Predicted Winners in BOLD KVITOVA Petra vs. WOZNIACKI Caroline – This should be a fun match. It is also unpredictable given how many bad losses each of them have had in 2016. I think Petra should win due to the slow court and her ability to hit through it. BOUCHARD Eugenie vs. KERBER Angelique – The…

Rio Olympic Tennis: August 8th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD I will have something up regarding the state of the men’s draw as I think that topic deserves its own post. Juan Martin del Potro VS Joao Sousa – JMDP pulled a massive upset that opens many doors for possible medalists in the top half of the draw. JMDP should win this match,…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 7th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Dustin Brown VS Thomaz Bellucci – I think the home court edge will be big in this match. Also, the slow surface hurts Dreddy’s attacking style. Viktor Troicki VS (2) Andy Murray – Andy can beat this Serbian player in Rio. Can he beat the other? (1) Novak Djokovic VS Juan Martin del Potro – A 2012 bronze medal…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 7th Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD WILLIAMS Serena vs. GAVRILOVA Daria – The surface is slow and Serena is facing a fast young player. That could cause some problems. I think Venus’ loss will have Serena even more focused for this match as well as her doubles match with Venus today. So long as Serena doesn’t drown…
Atlanta 2016: Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner Championship Prediction
Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner This match is interesting on several levels. Isner skipped the olympic games to in part seek his 4th Atlanta title. Nick Kyrgios’ troubles with Tennis Australia left him out of the 2016 olympic games. Each man has a massive service game. Isner’s consistency has never been questioned, but his game…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 6 Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Albert Ramos-Vinolas VS (4) Kei Nishikori – Kei should win, but his deep run in Canada may make an adjustment to Rio a bit slower than some other players’ process of adaptation. Malek Jaziri VS (5) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – I like Tsonga so long as he is feeling healthy. (6) Gael Monfils VS Vasek Pospisil – Pospisil has a canon serve…
Atlanta 2016: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Yoshihito Nishioka VS (2) Nick Kyrgios – Kyrgios being left out of the olympic games more than likely put him into the Atlanta draw. Kyrgios has a great chance to reach an ATP final and purge some of the negativity that came from his Wimbledon and Toronto exits. John Isner VS (WC) Reilly Opelka – 2.09…
Masters Canada 2016: Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori Championship Prediction
One more time Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori Novak Djokovic leads their head-to-head series 9-2 and has won all 4 of their 2016 meetings (2 on clay and 2 on hard courts) winning 9 of 10 sets. Is there any reason to think Kei Nishikori can win this match? Yes. Novak’s serve has seemed a…
Montreal 2016: Simona Halep vs. Madison Keys Championship Prediction
These sort of points are worth our viewing Madison Keys vs. Simona Halep This is an excellent championship match. Both players are legitimate threats looking for their first Grand Slam title, but they play in a way that contrasts their strengths. Keys has power and loves to dictate play. Halep is a gifted counter-puncher. Keys…
Masters Canada 2016: ATP Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. [3] Kei Nishikori (JPN) H2H – Stan’s job is to use blunt force to push Kei back behind the baseline. Stan will also need to serve well as Kei has an excellent return. Kei’s job will be to rob Wawrinka of time. Stan’s full swings with less time…
