World Tour Finals 2015: Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych Prediction
Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych Roger Federer won Basel, but his other two tournaments after the US Open were less than stellar.

Predicted Winners in BOLD “We’re not playing at Halle? Doesn’t seem right.” Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) [29] vs. Roger Federer (SUI) [2] – These two should put on a fun match, but Roger likely has too much heft for Kohlschreiber to win 3 sets.
