Predicted Winners in BOLD

[4] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. Jarkko Nieminen (FIN) – The veteran will not continue.

[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [31] Fernando Verdasco (ESP) – Nole should win here, but hot sauce could make it interesting for a set or two.

[12] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Jerzy Janowicz (POL) – I’m going to keep picking Jerzy as he keeps coming through for me.

[9] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. [18] Gilles Simon (FRA) – Call me crazy.

[8] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. Benjamin Becker (GER) – I foresee tiebreaks.

[5] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs Steve Johnson (USA) – I love Johnson, but Kei should have too much.

Vasek Pospisil (CAN) vs. Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) – Canadian content?  I think Lopez could easily win here, but I’ll go Canadian.

[19] John Isner (USA) vs. Gilles Muller (LUX) – The big man is navigating a manageible draw
