Predicted Winners in BOLD
Quarterfinals
Novak Djokovic (2) vs. Julien Benneteau – I think Djokovoic and Federer are on a collision course. Benneteau has lived up to what I think of him. Namely, he is a talented and dangerous player. I think Nole comes through in 3 sets.
John Isner (12) vs. Ernests Gulbis (20) – Gulbis has been eerily consistent in 2014 given how inconsistent he has been in his career. His serve is not as big as John’s, but his serve relative to Isner’s vanilla return game is likely stronger than Isner’s serve relative to his return game.

Since Gulbis gave up smoking last year, he has some results.
Smoking can’t be good for a professional athlete’s prospects
