Tipsarevic vs Nalbandian - I don't know why they keep doing this shit to David :mad: but I hope he gets revenge.

Tomic vs Nishikori - I hope Nishikori wipes the floor with Tomug and he smashes a racquet after he loses again.

Tsonga vs Bellucci - I'm hoping for Bellucci to take the first set and have a hilarious choke :D

stan the van man vs Mighty Muzzah

rochus to take out the trash

I was thinking actually of that Monaco-Goffin match.
 
#12 ·
given Nishikori's current form that one more likely to be among the worst 1st round matches rather the the best ones.
 
#23 ·
Tomic - Nishi.

This is like the 5th time we've seen Tipsarevic-Nalbandian this year.
I'd rather see Ungur-Muller, at this point.
My thoughts exactly but I still rank it as one of the most interesting.

Coupled with Wawa - Muzza, these should be the top3 matches, no doubt.

I think Wawa vs Murray depending on how Wawa plays.
 
#19 ·
I wish Nishikori was playing better because I'd love for him to shut Tomic up.

Of course Wawrinka/Murray is the marque match but I voted Tipsarevic-Nalbandian. Best 2-of-3 keeps fitness out of it and time has passed since The Kick so I could see Nalby pulling the upset.

Some interesting ones:

Nalbandian vs Tipsarevic

Tomic vs Nishikori

Wawrinka vs Murray

Del Potro vs Dodig

Tsonga - Bellucci for me.

I've watched several Muzza-Waw matches and it's not an exciting prospect for me. Nalbandian - Tipsy will be a choking nightmare imo and Tipsy will take it with some 20 UEs less. (there won't be line judges due to the security measures, only hawk eye).

The exciting for me matches except my favorit above are -

Dimitrov - Kubot (will be much tougher than their recent encounter)
Tomic - Nishikori (bamos Nishi)
Dodig - Del Pony
Cilic - Melzer

This is my personal top 5 and i expect Tsonga, Dimitrov, Nishikori, Dodig (not a fan but feels like a perfect set up for drama) and Melzer to make it.

It's never a bad day when such a spectacle materializes.
