Predicted Winners in BOLD

[3] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. Viktor Troicki (SRB) – Tennis needs Milos Raonic to resume his improving results.

[6] Sam Querrey (USA) vs. Richard Gasquet (FRA) – 9 months ago I pick Gasquet without question (even with a record of injuries).  Querrey has risen quite a bit.

Benoit Paire (FRA) vs. Yuichi Sugita (JPN)

Yen-Hsun Lu (TPE) vs. [WC] Taro Daniel (JPN) – I always get Lu’s matches wrong.

[2] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs. Steve Johnson (USA) – This will likely be a gritty 3 set battle.

[8] Diego Schwartzman (ARG) vs. Donald Young (USA) – This too should be a good match.

Ivo Karlovic (CRO) vs. [Q] Matthew Ebden (AUS) – Sticking with my original pick.
