Metz 2017: Championship Prediction
[Q] Peter Gojowczyk (GER) vs. [7] Benoit Paire (FRA) This has been a huge week for the qualifier. Still, Paire playing on home soil is the odds on favorite to win the match. Paire is sporting a lumberjack beard, but if he keeps winning there should be no reason to abandon the trend until it hits Neanderthal proportion….
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 9th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD MONACO Juan vs. MURRAY Andy – Murray will be facing a tough fighter in Monaco, but Monaco doesn’t have enough firepower to really bother Murray. NADAL Rafael vs. SEPPI Andreas – I don’t think it will be as one-sided as Rafa’s first round match, but Rafa should win in straight sets. CUEVAS…
Rio Olympic Tennis: August 7th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Dustin Brown VS Thomaz Bellucci – I think the home court edge will be big in this match. Also, the slow surface hurts Dreddy’s attacking style. Viktor Troicki VS (2) Andy Murray – Andy can beat this Serbian player in Rio. Can he beat the other? (1) Novak Djokovic VS Juan Martin del Potro – A 2012 bronze medal…
Masters Canada 2016: July 26th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Alexander Zverev (GER) vs. Yen-Hsun Lu (TPE) H2H – I often am wrong when I pick against Lu in early rounds. [10] Gaël Monfils (FRA) vs. Joao Sousa (POR) H2H – Gael faces a tough opponent, but I like Gael’s chances. [5] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. Borna Coric (CRO) H2H – Berdych will likely have…
Washington, DC 2016: ATP Quarterfinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [6] Jack Sock (USA) vs. [13] Ivo Karlovic (CRO) H2H – Jack should win so long as he returns well and/or plays well in tiebreaks. I am not sure that will happen. Ivo just won a tournament and has the advantage of knowing exactly what his game plan is. [1] John Isner…
Washington, DC 2016: July 21st ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD (Q) Ryan Harrison VS (5) Steve Johnson – This is a big match for both men. Johnson won his first title right and had a decent Wimbledon. He entered Newport as the #1 seed and underperformed. A strong showing in DC would make Newport a blip on Johnson’s 2016 radar. Harrison battled through the qualifying…
Washington, DC 2016: July 19th ATP Predictions
Practice makes perfect? Predicted Winners in BOLD Donald Young (USA) vs. [Q] Ernesto Escobedo (USA) H2H – I think Young should win this match, but the qualifier should be match tough. [12] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Daniel Evans (GBR) – Dimitrov has become quite hard to predict in matches such as this. I think Dimitrov wins,…
Monte Carlo 2016: April 11th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Alexander Zverev (GER) vs. [WC] Andrey Rublev (RUS) H2H – This should be fun, but Zverev is very solid. [13] Gael Monfils (FRA) vs. Gilles Muller (LUX) H2H – Again this should be fun, but Gael should win if he plays along the lines of how he played in Miami. [9] Richard Gasquet…
Chennai 2016: Semifinal Predictions
One match each away from a 2016 rematch Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs [3] Benoit Paire (FRA) – I think Stan wins so long as he keeps his error count down. [8] Borna Coric (CRO) vs Aljaz Bedene (GBR) – Coric is no lock here, but I think he is clearly favored. I…
