[3] Andy Murray (GBR) vs [7] David Ferrer (ESP) Andy Murray is playing the best clay court tennis of his career at the right time This match has a few wrinkles in it. David Ferrer has typically struggled with the Big 4. He does however hold a 2012 Roland Garros victory over Andy Murray. Ferrer also holds a…

French Open 2015: Bacsinszky vs. Uytvanck Quarterfinal Prediction
[23] Timea Bacsinszky (SUI) vs. Alison Van Uytvanck (BEL) It is hard finding highlights for either player The new Swiss Miss has a chance to solidify her status as a top 25 player. Alison Van Uytvanck stands in her way. Alison’s game has a bit more variety and touch than Bacsinszky’s, but the Swiss is quite…
French Open 2015: Serena Williams vs. Sara Errani Quarterfinal Prediction
My predictions yesterday were not particularly good. I will get back on the horse here and try to right the ship by getting as many matches right as I can. [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [17] Sara Errani (ITA) This is not a good match-up for Errani Serena Williams should win this match. Errani has played a lot…

French Open 2015: Federer vs. Wawrinka Quarterfinal Prediction
[2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [8] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) It is good to have Stan Wawrinka back. He won a tune-up in India, pushed Nole hard in the Melbourne semis, and won Rotterdam. Then, Wawrinka sort of went away. His semifinal run in Rome, complete with a win over Nadal, was a good start. Reaching the…
French Open 2015: Nishikori vs. Tsonga Quarterfinal Prediction
[5] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs [14] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) Nishikori leads their head-to-head 4-1, but none of these meetings have taken place on clay. Also, only one of their matches took place in the past 52 weeks. Therefore, I think this match does not have an obvious favorite. Nishikori has demonstrated great clay court form. Tsonga has…
French Open 2015: Safarova vs. Muguruza Quarterfinal Prediction
[13] Lucie Safarova (CZE) vs [21] Garbine Muguruza (ESP) This is an exciting match in my mind. Safarova has one of those games that is hard to quantify, but she is often making noise in big events. Muguruza strikes me as a player with Grand Slam title potential and a big game. The heavy conditions in…
French Open 2015: Ivanovic vs. Svitolina Quarterfinal Prediction
[7] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs. [19] Elina Svitolina (UKR) Elina acquitted herself quite well versus Serena in Melbourne I have been wrong about both of these two players multiple times in this French Open. I needed to do more homework on Svitolina to make an educated guess on this match. It strikes me that the…
French Open 2015: June 1st Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [13] Gael Monfils (FRA) 63 46 – TO BE COMPLETED – I will stick with Federer as I picked on Sunday. This could go either way, but I think if Roger volleys a little better than he did on Sunday he wins. Monfils let Federer back into the…
