Predicted Winners in BOLD
Grigor has a grass court winning streak
Centre Court
[11] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. [Q] Luke Saville (AUS) – Grigor is one to keep an eye on outside of the top 4 seeds.
[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Radek Stepanek (CZE) – This is not an easy match-up, but Nole should solve the worm.
Court 1
[3] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. Blaz Rola (SLO) – Murray, the Highlander, is defending some sacred ground.
[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. Bernard Tomic (AUS) – This could be entertaining or a steamroll affair.
Court 2
[7] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS) – Dull picking the seeds but
[14] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Sam Querrey (USA) – Pre-injury Querrey would have a shot at an upset.
Court 3
Leonardo Mayer (ARG) vs. [WC] Marcos Baghdatis (CYP)
Court 12
[12] Ernests Gulbis (LAT) vs. Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR) – Gulbis beat an Estonian and now faces a Ukranian. Maybe he can tour the former Soviet Republics and give Latvia a leg up.
Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Andreas Haider-Maurer (AUT)
Court 18
[20] Kevin Anderson (RSA) vs. Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) – Mr. Anderson is dangerous.
[27] Roberto Bautista-Agut (ESP) vs. [Q] Jan Hernych (CZE) – I love Bautista-Agut’s game.
Court 8
[21] Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) vs. Benjamin Becker (GER) – Becker played well in The Netherlands last week and is in good grass court form.
Court 16
[16] Fabio Fognini (ITA) vs. [Q] Tim Puetz (GER)
Gilles Simon (FRA) vs. Robin Haase (NED) – This is a 50-50 match. Haase is more natural for grass, but Simon is a better player over all.
Court 17
Jérémy Chardy (FRA) vs. Marinko Matosevic (AUS) – Chardy carries the hopes of gender conscious fans in this match.
[17] Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) vs. [Q] Jimmy Wang (TPE) – Youzhny is a solid grass court player.
