Indian Wells 2017: Men’s Semifinal Predictions
Swiss Army Final? Probably, but Does it Come w/ a Can Opener and Cork Screw? [3] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. [21] Pablo Carreno Busta (ESP) I am more confident of Stan Wawrinka advancing than Roger Federer reaching the final.

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.
