Madrid 2016: May 4th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [15] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs. Feliciano Lopez (ESP) H2H – I like RBA here due to the surface. [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Borna Coric (CRO) H2H – I think Novak wins pretty easily here. [7] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) H2H – Tsonga played well in Monte Carlo so he…
Madrid 2016: May 4th WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD This is a nice slate of matches [6] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. [10] Timea Bacsinszky (SUI) – I am torn on this one. If Simona is on the road back, she likely wins. I need to see it to believe it though. [8] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) vs. Samantha Stosur (AUS) –…
Madrid 2016: May 3rd ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS) H2H – This match could have some fun points and games, but Rafa should win in straight sets. [2] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. [Q] Radek Stepanek (CZE) – Mercifully, the Worm will likely be gone. [15] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs. [Q] Santiago Giraldo (COL)…
Madrid 2016: May 3rd WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [6] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. Karin Knapp (ITA) – Knapp is a solid player, but Halep should win. Will she is the big question? [8] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) vs. Sabine Lisicki (GER) – On other surfaces, I’d likely pick Lisicki. [WC] Sorana Cirstea (ROU) vs. Danka Kovinic (MNE) – A…
Madrid 2016: May 2nd ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Leonardo Mayer (ARG) H2H – Should be a fun 50-50 type match. If Mayer is returning well, my pick will look silly. [9] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) H2H – GGL in an upset. Ferrer may come to life this week, but 2016 has not been his…
Madrid 2016: May 2nd WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs. [Q] Elena Vesnina (RUS) – I would not be shocked to see an upset here. Nothing Petra does surprises me these days. She may dust the field or be bested by an unknown. Vesnina is a solid player and could very well send the defending champion…
Monte Carlo 2016: Nadal vs. Monfils Championship Prediction
Rafael Nadal vs. Gael Monfils Gael Monfils was not the expected finalist, but his play at Masters Miami was excellent so he is in a nice spot in terms of playing strong tennis on two different surfaces. Monfils also made a quarterfinal appearance in Melbourne and was a runner-up in Rotterdam earlier this year. Monfils…
Monte Carlo 2016: April 11th Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Alexander Zverev (GER) vs. [WC] Andrey Rublev (RUS) H2H – This should be fun, but Zverev is very solid. [13] Gael Monfils (FRA) vs. Gilles Muller (LUX) H2H – Again this should be fun, but Gael should win if he plays along the lines of how he played in Miami. [9] Richard Gasquet…
Miami 2016: Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori Championship Prediction
Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori It is a testament to how dominant Novak is that I was wondering what do I even write. Kei Nishikori has an excellent return of serve, moves well, can impose his court positioning on his opponent, and can hit with a lot of pace/precision. Of course, Kei has a chance,…
