Predicted Winners in BOLD

Stadium  (11 a.m. start)

[2] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) – Cilic will get a needed win.

[9] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA) – I like Novak to get this win.

[5] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs. Robin Haase (NED) – JMDP is riding high

Grandstand

[7] David Goffin (BEL) vs. Joao Sousa (POR) – Goffin can win this match, but his health could be a question.

[26] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. [Q] John Millman (AUS)

[14] John Isner (USA) vs. Jiri Vesely (CZE) – Wish Isner, who knows?  Tie-breaks will be the difference in either direction.

[3] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Maximilian Marterer (GER) – Grigor needs to do well before clay hits.  He can play well on clay, but it is not his preferred surface.

Court 1

[13] Diego Schwartzman (ARG) vs. Nicolas Jarry (CHI)

[20] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. [WC] Mikael Ymer (SWE) – Raonic could build upon his solid Indian Wells showing.

Court 2

[12] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs. [Q] Michael Mmoh (USA)

[19] Hyeon Chung (KOR) vs. Matthew Ebden (AUS) – Chung is a rising star.

Court 8

[22] Filip Krajinovic (SRB) vs. [Q] Liam Broady (GBR)

[23] Gilles Muller (LUX) vs. Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) – Good for Youzhny to still be out there, but I think his most memorable moment in Miami has already happened.
