Predicted Winners in BOLD [8] Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) vs. Ivo Karlovic (CRO) H2H – This is a classic puncher vs. boxer match. Kohlschreiber has more variety and a more sound skill set than Ivo. However, Ivo is going to hold serve almost every game he serves so the big man will be in the mix to…

Queen’s Club 2016: June 16th Prediction
Predicted Winners in BOLD Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) vs. [WC] Kyle Edmund (GBR) H2H – The French veteran is always in great condition and should take advantage of a nice opportunity for some ranking points. [1] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. Aljaz Bedene (GBR) H2H – I like Murray to win here. [3] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. [LL] Jiri…
Halle 2016: June 15th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [8] Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) vs. Marcel Granollers (ESP) H2H – On clay, I’d take the Spaniard. On a hard court, I think this is a 50-50 match. On grass, I am taking Kohlschreiber. [2] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. [PR] Florian Mayer (GER) H2H – Mayer can win this match, and my hunch is…
Madie Cook Interview: 4 Year NCAA Division 1 Player
I will hopefully be doing more interviews as part of this site. Madie Cook was kind enough to answer some questions about tennis. 1. You won a Kentucky High School state title in singles in 12th grade. What was that like? Did it help you entering college tennis? It was one of the best memories…
Halle 2016: June 14th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [PR] Brian Baker (USA) vs. [PR] Florian Mayer (GER) H2H – I love Brian Baker and his story. I just cannot pick him to win this match. [7] Viktor Troicki (SRB) vs. Alexander Zverev (GER) H2H – I think youth wins today. [4] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) H2H – Baghdatis has…
Queen’s Club 2016: June 14th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. Fernando Verdasco (ESP) H2H – I think this could go either way as both have firepower, but I think Hot Sauce is less steady than Stan. [1] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. Nicolas Mahut (FRA) H2H – Not a great draw for Andy to face a player who just…
Halle 2016: June 13th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. Lucas Pouille (FRA) – Kei’s ability to take the ball early should help him on grass, but Pouille is no slouch. [5] David Goffin (BEL) vs. Borna Coric (CRO) – Goffin’s ability to take the ball early should help him, but Coric is no slouch. (echo?)…
Queen’s Club 2016: June 13th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Steve Johnson (USA) – Steve Johnson certainly could win this match, but I think Gasquet’s career has gone from frighteningly inconsistent to pretty consistent over the past 2 or 3 years. Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) vs. [WC] Daniel Evans (GBR) – I think the veteran nabs a…
