek Pospisil – I am going to call upset alert on this match.

Nikolay Davydenko vs. Alex Bogomolov Jr. – Davy making a comeback?

Rafael Nadal (4) vs. Jerzy Janowicz (15) – I love this match up as both guys play a super physical brand of tennis, but do so in completely different ways.  I think Rafa is the favorite, but this should be an electric match.

Juan Martin del Potro (6) vs. Milos Raonic (11) – JMDP does not serve as big as Raonic, but he does everything else better.  Still, Milos is on home soil and has posted 2 nice wins thus far.

Richard Gasquet (7) vs. Kei Nishikori (9) – I like Gasquet because he likes this event.  This is close to a 50-50 match.

    wow dan, now i am shocked you DID pick vasek. 😉 lol! that would be amazing for him if he beat berd. personally i don’t think he will. berd is just on another level. but, you never know. i can’t believe jerzy is hanging with rafa so far when his first serve % is barely over 40%!

        My picks have been barely better than 50% so far, but at Wimbledon I went like 4 days without missing a match so it evens out I guess.

    Oh well. You pick some right and some wrong. It’s nice that you got to see Fed today.
