ChiChi’s Preview & Prediction for Dolgopolov v. Murray
Murray over Dolgopolov- Dolgopolov reminded me of a mini Murray in his match against Soderling. Changing paces, being consistent, hitting some big serves, baiting his opponent to miss and teeing off on the occaisional shot. It was a masterful performance. Now he’s going to have to do it again. In my opinion Dolgo has as [...]

Andy is due for a blowup. Many times we have seen Murray inexplicably have a terrible match smack dab in the middle of the tournament, even after a slew of brilliant matches. Jurgen Melzer is the level of player that can pull it off, and almost did 2 years ago at the USOpen losing in [...]

ChiChi’s Preview & Predictions Isner v. Cilic
Isner over Cilic- I’ll go with Isner here. He has the better serve and can definitely compete with Cilic off the ground. Surprisingly these guys haven’t played before so I expect the first set to go to a tiebreaker because it will be a feeling out process. I like Isner in tiebreakers because of his [...]
ChiChi’s Preview & Prediction Murray v. Garcia-lopez
Murray over Garcia-Lopez- Guillermo Garcia-Lopez is a tough Spanish player who is enjoying the medium slow speed of these hard courts in Australia.
