Sorry to do all of these at once, but I am mildly sick and am running out of steam for the evening.
Predicted Winners in BOLD
Gstaad
[1] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Dustin Brown (GER) H2H – Dustin Brown in a semifinal on clay is a great showing. I still think Lopez is the favorite even if his best results have not come on clay.
[8] Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) vs. Robin Haase (NED) H2H – Mathieu certainly can win as he is a dedicated professional who is prepared and fit. I think Mathieiu’s best days are behind him even if he is the seeded player in this match.
Umag
Carlos Berlocq (ARG) vs. Andrej Martin (SVK) H2H – I love Berlocq’s fighting spirit. I am not sure if that will be enough, but I think he is a mild favorite.
[4] Fabio Fognini (ITA) vs. Gastao Elias (POR) – Fognini should win this match, but with Fognini that doesn’t mean he will win.
