Predicted Winners in BOLD
Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) [7] vs. Gael Monfils (FRA) [20] – I like Dimitrov to win this match, but if Gael wins and Roger wins, Gael will have had some great sparring. Also, Vika singing to Gael has to make it less likely that he advances. Grigor will have to play better than he did vs. Goffin to win though.
Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) [17] vs. Roger Federer (SUI) [2] – A lot like versus Granollers, Federer will need to avoid a lot of errors to have a clean win. I think over 3 out of 5 sets he would figure out how to win even if he is error prone. I am picking Roger in 3 though.
Marin Cilic (CRO) [14] vs. Gilles Simon (FRA) [26] – I’m just crazy enough to pick Gilles here despite Marin’s excellent form thus far.
Tomas Berdych (CZE) [6] vs. Dominic Thiem (AUT) – I’d love to see Thiem win and keep the youth movement rolling, but Berdych will likely win in 4.
