Predicted Winners in BOLD

[1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. [24] Diego Schwartzman (ARG)  – It looks like Echo Year 2.0 could be upon us.  I don’t see many players on tour challenging the top 2 or 3 players (not seeds).  Rafa should roll.

[3] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. [17] Nick Kyrgios (AUS) – The Cincinnati final rematch from 2017 is upon us.  I think Grigor wins, but Kyrgios is close to even money here.

[6] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [10] Pablo Carreño-Busta (ESP) – I remain a little iffy on Cilic.

Kyle Edmund (GBR) vs. Andreas Seppi (ITA) – A big chance for one of these two.
