Atlanta 2016: Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner Championship Prediction

Nick Kyrgios vs. John Isner This match is interesting on several levels.  Isner skipped the olympic games to in part seek his 4th Atlanta title.  Nick Kyrgios’ troubles with Tennis Australia left him out of the 2016 olympic games.  Each man has a massive service game.  Isner’s consistency has never been questioned, but his game…

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 20th ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Alexander Zverev VS Taylor Fritz – Future Shock? Zverev seems a bit further along, but Fritz might be boosted by the DC fans. Yen-Hsun Lu VS (2) Gael Monfils – Monfils holds a 2-0 head-to-head lead, but they have not met since January 2013.  I think Lu pulls the upset if solely because Monfils has been…
