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…

What Should the Big Tournament in Canada be Named?
Maybe I am a traditionalist when it comes to tennis, but I always liked the name Canadian Open. It seemed to convey this may not be a Grand Slam event, but it is pretty important.
