Australian Open Preview Part 2 – Men’s Singles

Well, with a few early missteps, Tennis Bubble correctly predicted 11/16 round of 16 participants. Damn you, JP Smith and the young canadiens. Seriously, who would have thought that Shapovalov would LOSE HIS SHIT in a first round. Frankly, the ATP Cup most likely wore Shapo and Felix down as they continue to carry the weight of their country on their shoulders…. but what a nice resurgence from Milos Raonic.

As for the rest of the tournament, here are the official TB predictions

Rd. Of 16

Kyrgios D. Nadal

UPSET ALERT. Kyrgios will play inspired and outrageous tennis to beat Nadal in 4 sets.

Thiem D. Monfils

Medvedev d. Wawrinka

Rublev d. Zverev

This will be a tight five-set battle that will build even more confidence for Rublev as he goes through the 2020 season.

Fognini d. Sandgren

It’s been a nice run for former college tennis player Tennys Sandgren, but Fognini counters on all of the of Tenny’s strengths. Tennys had some awkward match-ups with big servers that will provide a nice ranking boost.

Federer d. Fucsovicz

Cilic d. Raonic

Djokovic d. Schwartzman
