Wimbledon 2015: Winning Time or my Gentlemen’s Quarterfinal Predictions

2-time @Wimbledon champion @DjokerNole closing in on 650th tour-level match win. http://t.co/ZcIWPUF9BY #atp #tennis pic.twitter.com/Jx4rEChBXa — ATP World Tour (@ATPWorldTour) July 1, 2015 In the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I always feel like a team has to reach the Elite 8 or quarterfinal round before thoughts of them becoming champion feel realistic.

Wimbledon 2015: Ladies’ Quarterfinal Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Maria Sharapova (RUS) [4] v Coco Vandeweghe(USA) – Coco can win this match if she presses Maria’s serve. We know Sharapova’s serve can at times go off the rails. If Vandeweghe serves with poise and confidence, she can put a lot of pressure on Sharapova. I still think that the veteran has to…

Wimbledon 2015: AELTC Officials Fail a Common Sense Test in the Case of Anderson vs. Djokovic

7 of the 8 Gentlemen’s Quarterfinalists Get a Day of Rest Prior to the Final 8 Novak Djokovic or Kevin Anderson will not have a full day of rest before his upcoming Wimbledon quarterfinal match on Wednesday. Sometimes this is unavoidable. Darkness is a reality with which tennis courts without lights must deal. Rain can…

Wimbledon 2015: July 6th Gentlemen’s Singles Predictions

#IvoKarlovic the oldest man left in the draw, but 136 aces so far show how dangerous he is: http://t.co/xwY9Wd80jq pic.twitter.com/iF3yPoLR5W — Live Tennis (@livetennis) July 5, 2015 I may be the oldest player in the draw, but my points are usually pretty short = longevity Predicted Winners in BOLD [3] Andy Murray (GBR) v [23]…

Wimbledon 2015: July 6th Womnen’s Predictions

They’ve been doing this for awhile Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Serena Williams (USA) v [16] Venus Williams (USA) – I think Venus played better than Serena through 3 rounds. Venus has the tools to bother and perhaps beat Serena. The problem is that Serena’s iron will when defeat is an option is entirely underrated….

Wimbledon 2015: July 4th Ladies’ Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Petra Kvitova (CZE) v [28] Jelena Jankovic (SRB) – I like Petra to win, but JJ is capable of working her way into a match. If Petra plays a clean match, she will win pretty easily. If errors become a factor, this could go either way. [5] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)…

Wimbledon 2015: July 3rd Gentlemen’s Predictions

It's a rematch of last year's QF on Friday between #MilosRaonic & #NickKyrgios – same result? http://t.co/o0DmPljfBd pic.twitter.com/RpOIrHxJDt — Live Tennis (@livetennis) July 2, 2015 I think Kyrgios is closer to his 2014 form at the moment, but I think the result will be similar to last year with Milos winning in a longer match this…

I do not think this is likely…

Dreddy Time Machine? Wimbledon’s Jurassic World?
