Cincinnati 2015: August 20th ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. [13] David Goffin (BEL) – I could see Goffin trouble Nole, but I think Nole’s game has more heft and will ultimately prevail due to that fact. [8] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – I think Rafa is improving his form incrementally and that…

Masters Rome 2015: May 11th ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD This is a great slate of 1st round matches [10] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs Jerzy Janowicz (POL) H2H – Grigor, “I will never be a journeyman as I reached a Wimbledon semifinal.” Jerzy, “Are you sure?” I think Grigor is playing well enough to be relevant in the top levels of tennis,…

Masters Madrid 2015: May 4 ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [11] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs Benjamin Becker (GER) H2H – It is pretty amazing Becker is still out there given that his biggest moment came at the 2005 US Open.  On clay, Becker might even have a look at an upset vs. FLo.  Still, Lopez is playing the best tennis of his career, and…

Australian Open 2015 – Men’s Draw: Impressions

Novak Djokovic got a good draw, but Wawrinka and he could contest an epic semifinal. Roger Federer’s camp likely wanted Nole and Rafa to battle it out, but Rafa has a tricky first round match. Jerzy Janowicz vs. Juan Martin del Potro is my favorite first round match on paper.  Each big man wants to…

Masters Cincinnati 2014: Day 4 ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [3] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs [14] Marin Cilic (CRO) H2H – This is close to a 50-50 match in my mind, but Wawrinka is a little more solid overall than Cilic in my view.  This could be the match of the day though so if you have a ticket be sure to watch….

Bercy 2013 Semifinal Predictions: Djokovic v. Federer & Nadal v. Ferrer

The Masters 1000 event in Paris is always good, but having all 8 World Tour Finals participants in the quarterfinal round was something.  Here are my picks: 2 Novak Djokovic vs. 5 Roger Federer Federer has played well to get to this point.  Beating Kevin Anderson, Phillipp Kohlschreiber and Juan Martin del Potro in succession…

Milos Raonic May Make a Move

Milos and Jerzy Tennis is a funny sport.  At Wimbledon, Poland’s Jerzy Janowwicz was the toast of the sport.  He bludgeoned his way to the final four and had a few chances versus eventual champion Andy Murray.  I even recall a tweet from a major tennis writer stating something along the lines that Janowicz was…
