US Open 2020: September 5th Men’s Singles Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD Arthur Ashe Stadium (Noon start) [3] Daniil Medvedev (RUS)  vs. [WC] J. J. Wolf (USA) – Medvedev is in great form to this point. Can he reach a second straight final? [2] Dominic Thiem (AUS) vs. [31] Marin Cilic (CRO) – I like Thiem to overcome the 2014 champion, but he cannot get too far behind the…

US Open 2020: September 1st Men’s Singles Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD M. McDonald vs. 30 C. Ruud J. Sinner vs. 11 K. Khachanov – Not a great draw for the talented Sinner.  In a few years, these two may be locking horns in the final 8 or beyond in these draws. A. Kuznetsov vs. S. Querrey – Querrey could come through, but I…

Australian Open 2018: Federer vs. Cilic Championship Prediction

ATP World Tour Finals 2017: Day 3 Round Robin Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [8] Jack Sock (USA) H2H – The winner of this match will keep his semifinal hopes realistically alive.  Cilic has more experience and a more well rounded game.  Jack Sock has his massive forehand and momentum from winning in Paris.  Sock leads their head-to-head 2-0 with both wins coming in 2016 (Davis Cup…

Basel 2017: Quarterfinal Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs. [6] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) – JMDP has a really tough match here, but his momentum from Shanghai and Stockholm should carry him through. [2] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. [Q] Marton Fucsovics (HUN) – Cilic has had a nice year, but also really lacks a signature win.  Maybe a Wimbledon rematch in Fed’s…
