Predicted Winners in BOLD
Fourth Round
Rafael Nadal (2) vs. Philipp Kohlschreiber (22) – I will not be shocked if Kohlschreiber is able to at times push Nadal today. However, given Rafa’s current form and the 3 out of 5 set format, I see no real possibility of an upset.
David Ferrer (4) vs. Janko Tipsarevic (18) – I am tempted to take Tipsy, but I think Ferrer is getting his game back at the right time.
Roger Federer (7) vs. Tommy Robredo (19) – Federer looks to set up the most anticipated quarterfinal night match at Ashe since Sampras-Agassi in 2001.
Richard Gasquet (8) vs. Milos Raonic (10) – This is a 50-50 match. Gasquet has had a great year and Milos has had a great hard court summer. Each man has the gifts to win this match, but it will all come down to how often Gasquet can get into Milos’ service games. I have to pick at least one upset so I’ll take Milos in 4 tight sets.


Hi Dan, Agree with your picks. I wonder if Gasquet might make it? Or Tipsy, as you say. But I’d probably stick with your picks if I were a betting person. 🙂
I’d probably take Gasquet, but I need one lower ranked player winning to be a little interesting.
Tipsy has a shot to advance. He toughed it out the last match. His pregnant wife and his new tennis academy might be a motivator.
I agree this is a tough match to pick.
tipsy had leads in a couple sets but squandered them. persistence, for ferrer, pays off.
