Predicted Winners in BOLD

[8] David Ferrer (ESP) def Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) 62 62

Jérémy Chardy (FRA) vs. [WC] Lucas Pouille (FRA) H2H – Chardy on an indoor court is a slight favorite here.

[4] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. Bernard Tomic (AUS) H2H – Tomic has been trying to round some corners in his career lately and Wawrinka has not played well since Japan, but I think Stan is the favorite.

Don’t expect Novak to surrender this title easily

[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) H2H – Nole is on a mission to end 2015 in style.

[14] Gilles Simon (FRA) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA) – Paire keeps beating his compatriots?

[Q] Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) def Ivo Karlovic (CRO) 46 76 (1) 76 (5)

Jack Sock (USA) vs. Viktor Troicki (SRB) H2H – Sock played well in Basel.  Can he keep that momentum going.

Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs. [WC] Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) H2H – Agut may still be hurting from his loss in the Valencia final, but if not he should win here.

Fernando Verdasco (ESP) vs. Borna Coric (CRO) H2H – This should be fun, but I think Verdasco’s heavy game, if he is focused, will be too much for the youngster.

Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) vs. [Q] Lukas Rosol (CZE) H2H – Will Rosol let another Spaniard slip the hook?
