Predicted Winners in BOLD
[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [5] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) H2H – Nole is likely to win this match as I think Wawrinka is a bit fatigued physically and mentally. Plus, what is the status of Stan’s back after such a long serving duel?
[3] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. [12] Richard Gasquet (FRA) H2H – I like Murray to win this match unless fatigue is a problem. Fatigue certainly could be a factor for Andy at this point, but Murray is also playing with house money after his escape artist victory over Dimitrov.
[2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Feliciano Lopez (ESP) H2H – This should be fun for the fans, but Roger’s game is going to solve Lopez’ at some point unless Lopez just serves out of his mind.
[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. [Q] Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) H2H – The Dolg has steadied his game and his ranking with his quarterfinal run here. I think he can pull of an upset versus Berdych, but I also see Berdych playing in a straightforward manner that will crowd out some of Dolgopolov’s randomness.
