Predicted Winners in BOLD

Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs Julien Benneteau (FRA) H2H – The head-to-head favors Benneteau, but I think Wawrinka has a nice chance to really assert himself in this match and this tournament.  I think Wawrinka advances.

[6] David Ferrer (ESP) vs [16] Tommy Robredo (ESP) – Two gritty and fit Spaniards square off in what could be the match of the day in terms of overall quality.

[2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [8] Andy Murray (GBR) – Murray could win this one, but I think until Murray wins an event after his surgery it is hard for me to pick him versus another elite player.  This could play out like their Australian Open quarterfinal clash.

[5] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs [15] Fabio Fognini (ITA) H2H – Fognini fans should be happy to see me take Raonic as I keep getting Fognini’s matches wrong.
