Cincinnati 2016: ATP Quarterfinal Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Steve Johnson VS Grigor Dimitrov – I am torn on this match.  Johnson won a bronze medal in doubles and pulled a huge upset over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to secure his spot as the top ranked US male in singles.  He is basking in good vibes. Grigor Dimitrov is playing his best tennis since…

Cincinnati 2016: August 18th ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Grigor Dimitrov VS (2) Stan Wawrinka – Grigor appears to be playing much better than some of his earlier 2016 form.  Still, I think Stan wins the battle of one-handed backhands by serving bigger than Grigor and pushing him backward during rallies.

Dubai 2015: Semifinal Predictions

Novak Djokovic vs. Tomas Berdych I doubt it will be this one-sided, but I expect a similar result. Berdych has had a nice start to 2015.  I don’t think he has much of a chance in this match, but Berdych has been quite consistent.  Nole has won 2 of the past 3 slams after a…
