The 4th Round matches are set, and the business end of the tournament begins now. Gives us your take and your predictions:

- Djokovic vs. Muller
- Raonic vs. Lopez
- Wawrinka vs. Garcia Lopez
- Ferrer vs. Nishikori
- Berdych vs. Tomic
- Nadal vs. Anderson
- Murray vs. Dimitrov
- Kyrgios vs. Seppi

I must say, I have mixed feelings about the matches. Roger's elimination hurts, whether we want to admit it or not, as he against Kyrgios would have been a ton of fun. Raonic vs. Lopez doesn't interest me at all stylistically, and Djokovic's match should be straightforward.

That said, anything Nadal takes part in is worth watching right now given his patchy form, and Murray vs. Dimitrov is straight up mouthwatering. I am really looking forward to that one. I'm also quite interested in Berdych/Tomic, and Ferrer/Kei is a weirdly engaging battle between two guys with somewhat similar styles.

Predictions:

Djokovic, Raonic, Wawrinka, Ferrer (my upset pick), Berdych, Nadal, Murray, Seppi (I have no idea about this one to be honest, so I just flipped a coin).

Top of the draw should stay on course, but the bottom is going to be wild.

Some matches look straightforward while some look mouth watering. The best one promises to be Murray Dimitrov. This will be the match of the round and will be a lot of fun. I think Dimitrov takes it

Many big servers among the last 16. You can tell they speeded up the surface.

I see a lot of folks are not showing much :heart: towards FeLi over Raonic . I predicted he would prevail over JJ and I have a feeling he will defeat the big Canadian

That's the one I'm least certain of, but I picked him to beat Janowicz, so I'm sticking with him. Plus, he saved MPs in his first and second round matches. The guy is driven, and has nothing to lose. He survived JJ, another huge server, and his lefty serve and volleying could drive Raonic nuts.

You gotta believe....agree he is driven...but I am wondering at 33 has he hit the wall. Those were not easy matches.

Also can he make Milos pass him on the back hand for 3 sets.
