China Open 2016: WTA Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD (11) Johanna Konta VS (8) Madison Keys – I am bullish on Keys in 2017. She has pushed a lot of the top players hard in 2016 and has taken some painful but potentially character building losses along the way. Still, Konta is on the cusp of the top 10 and has a wave…
China Open 2016: ATP Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD I don’t think Ferrer is the same player he was in 2013 (1) Andy Murray VS (5) David Ferrer – Ferrer reaching this round is a nice rebound for him in what has been a less than ideal 2016. Ferrer has had some successes against Andy Murray, particularly on clay, but Andy should win…
Japan Open 2016: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Tokyo’s draw seemed softer than Beijing’s at the outset, but I am not sure that the quality of the final four at each ATP 500 level event is terribly different. (5) David Goffin VS (4) Marin Cilic – Cilic played well at Queen’s Club, Wimbledon, the Rio games, and Cincinnati. His mystifyingly poor US Open…

Khachanov does have an indoor win in 3 close sets, but he lost…
Metz 2016: Thiem vs. Pouille Championship Prediction
Dominic Thiem vs. Lucas Pouille This should be a very fun match. Thiem has been carving out space on the tour for the past 18 months plus and made a nice run to the Roland Garros semifinal round. Pouille gathered a lot of attention for his 5 set win versus Rafael Nadal at the 2016…
St. Petersburg 2016: Wawrinka vs. Zverev Championship Prediction
Stan Wawrinka vs. Alexander Zverev Zverev is a young player with a lot of power and snap in his lanky frame. Stan Wawrinka is coming off of his 3rd major title and seeks his 5th tournament win of 2016. If Stan takes care of his service games, my guess is the pressure will shift to…
US Open 2016: Novak Djokovic vs. Stan Wawrinka Championship Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Stan Wawrinka For the second straight day, I have been slow to post a championship prediction because I can’t come to a clear sense of what I think will happen. Novak Djokovic is the favorite on paper, but we know that Stan Wawrinka’s 2 major titles included wins over Djokovic. They have…
