Predicted Winners in BOLD
Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Leonardo Mayer (ARG) H2H – Should be a fun 50-50 type match. If Mayer is returning well, my pick will look silly.
[9] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) H2H – GGL in an upset. Ferrer may come to life this week, but 2016 has not been his year.
[11] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) H2H – A dangerous opponent, but Milos should win.
[10] Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. [Q] Roberto Carballes Baena (ESP) H2H
Vasek Pospisil (CAN) vs. [Q] Radek Stepanek (CZE) H2H – This match does not interest me much. The worm seems past his prime and Vasek on clay … Radek should be match tough from qualifying.
[16] Gilles Simon (FRA) vs. Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) H2H – Gilles needs to draw errors out of Baghdatis.
Viktor Troicki (SRB) vs. Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS) H2H – This should be a fun match, but I think youth is rising in 2016.
[12] David Goffin (BEL) vs. [Q] Lucas Pouille (FRA) H2H
Sam Querrey (USA) vs. [Q] Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) H2H – Does Querrey have a workable match/draw? Yes. Will he win? Uh … why not?
