Madrid Masters Predictions May 10, 2013
Predicted winners in BOLD Quarterfinals Kei Nishikori (14) vs. Pablo Andujar – A great match for tennis lovers, but I think Andujar will be more fresh and as I said earlier I love Pablo’s game. Andy Murray (3) vs. Tomas Berdych (6) – I think clay helps Berdych here. He can hit through the court whereas Murray’s shots may sit up…
