World Tour Finals 2014: Federer vs. Wawrinka Prediction
The Swiss Civil War: Roger Federer vs. Stanislas Wawrinka Next week, these two competitors will be teammates as Switzerland tries to win the Davis Cup title for the first time. Today, they will face-off for a spot in the championship round of the World Tour Finals. I think Wawrinka has a better chance to spring…
World Tour Finals 2014: Djokovic vs. Nishikori
Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori These two players had a recent duel in Paris. Novak took that match and reversed the results of their US Open semifinal clash. Nishikori has a lot of game and can hurt anyone when his game is clicking. However, Djokovic’s form in Paris and through the round robin matches in…
World Tour Finals 2014: Djokovic vs. Berdych Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Tomas Berdych The 2014 World Tour Finals have produced a lot of one-sided matches. Djokovic has been a big part of this trend as he handed two breadsticks to Marin Cilic and a bagel to Stanislas Wawrinka. Berdych took a beating from Wawrinka, but the Big Czech also handed a beating to…
World Tour Finals 2014: Wawrinka vs. Cilic Prediction
Stanislas Wawrinka vs. Marin Cilic Marin played some great big man tennis to win the US Open. Wawrinka commanded the court and hit through opponents to win the US Open. Each man broke the Big 4’s monopoly on majors this year. With Stan and Marin’s break throughs added to Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov and even Kyrgios…
World Tour Finals 2014: Federer vs. Murray Prediction
Roger Federer vs. Andy Murray I am not sure what to think about this match. Roger has looked razor sharp in his first two wins. He also has beaten Murray both times they have played in 2014 (winning 5 of 6 sets). Murray has won 3 titles since the US Open concluded and needs a…
World Tour Finals 2014: Nishikori vs. Raonic Prediction
Kei Nishikori vs. Milos Raonic This is sort of like George Foreman vs. Floyd Mayweather. One player hits heavy shots and blasts away with punishing power generated by a powerful frame. The other player generates power through exquisite timing. In a boxing match, I would take Foreman over Mayweather because no one in boxing can…
World Tour Finals 2014: Djokovic vs. Wawrinka Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Stanislas Wawrinka These two have posted a lot of great matches over the past two years. Djokovic has an incredibly ability to return serve and go from defense to offense in a single point. Wawrinka can play old fashioned bullying tennis around the court. He can at times hit through Novak’s counter-punching…
World Tour Finals 2014: Berdych vs. Cilic Prediction
Tomas Berdych vs. Marin Cilic Each man took a standing 8 count on Monday. Losing 6-1, 6-1 in a battle of tennis elites is humbling, but in round robin play, one need not go undefeated to advance. Each man came in with some momentum given recent titles in Moscow for Cilic and Stockholm for Berdych….
World Tour Finals 2014: Murray vs. Raonic Prediction
Andy Murray vs. Milos Raonic Milos just reached his second ever Masters 1000 final. Andy Murray won 3 titles after the US Open. Oddly, both come into this match giving a vibe that they need to prove something. Raonic leads their head-to-head series 3-1. I don’t think this data means a lot. If Murray is…
