Predicted Winners in BOLD ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 a.m.) [1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) – Rafa has looked a bit vulnerable, but it is hard for me to see Dolgopolov winning 3 sets in this match. [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [33] Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) (7 p.m.) – Did Federer win on Saturday due to Lopez not having a great return of serve…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Center Court (11 a.m. start) [7] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) H2H – This should be a fun match.  I lean slightly toward Dimitrov because I always have concerns about JMDP’s wrist and backhand.  Still, I think JMDP is the mentally stronger of the two. [14] John Isner (USA) vs. [WC] Frances Tiafoe (USA) H2H – Isner won 2 events after Wimbledon…

Spain vs. Switzerland in Men’s Tennis since 1992

Does the Federer-Nadal rivarly go deeper than just two men?  Probably not, but because Stan Wawrinka said he was tired of answering questions about Roger Federer I got to thinking about their two home countries in the past 25 years of men’s tennis.

French Open 2017: Men’s Championship Prediction – Nadal vs. Wawrinka

Rafael Nadal vs. Stan Wawrinka Rafael Nadal is 9-0 in Roland Garros championship matches.  Stan Wawrinka is 3-0 in major finals.  Who wins?  Who keeps his streak?  I think there is a clear on paper favorite.  However, I think this match is much closer than what the paper says.  Rafael Nadal is the most dominant…

French Open 2017: Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem Prediction

Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem In one year, the tables may be turned when these two face-off on clay (particularly if Thiem wins this match).  However, right now we have a younger player trying to establish himself on his best surface versus the best player ever on this surface.  Thiem did unseat Rafa in Rome…

Philippe-Chatrier Court (11 a.m. start) [4] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs [20] Pablo Carreno Busta (ESP) – This is a lot like Rafa’s last match.  Rafa should win against a gritty player from Spain.  Nadal is the Clay GOAT and is in excellent form in 2017, but I have to also think he is in the heads of…
