Predicted Winners in BOLD
[3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) – This is not an ideal draw for Roger, but over 3 out of 5 sets I think he will win even if Dolg comes out on fire.
[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [WC] Quentin Halys (FRA) – Novak should roll.
[7] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs Austin Krajicek (USA) – Kei should advance.
[9] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. [WC] Omar Jasika (AUS) – Jo is a mystery to me heading into this event, but I think he wins.
[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs Mirza Basic (BIH) – The Big Czech basically advances in matches such as these.
[29] Nick Kyrgios (AUS) vs. Pablo Cuevas (URU) – No upsets picked yet.
[15] David Goffin (BEL) vs Damir Dzumhur (BIH) – For Frodo!
[24] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) – Big man tennis or not?
[14] Gilles Simon (FRA) vs Evgeny Donskoy (RUS) – I like Gilles here as well. So many seeds being picked.
[28] Andreas Seppi (ITA) vs Denis Kudla (USA) – I nearly picked Kudla, but I am not sure he has enough heft to win 3 sets vs. Seppi.
[19] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs. Nicolas Almagro (ESP) – Again, I nearly took Almagro, but Thiem seems poised for big things.
[27] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs [Q] Marco Trungelliti (ARG) – Grigor wants Roger in the 3rd round.
Federico Delbonis (ARG) vs. Renzo Olivo (ARG) – Buenos Aires will be watching.
[26] Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) vs. Daniel Brands (GER) – I have to pick against one seeded player.
[24] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs Dusan Lajovic (SRB) – Vamanos!
[Q] Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) vs. [WC] Noah Rubin (USA) – I like this match, but I have no idea who is likely to win.
