Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs. [6] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) – JMDP has a really tough match here, but his momentum from Shanghai and Stockholm should carry him through. [2] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [Q] Marton Fucsovics (HUN) – Cilic has had a nice year, but also really lacks a signature win.  Maybe a Wimbledon rematch in Fed’s…

Basel 2017: October 23rd Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Denis Shapovalov (CAN) vs. Yuichi Sugita (JPN) – This could be a fun match.  I think Shapovalov has an edge in talent, but Suguta has risen in the rankings in his late 20s and has an experience edge.  I expect this to go 3 sets. Robin Haase (NED) vs. [WC] Marco Chiudinelli (SUI) – With a home crowd, a…

Vienna 2017: October 23rd Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Gilles Simon (FRA) vs. [WC] Ernests Gulbis (LAT) – Simon is the more steady of the two, but both can kind of lull an opponent into an odd mental state.  This should be interesting if nothing else. Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – On an indoor hard court, I think Lopez could serve well enough to…
