Predicted Winners in BOLD Center Court (11 a.m. start) [15] Sam Querrey (USA) vs. [WC] Stefan Kozlov (USA) – Querrey has been one of the stories of 2017. I think he can do well in Cincinnati.

Toronto 2017: Svitolina vs Wozniacki Championship Prediction
[5] Elina Svitolina (UKR) vs [6] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) This match should be closely contested. Caroline Wozniacki is an excellent athlete who sometimes lacks enough aggression to grab big wins. Svitolina has a serve that can allow her to dictate play early in points. That to me will be the difference in this match. Svitolina can possibly force…
Masters 1000 – Montreal 2017: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Robin Haase (NED) H2H – Roger Federer should win this match. Federer has stated he’d like at least 1 more week at #1.

2017 Has Been a Throwback Year: Is that a good thing?
We’ve heard of Throwback Thursdays, but tennis in 2017 has been a throwback year. The Australian Open featured a Williams Sisters and a Federer-Nadal final. Even Mirjana Lucic-Baroni reached her first major semifinal since 1999. Newly minted number ones Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber saw dropoffs from their 2016 results at the earliest stages of…
