Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Steve Johnson (USA) – Steve Johnson certainly could win this match, but I think Gasquet’s career has gone from frighteningly inconsistent to pretty consistent over the past 2 or 3 years.

French Open 2016: May 23rd Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD For predictions regarding matches in progress, see this earlier post. Lukas Rosol (CZE) vs. Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [3] – Stan is the defending champion and has some momentum from winning Geneva.
