Predicted Winners in BOLD

[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [13] David Goffin (BEL) – I could see Goffin trouble Nole, but I think Nole’s game has more heft and will ultimately prevail due to that fact.

[8] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – I think Rafa is improving his form incrementally and that will be enough to fend off Lopez unless Lopez serves out of his mind.

[2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [15] Kevin Anderson (RSA) – Federer should advance past a tricky opponent.

[5] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. Ivo Karlovic (CRO) – Ivo always has a chance, but Stan has to be favored.

[7] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [12] Richard Gasquet (FRA) – Gasquet has Kyrgios’ number.  Can he also upend the defending US Open champion?

Jerzy Janowicz (POL) vs. [Q] Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) – Jerzy looked like a future star from the Bercy in 2012 through Wimbledon 2013.  The Dolg has fallen on hard times as well.  The winner will take some much needed momentum and ranking points into the US Open.

[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. Tommy Robredo (ESP) – Is Berdych’s mind back in the game?  If not, Robredo likely wins.

[3] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. [16] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) – Andy Murray has dealt with terrible scheduling at multiple events in 2015, but he seems to display a lot of fortitude when in these situations.
