Predicted Winners in BOLD

Dr. Ivo took this match in 2016, but I think the results reverse in 2017

Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Ivo Karlovic (CRO) – I think we will see 3 tiebreak sets, but I will go with the lefty.

[9] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs. Hyeon Chung (KOR) – RBA should advance.

[16] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs. [Q] Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO)

[WC] Di Wu (CHN) vs. [Q] Jeremy Chardy (FRA) – Chardy’s serve and forehand should be big enough to win this match.

Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Robin Haase (NED)

Benoit Paire (FRA) vs. [Q] Frances Tiafoe (USA) – Tiafoe may lack some experience, but his game is strong enough to win this match.

Kyle Edmund (GBR) vs. Jiri Vesely (CZE) – This is a match I would make sure to watch if I had tickets. 

Andrey Rublev (RUS) vs. Damir Dzumhur (BIH) – Both players have been playing quite well recently.  It is unfortunate for them to face one another this early, but this is a great first roud match for the fans.

Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) vs. Joao Sousa (POR) – The Iberian Peninsula will never be the same.

Karen Khachanov (RUS) vs. [Q] Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE)
