Predicted Winners in BOLD ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 a.m. start) [24] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs Henri Laaksonen (SUI) (not before 1 p.m.) – I like JMDP here.

Timea Babos (HUN) vs. [WC] Maria Sharapova (RUS) – The controversial one assumes the draw of the #2 seed. [9] Venus Williams (USA) vs. Océane Dodin…
US Open 2017: August 29th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 a.m. start) [1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Dusan Lajovic (SRB) – Rafa should win, but what an experience for Lajovic to face #1 on Ashe. [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Frances Tiafoe (USA) – I could see this going 4 sets if Roger is a little slow to get started…

Predicted Winners in BOLD ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 a.m. start) [1] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs [Q] Magda Linette (POL) – Has a number one seed ever felt less like a favorite to win the title?

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…
US Open 2016: Angelique Kerber vs. Karolina Pliskova Championship Prediction
Angelique Kerber vs. Karolina Pliskova I have been slow to post this as I see this match as being dead even. I will make a case for both of them and then try to pick a winner. Pliskova’s Economic Game Karolina Pliskova is easy to underestimate. I watched her up close at the Cincinnati semifinal…
