Predicted Winners in BOLD I will have something up regarding the state of the men’s draw as I think that topic deserves its own post. Juan Martin del Potro VS Joao Sousa – JMDP pulled a massive upset that opens many doors for possible medalists in the top half of the draw. JMDP should win this match,…

Rio Olympic Tennis: August 7th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Dustin Brown VS Thomaz Bellucci – I think the home court edge will be big in this match. Also, the slow surface hurts Dreddy’s attacking style. Viktor Troicki VS (2) Andy Murray – Andy can beat this Serbian player in Rio. Can he beat the other? (1) Novak Djokovic VS Juan Martin del Potro – A 2012 bronze medal…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 7th Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD WILLIAMS Serena vs. GAVRILOVA Daria – The surface is slow and Serena is facing a fast young player. That could cause some problems. I think Venus’ loss will have Serena even more focused for this match as well as her doubles match with Venus today. So long as Serena doesn’t drown…
Atlanta 2016: Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner Championship Prediction
Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner This match is interesting on several levels. Isner skipped the olympic games to in part seek his 4th Atlanta title. Nick Kyrgios’ troubles with Tennis Australia left him out of the 2016 olympic games. Each man has a massive service game. Isner’s consistency has never been questioned, but his game…

Rio Olympic Tennis: August 6 Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD First, a big thanks to the ATP’s website for listing the men’s schedule. I had to go to the olympic site to get a listing of women’s olympic matches. The WTA should list the schedule too. The women’s slate for August 6th features a lot of good matches so I’ll jump…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 6 Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Albert Ramos-Vinolas VS (4) Kei Nishikori – Kei should win, but his deep run in Canada may make an adjustment to Rio a bit slower than some other players’ process of adaptation. Malek Jaziri VS (5) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – I like Tsonga so long as he is feeling healthy. (6) Gael Monfils VS Vasek Pospisil – Pospisil has a canon serve…
Atlanta 2016: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Yoshihito Nishioka VS (2) Nick Kyrgios – Kyrgios being left out of the olympic games more than likely put him into the Atlanta draw. Kyrgios has a great chance to reach an ATP final and purge some of the negativity that came from his Wimbledon and Toronto exits. John Isner VS (WC) Reilly Opelka – 2.09…
