Predicted Winners in BOLD [6] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. [16] Gael Monfils (FRA) H2H – This is a fascinating match-up that I can’t quite predict.

Miami Open 2016: March 30th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [15] David Goffin (BEL) vs. [18] Gilles Simon (FRA) H2H – Goffin plays more like Davydenko did, but he and Simon are likely among the players no one fully enjoys playing as each has a way of working his way into a match even when it seems improbable.

Miami Open 2016: ATP Round of 16 Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. [10] Richard Gasquet (FRA) H2H – This is a very interesting match as Berdych could over power Gasquet or Gasquet could hit around Berdych with each leading to a different result.
