US Open 2016: September 2nd Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) – Youzhny is a good opponent for Novak as I don’t think he can overpower an injured Novak. Also, Youzhny’s great variety is neutralized a bit by Novak’s speed and anticipation. [4] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS) – Rafa seems closer to his…
US Open 2016: September 2nd Women’s Predictions

US Open 2016: August 31st Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Jiri Vesely (CZE) – I think Novak will win and look better than he did versus the bomb serving/drop shot happy Jerzy Janowicz. [4] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Andreas Seppi (ITA) – Seppi should produce some fun rallies with Seppi. Still, Rafa will likely win. Louis Armstrong Stadium [20]…

[9] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) vs Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) – Which career would you prefer? Kuznetsova has won 2 majors in singles while Wozniacki spent many weeks ranked #1 with no major titles….
US Open 2016: August 30th Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Fernando Verdasco (ESP) vs. Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [3] – This is a terrible first round draw for both players. I think Stan wins, but this could easily go the other way.

Kateryna Kozlova (UKR) vs. Venus Williams (USA) [6] – Venus is hard to predict in singles at this stage of her career, but I would think she should win. I was 1 year out of undergraduate studies…
