Predicted Winners in BOLD

[4] Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Steve Johnson (USA) – Steve Johnson certainly could win this match, but I think Gasquet’s career has gone from frighteningly inconsistent to pretty consistent over the past 2 or 3 years.

Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) vs. [WC] Daniel Evans (GBR) – I think the veteran nabs a win.

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. [PR] Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) – Grigor needs a good showing in the worst way.  I think he gets at least one match win, but his year (and career) need a serious injection of positivity.

[5] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – Cilic is struggling, and FLo is the wrong opponent for him to change that narrative.
