Predicted Winner in BOLD
Third Round
Juan Martin del Potro (7) vs. Bjorn Phau - Delpo should win in a straightforward match.
Sam Querrey (23) vs. Marinko Matosevic - USTA, “Help us Sam Querrey. You’re our only hope.”
Andy Murray (3) vs. Yen-Hsun Lu - Murray wins
Kei Nishikori (16) vs. Carlos Berlocq - On paper, Nishikori should win, but I think Berlocq’s Latin American clay court run has him match tough.
Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Grigor Dimitrov (31) – Nole in 2, but this match is worth the price of admission.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (8) vs. Mardy Fish (32) – Will Tsonga take out Blake and Fish?
Nicolas Almagro (11) vs. Tommy Haas (19) – Almagro should win based on his 2013 Australian Open run, but I think Haas will advance due to a friendly crowd and surface for his game.
Marin Cilic (12) vs. Milos Raonic (17) – This is the most interesting match of the day. The Croatian versus the Canadian with Serbian roots. One is reclaiming lost momentum in his career. The other is trying to move into another tier. I think Raonic will win because he does have a top 5 serve even if the rest of his game is a work in progress.
