Predicted Winners in BOLD

I will be sticking with my original picks to the best of my memory’s ability for matches already underway.

Julien Benneteau (FRA) v Kei Nishikori (JPN) [5] – I think Kei wins so long as he returns well and hits good passing shots.

Yen-Hsun Lu (TPE) v Andy Murray (GBR) [2] – Andy Murray should win.

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) v Gilles Simon (FRA) [16] TO FINISH 1-0 – Original pick

Daniel Evans (GBR) v Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) [30] TO FINISH 6-6 – Original pick

Richard Gasquet (FRA) [7] v Marcel Granollers (ESP) – This should be a fun match.

Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) v Horacio Zeballos (ARG) TO FINISH 6-4 5-4 – Original pick

Donald Young (USA) v Leonardo Mayer (ARG) TO FINISH 6-4 7-5 3-6 2-1 – Original pick

Sam Querrey (USA) [28] v Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) TO FINISH 6-4 5-2 – Original pick

Dennis Novikov (USA) v Joao Sousa (POR) [31]

John Isner (USA) [18] v Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) TO FINISH 7-6(2) 1-3 – Original pick

Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) [14] v Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ)

Jack Sock (USA) [27] v Robin Haase (NED) – If Sock can ride his serve/forehand 1-2 punch, I think he can win, but otherwise …

Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Federico Delbonis (ARG) TO FINISH 6-4 1-6 4-1 – Original pick

Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS) v Gilles Muller (LUX) – Muller’s solid grass court season has me giving him an edge here.

Benoit Paire (FRA) [26] v John Millman (AUS) – Who knows with Paire

Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) v Viktor Troicki (SRB) [25]

Steve Johnson (USA) v Jeremy Chardy (FRA) TO FINISH 1-0 – Original pick
