French Open 2016: Novak Djokovic vs. Dominic Thiem Semifinal Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Dominic Thiem Dominic Thiem has won 6 titles over the past 1.5 seasons. 5 of those titles have come on clay. By today’s standards, 22 is young on the tour and Thiem may be the brightest spot among the younger players. A young man on his favorite surface who is playing great…
French Open 2016: Andy Murray vs. Stan Wawrinka Semifinal Prediction
Is Gasquet good sparring ahead of Wawrinka? Andy Murray vs. Stan Wawrinka Stan Wawrinka may say that he is not in Andy Murray’s class. He has fewer Masters 1000 titles and fewer Grand Slam final round appearances. However, Wawrinka, like Murray, has 2 Grand Slam singles titles, an olympic gold medal (Stan’s is in doubles…
French Open 2016: Garbine Muguruza vs. Samantha Stosur Semifinal Prediction
Garbine Muguruza vs. Samantha Stosur This match should feature some big shots. Will the winner be who can play better defense or who can keep from being put on the defensive? Many of us got our first look at Muguruza’s power when she upset defending champion Serena Williams at Roland Garros 2014. Since then she…

French Open 2016: June 2nd Men’s Quarterfinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD I don’t think this match will be as close as their 2015 Monte Carlo tilt [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [7] Tomas Berdych (CZE) – Novak Djokovic will have to play 4 consecutive days prior to getting a day off if he reaches the championship match. This is day 3 of this run. I…
French Open 2016: June 2nd Women’s Quarterfinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs. Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) – I am not saying this match is a foregone conclusion, but Serena likely would have accepted facing an unseeded player in the quarterfinal if offered that deal prior to the event. I like Serena to win 6-3, 6-2. Is this where we are…
French Open 2016: June 1st Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD I love this scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (also I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining) [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [14] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) – To Finish 3-6 6-4 4-1 – Novak should gut this one out in 4 sets. [2] Andy Murray (GBR) vs [9]…

Predicted Winners in BOLD I’ve been very happy the last 2 days* [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs. [18] Elina Svitolina (UKR) – This should be a tough match for the world #1 and defending champion. I think Serena wins, but I’d give Svitolina a 30% chance at springing the upset. [21] Samantha Stosur (AUS) vs….
French Open 2016: May 30th Men’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD This is a Fun Slate of Matches David Goffin (BEL) [12] vs. Ernests Gulbis (LAT) – Gulbis keeps advancing despite my picking against him in every round. Well, he is not getting my nod vs. Goffin. The Belgian played some awesome tennis in Miami and then stumbled a bit in his transition to…
