Predicted Winners in BOLD

Centre Court

[2] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ) – If Rafa drops a set, no one will be shocked.  If Rafa drops 3 sets, I will be shocked.

[4] Roger Federer (SUI) vs Santiago Giraldo (COL) – This could be a tricky match for Roger as Giraldo is playing well in recent months.

Court 1

[5] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs Denis Istomin (UZB) – This is closer to being a coin toss than Stan would prefer.

Court 2 (11:30 a.m. start)

[8] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs Lukasz Kubot (POL) – Milos seems to be at the forefront of a noticeable youth movement on the ATP Tour.

Court 3

[9] John Isner (USA) vs [19] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – Neither man is known for his return game, but Lopez is on such a roll on grass that I think he gets the nod.

Court 12

[15] Jerzy Janowicz (POL) vs [23] Tommy Robredo (ESP) – If Jerzy has anything left in the tank, he has to be feeling good about back-to-back 5 set wins.

Court 18

[10] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs [LL] Simone Bolelli (ITA) – I like Kei’s chances to win this match, but Bolelli has been on his game.

Court 17

[WC] Nick Kyrgios (AUS) vs Jiri Vesely (CZE) – Youth!
