LAST 16 MATCHES MENS

SUNDAY

Czech player Tomas Berdych needed 5 sets to defeat Spaniard Bautista-Agut . The first set won by Bautista-Agut 6-4 followed by another tight set won 6-4 by Berdych. Berdych then won the third set 6-3 before the only set won where you could say a player was in control as Bautista-Agut won 6-1. The final set was won in a close set where Berdych took control to win 6-3.  

Roger Federer the Swiss legend cruised to a 3 sets to 0 win over David Goffin of Belgium late in the night. There wasn’t a sign of Goffin until the third set where he showed that he was there but Federer was still too strong as he won 6-4.

Japanese player Kei Nishikori showed that he had the class to beat Frenchman Jo Wilfred Tsonga in straight sets. In the Seccond Nishikori showed that he was on a different level but in first and third he showed that he could win hard sets.

Serb Novac Djockovic showed why he would be considered the best tennis player in the world with an epic win over Giles Simon from France. Djockovic won the first 6-3 and then lost the second in a tie break. The third was won by Djockovic but Simon came back to win the fourth. The fifth was a close one also and this is the type of match that would help Djockovic going forward.

MONDAY

Andy Murray cruised to a 3-0 win over Frenchman Bernard Tomic all 3 sets were compeditive but Murray had to win the match in a tie break.

Spaniard David Ferrer cruised to a 3-0 win over American John Isner all 3 sets were competitive as Ferrer won the first 2 sets 6-4 and the third set 7-5

Milos Ranoc from Canadea needed 5 sets to defeat Stan Wavwenka from Switzerland. The first 2 sets went with Ranoc before Wavwenka came back in the third and fouyth which were both close sets. The fifth was won confortably enough by Ranoc  

Gail Monfils defeated the only unseeded player left in the draw Kuznetsov from Russia the first 2 sets were shared before Monfils won 2 competitive sets the match won on a tie break.

QUARTER FINAL MY PREDICTIONS

I think Djockovic will beat Nishikori but drop a set. I would love to see Nishikori win

Federer will beat Berdych in 5 sets. I want Federrer to win

Murray to beat Ferrer in 4. I want Murray to win

Ranos to beat Monfils in 4 but I am not confident on it. I would love Monfils to win as he is such a low seed
