Predicted Winners in BOLD

[1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Karen Khachanov (RUS) – Rafa rolls and is rolling toward #1 for 2017.

[2] Alexander Zverev (GER) vs. Fabio Fognini (ITA) – If Fognini can make Zverev’s movement a factor, I think he could win.  However, most factors lean toward the young German taking this match.

[6] John Isner (USA) vs. Leonardo Mayer (ARG) – Isner outside of the US is not as imposing, but I think his serve, forehand, and experience in close sets lead him to victory over Mayer.

[7] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. Andrey Rublev (RUS) – I’ll throw in one upset.
