Indian Wells Picks 3-17-2012
Projected Winner in BOLD Semifinals Novak Djokovic (1) vs. John Isner (11) – John Isner is on the cusp of becoming a top 10 player. He is at worst the second hardest player on tour to break. Still, Novak should win this match. It is by no means a certainty because if a player holds…
