Isner has a good game for the surface, for sure. Doubt he'll be there at the end, but it's certainly possible. I think you may be right about Novak. I hope someone like Raonic has a breakout tournament, though.
I like Kvitova will repeat on the women's side, which would be just fine with me.

I watched Borg blast a forehand past Mac's approach that rivaled the bombers of today. How is that possible with the badminton raquets they played with back then? He hit it on the sweet spot every time. I marveled at it. Mac's touch at the net was a sight to behold, as well.

Guess who those two will face if they each win their first match.

The draw was not kind to Ryan Harrison. Djoker in the second round.

Venus better be on her game coming out of the gate. Vesnina first round, potentially
Aggie Radwanska second. Not good.

Serena gets Kvitova first round. Her part of the draw is brutal.
