Predicted Winners in BOLD

[8] Mischa Zverev (GER) vs. Leonardo Mayer (ARG) – On an indoor court, I will take the older Zverev.

[3] David Goffin (BEL) vs [Q] Peter Gojowczyk (GER) – Goffin has been playing quite well since his return this fall.

[1] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [WC] Frances Tiafoe (USA) – The surface speed could mean a lot of close sets, but I think Federer will win more easily than he did in New York.

[2] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [LL] Florian Mayer (GER) – Cilic should win this match, but he is known to play some mystifyingly flat matches.

Benoit Paire (FRA) vs. Steve Johnson (USA) – Johnson has become one of the more steady performers on tour.

[5] Jack Sock (USA) vs. [LL] Vasek Pospisil (CAN) – Doubles partners collide – awkward or fun?

Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) vs. Ryan Harrison (USA) – A gut feeling
