Quick Hits: June 15, 2015

My Quick Hits The extra week in the grass season has made the transition to Queen’s Club and Halle not seem nearly as rushed.  I was unsure if this extra week would mean much, but seeing it unfold for the first time as a fan and follower of the sport, I love it. Rafael Nadal picked…

French Open 2015: Federer vs. Wawrinka Quarterfinal Prediction

[2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [8] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) It is good to have Stan Wawrinka back.  He won a tune-up in India, pushed Nole hard in the Melbourne semis, and won Rotterdam.  Then, Wawrinka sort of went away.  His semifinal run in Rome, complete with a win over Nadal, was a good start.  Reaching the…

French Open 2015: June 1st Men’s Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [13] Gael Monfils (FRA) 63 46 – TO BE COMPLETED – I will stick with Federer as I picked on Sunday.  This could go either way, but I think if Roger volleys a little better than he did on Sunday he wins.  Monfils let Federer back into the…

French Open 2015: May 31st Men’s Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD This is a great slate of matches, but I could see getting 3 or even all 4 of these matches wrong [4] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs [14] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) – My gut says Tsonga wins this match, but Berdych beat Tsonga in a fairly straight forward manner in Madrid.  Berdych has…

French Open 2015: May 29th Men’s Singles Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Both Fed and Cuevas are Drawing Confidence from Istanbul Damir Dzumhur (BIH) vs. Roger Federer (SUI) [2] – This match is pitting the most known player vs. one of the most unknown players remaining in the draw.  A pro-level opponent swinging freely with nothing to lose can be dangerous, but Federer has been…

French Open 2015: May 27th Men’s Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Fed and Cuevas are in action in Paris [2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Marcel Granollers (ESP) – I don’t think this is the easiest match for Federer. As enticing as Roger’s second week draw is, but matches through the round of 16 are not necessarily ideal.  Fed is still obviously favored…

French Open 2015: May 24th Men’s Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD This is quite a slate of matches for Day 1 [2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs Alejandro Falla (COL) – Federer has a pretty ideal draw in Paris.  A win on Sunday means Roger would only have to win 6 matches over the traditional 2 weeks of the event to take the title.  Falla…
