Tennis Head-to-Head Winning Streaks
This tweet came up ahead of the Monfils-Djokovic match. I don’t imagine Ivan Lendl is being invited to a ton of events at the Mayotte or Gilbert households. #AusOpen Thursday preview: Gael Monfils aims for his 1st Tour-level win against Novak Djokovic on his 15th attempt. pic.twitter.com/99AhcfjmKv — Michal Samulski (@MichalSamulski) January 17, 2018…
ATP World Tour Finals 2016: November 15th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD This slate of matches has a definite undercard and main event feel. (6) Gael Monfils VS (8) Dominic Thiem – Although Thiem won his first set versus Novak Djokovic, I believe the more experienced player is favored. Still, I think Thiem has gone too long without a good win given the…
Japan Open 2016: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Tokyo’s draw seemed softer than Beijing’s at the outset, but I am not sure that the quality of the final four at each ATP 500 level event is terribly different. (5) David Goffin VS (4) Marin Cilic – Cilic played well at Queen’s Club, Wimbledon, the Rio games, and Cincinnati. His mystifyingly poor US Open…
Tennis Power Ranking 2016: Stan Takes New York
10th Tennis Power Ranking of 2016 Novak Djokovic – Novak has not had the post Roland Garros victory lap he may have hoped for, but a title in Toronto and runner-up finish in New York keep him comfortably on top. Andy Murray – Murray followed up his strong Rio and solid Cincinnati events with an…
US Open 2016: Djokovic vs. Monfils Semifinal Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Gael Monfils In one corner, we have a strong veteran of the tour who is playing the best tennis of his career. In the other corner, we have the world #1, defending champion, and a man who is undefeated versus his opponent in ATP Tour and ITF matches. Monfils is playing great…
US Open 2016: September 6th Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Pouille deserves this highlight, but Monfils gets my nod [10] Gael Monfils (FRA) vs [24] Lucas Pouille (FRA) – Gael has had a very strong hard court summer. Pouille has played some gritty tennis to win so many marathon matches including a marathon versus Rafa Nadal. If fatigue is not a factor, this could go…
US Open 2016: September 4th Men’s Predictions
Arthur Ashe Stadium (11 a.m. start) [4] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs [24] Lucas Pouille (FRA)[24] – I like Rafa to win and likely in straight sets. I could see Pouille making one set close or even stealing a set. [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Kyle Edmund (GBR) – Novak needs to get into the flow of the…
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: August 29th Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Denis Istomin (UZB) – I could see Istomin push this to 4 sets, but Rafa likely wins in 3 or 4 sets. Could this happen again? [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Jerzy Janowicz (POL) – Jerzy looked so promising in 2012 and 2013. [7] Marin Cilic (CRO)…
