really just can't fucking wait for dolgopolov/tomic tonight
could be an incredible match, but then again the amount of possible deviance in quality is pretty high from both, so it might just be a beatdown one way or another - although i think this match goes at least 4.
for the lols
djokovic > mahut (obv is obv)
raonic > hewitt (probably goes 4 sets either way, and raonic may not be ready for the occasion. i think he is though)
tipsarevic > gasquet (could be a good match)
ferrer > chela (not sure how chela STILL keeps wandering into the 3rd/4th/qf of majors. props to him for getting the most of his game, ferrer just too good though)
murray > llodra (llodra would have to play out of his mind + hope murray has a bad day and i'm just not seeing it)
kukushkin > monfils (not trusting monfils at all, he probably wins here but i think kukushkin [also a quality player] can pull the upset)
nishikori > benneteau (kei breakthrough time is obv)
tsonga > gil (gil has nothing to threaten jo willy. this should be a straight sets beatdown)
kohlschreiber > falla (this also could be an incredible match, although i doubt it gets any coverage. i expect 5 sets, although i'm sort of playing guesswork on phils form here)
del potro > lu (good to see lu going rounds but just doesn't have enough to hurt jmdp)
dolgopolov > tomic (expecting a LOT of ebb and flow here. could be great, could be lopsided)
federer > karlovic (maybe dr ivo gets a set here, but i really can't see how he can beat roger in a best of 5. probably straights with a tb or 2)
anderson > berdych (think this is a closer matchup than the seeds would indicate. not sure really what to expect though, anderson has been trending up for awhile though and berdych can be shaky at times. the match is probably on berdych racquet tho)
wawrinka > almagro (this is a stupid pick on my part, simply because you should just never trust stan wawrinka. i think he will play well though, especially knowing he has points to defend)
isner > lopez (gotta think there will be at least 2 tiebreaks here, but isners win over fat dave probably did wonders for his confidence)
nadal > lacko (think nadal is just too solid. wouldn't be surprised if lacko can grab a set here, but don't think hes mentally capable of sustaining a high enough level for most of the match)
Really doubt anderson will beat berdych, but the rest is quite plausible

Some are pretty much 50/50 though
