Predicted Winners in BOLD
[1] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. [7] Gilles Muller (LUX) H2H – On a medium paced or slow surface, I’d take Ferrer 10 out of 10 times. I am a little iffy about this pick on grass.
[2] Bernard Tomic (AUS) vs. [8-WC] Nicolas Mahut (FRA) H2H – Mahut is always prepared and plays quite hard. Mahut also plays his best tennis on grass. Will that be enough?
[3] Ivo Karlovic (CRO) vs. Adrian Mannarino (FRA) H2H – How many sets go to a tiebreak? My guess is 2.
[5] Sam Querrey (USA) vs. [WC] Stefan Kozlov (USA) H2H – Maybe big Sam serves his way through to the semifinal round.
