Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Marton Fucsovics (SRB) – Djokovic has won the 2 most recent Wimbledon titles, is 18-0 in 2021 majors to this point, and is ranked #1 in the world. I am going to pick him to win this and any other match he plays in this event. [6] Roger…

French Open 2021: Men’s Singles Final Prediction – Djokovic vs. Tsitsipas
I pretty much agree with both my tweet (shocking!) and with Howard Bryant. On Friday, I told someone, “If Tsitsipas serves well, hits spots that set him up well. He has a 40-45% chance of winning. If he doesn’t serve well, I think he has less than a 10% chance of winning.” I would add…
French Open 2021: The 58th Meeting between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal – Prediction
How often does the world #1 get to enter a match with many people thinking he has no chance to win? If he loses in 3 or 4 sets, no one is going to think much of it because it is Rafa in Rafa’s house.
French Open 2021: Tsitsipas vs. Zverev Prediction
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Alexander Zverev This match brings the 2020 US Open runner-up into contact with a man who has reached his 3rd consecutive major semifinal. Neither, will be favored in the final, but both players are formidable. Both also played well in the tune-up season with Tsitsipas grabbing a Monte Carlo title and Barcelona…
French Open 2021: June 6th Women’s and Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe CHATRIER (Noon start) [15] Victoria AZARENKA (BLR) vs [31] Anastasia PAVLYUCHENKOVA (RUS) – Vika has played some of her best clay court tennis in 2021. If that trend continues, Vika should win. [5] Stefanos TSITSIPAS (GRE) vs [12] Pablo CARRENO BUSTA (ESP) – Tsitsipas put together a great clay court season heading into the French Open. This…
Roland Garros 2021: May 31st Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe CHATRIER [2] Daniil MEDVEDEV (RUS) vs Alexander BUBLIK (KAZ) – I don’t think the #2 seed will last long at Roland Garros. It might be a stretch to have him winning this match. Clay is not his thing (yet if ever). [8] Roger FEDERER (SUI) vs Denis ISTOMIN (UZB) – This feels…
Roland Garros 2021: May 31st Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe CHATRIER [8] Iga SWIATEK (POL) vs Kaja JUVAN (SLO) – Swiatek’s forehand is one of the best things in tennis. She could make a strong run at repeating as champion. [7] Serena WILLIAMS (USA) vs Irina-Camelia BEGU (ROU) – I like Serena draw in general, but this is a pretty rough first…
Roland Garros 2021: May 30th Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD COURT PHILIPPE-CHATRIER (11 a.m. start – 5 a.m. EDT) [2] Naomi OSAKA (JPN) vs. Patricia Maria TIG (ROU) – I don’t think Osaka makes it to week two, but she should win a round or two. [15] Victoria AZARENKA (BLR) vs. Svetlana KUZNETSOVA (RUS) – Two major winners facing off in the 1st round should…
Roland Garros 2021: May 30th Men’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD COURT PHILIPPE-CHATRIER [4] Dominic THIEM (AUT) vs. Pablo ANDUJAR (ESP) – Andujar beat Federer in Geneva and is a a rugged veteran. Still, Thiem should overcome his struggles and win in 3 or 4 sets unless his dip is a really deep dip. [5] Stefanos TSITSIPAS (GRE) vs. Jérémy Chardy (FRA) – Tsitsipas…
Miami Open 2021: Andreescu vs. Barty Championship Prediction
I am firmly of the opinion that Naomi Osaka is the number 1 player in the world regardless of what the WTA computer says. Her title runs at the 2020 US Open and 2021 Australian Open are both more recent than Ash Barty’s 2019 French Open title or Bianca Andreescu’s 2019 US Open title for…
