Miami Day 1 Preview

sonyericcsonopen Miami Day 1 Preview

It’s round two of the Masters series, which comes in quick sucession from Indian Wells. We barely have had to time to catch our breath and analyse the happenings over in California. Nevertheless Miami has arrived and I’m sure will bring about stories all of it’s own.  I didn’t do great in the last bracket challenge so I will refrain for now from making any outright predictions of a winner, so for now we’ll just have to make do with my daily predicitions.  I’ll make some more comments as the tournament progresses.

[WC] M Ancic (CRO) vs J Chardy (FRA) Winner: Ancic
[WC] D Nalbandian (ARG) vs L Kubot (POL) Winner: Nalbandian
[WC] F Krajinovic (SRB) vs J Blake (USA) Winner: Blake
E Schwank (ARG) vs M Gicquel (FRA) Winner: Gicquel
M Llodra (FRA) vs [WC] R Harrison (USA) Winner: Llodra
O Rochus (BEL) vs R Gasquet (FRA) Winner: Gasquet
T Dent (USA) vs [Q] R Schuettler (GER) Winner: Dent
[Q] D Istomin (UZB) vs M Russell (USA) Winner: Istomin
A Clement (FRA) vs G Garcia-Lopez (ESP) Garcia-Lopez
I Andreev (RUS) vs [Q] X Malisse (BEL) Winner: Andreev
D Koellerer (AUT) vs C Rochus (BEL) Winner: Koellerer
M Chiudinelli (SUI) vs F Mayer (GER) Winner: Mayer
S Greul (GER) vs B Becker (GER) Winner: Greul
P Mathieu (FRA) vs [Q] I Marchenko (UKR) Winner: Mathieu
J Hajek (CZE) vs S Stakhovsky (UKR) Winner: Stakhovsky
[Q] A Golubev (KAZ) vs D Gimeno-Traver (ESP) Winner: Golubev

In my humble opinion, there isn’t a lot there that will get the crowd excited to be honest, but keep an eye out for upsets fromIlya Marchenko and Lukasz Kubot.
