Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Alexander Zverev (GER) vs. Thomas Fabbiano (ITA) – The big man is seeded 4th and capable of hammering his way to a title. Someone has to step up at some point from the younger tiers of players. Zverev is as good of a pick as any among the younger players at…

Australian Open 2017: Roger Federer vs. Stan Wawrinka Semifinal Prediction
ROD LAVER ARENA [4] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs [17] Roger Federer (SUI) Stan Wawrinka ended 2016 with a bit of a wobble after winning the US Open in September. Roger Federer missed the final 6 months of the 2016 season. I did not expect either man to be in the semifinal, but I am only mildly surprised…

Australian Open 2017: January 17th Men’s Predictions
The 6-time champion is in action Predicted Winners in BOLD ROD LAVER ARENA [9] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Florian Mayer (GER) – This is not an ideal draw for Rafa, but I think he can grind Mayer down if this develops into a 4 or 5 set match. [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Fernando Verdasco…
China Open 2016: WTA Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD (11) Johanna Konta VS (8) Madison Keys – I am bullish on Keys in 2017. She has pushed a lot of the top players hard in 2016 and has taken some painful but potentially character building losses along the way. Still, Konta is on the cusp of the top 10 and has a wave…
Sydney 2016 Championship Prediction: Dimitrov vs. Troicki
Grigor Dimitrov vs. Viktor Troicki This should be a fun match, and it is nice to see both players making the late round of a tournament. I think Dimitrov is busy trying to rebuild his reputation on tour and recapture some of his potential. I think playing 2 consecutive weeks prior to the Australian Open…

[3] Tomas Berdych…
Indian Wells Predictions March 9, 2014
Predicted Winners in BOLD Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) v [4] Tomas Berdych (CZE) – Agut had a great Australian Open run. Berdych is playing very solid tennis at the moment. This is not a great draw for either man, but I think form holds as Berdych wins in 2 close sets. [6] Juan Martin Del Potro (ARG) v Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – If JMDP’s wrist holds…
