Haven't started watching yet.
Predictions:
Women's Draw:
Halep's Quarter:
This is loaded.
Halep vs. Kvitova 3rd round: I'll take Kvitova in 2, but who knows.
Pliskova vs. Safarova 3rd round: Pliskova in 2.
Kvitova vs. Pliskova QF: Kvitova
Muguruza's Quarter:
Kerber vs. Muguruza 4th round: Muguruza has been the better player over the past year. But I think Kerber regains her form.
Kerber to the SF.
Svitolina's Quarter:
Venus has a tough first round match. Stephens has played well here before in 2014, so I'll pick her to get out of the QF.
Wozniacki's Quarter:
I think Wozniacki can make it out.
Kvitova vs. Kerber SF: Kvitova in 3.
Stephens vs. Wozniacki SF: Big match. Can Wozniacki make her move? I'll say yes, in 2.
Kvitova vs. Wozniacki Finals: Wozniacki has struggled more than she used to against big servers. I don't trust her yet.
Kvitova in 3.
Men's Draw:
Nadal's Quarter:
Isner vs. Nadal 4th round: I always hope for the best for Isner. I am not as optimistic that this can be a good match, right now.
Nadal in 3.
Nadal vs. Cilic QF: This matchup has rarely been competitive. Nadal in 3.
Dmitrov's Quarter:
Sock vs. Anderson 4th round: Anderson had a great USO. I haven't seen enough of that from him in his career.
Sock in 4.
Sock vs. Dmitrov QF: While his results are inconsistent, I trust Sock's style more. Sock in 5.
Alexander Zverev's Quarter:
Misha Zverev vs. Alexander Zverev 3rd round: Rooting for Misha. I think Alexander takes it in 4.
Alexander Zverev vs. Djokovic 4th round: Djokovic in 3.
Wawrinka vs. Djokovic QF: Two players playing after long absences.
Djokovic hasn't lost 2 AOs since 2009 and 2010.
Tough to go against Djokovic. But what the heck. Wawrinka in 4.
Federer's Quarter:
Raonic vs. Querrey 3rd round: Got to go with Querrey after last year. Querrey in 3.
Querrey vs. FED 4th round: Querrey can win this in 3. I think FED pulls it out in 5.
Del Potro vs. FED QF: Del Potro is capable of beating FED any time.
FED just seems to have more endurance. FED in 4.
Nadal vs. Sock SF: Nadal usually does well against players like Sock. Nadal in 3.
Wawrinka vs. FED SF: I don't know. FED usually wins, but Wawrinka is due for another win.
I'll say FED in 4, but nothing would surprise me.
Nadal vs. FED Finals: Can FED beat Nadal again? He did do well last year.
My instincts say FED will lose. But why not. I have to use last year's positive results.
FED in 4.
