Predicted Winners in BOLD Center Court (11 a.m. start) [7] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) H2H – This should be a fun match. I lean slightly toward Dimitrov because I always have concerns about JMDP’s wrist and backhand. Still, I think JMDP is the mentally stronger of the two. [14] John Isner (USA) vs. [WC] Frances Tiafoe (USA) H2H – Isner won 2 events after Wimbledon…

Murray has reached his 7th consecutive championship match….
