I predict sixth-seed Tomas Berdych will bow out in the second round, while 27th seed David Nalbandian and 28th seed Richard Gasquet will reach the quarterfinals, but who do I have going all the way? Read my 127 match predictions and find out. 

 

FIRST ROUND

 

Rafael Nadal (1) def. Marcos Daniel

Bernard Tomic def. Jeremy Chardy

Tomic has never lost in the first round at his home country's Grand Slam, winning a match each of the past two years.

 

Feliciano Lopez (31) def. Alejandro Falla

John Isner (20) def. Florent Serra

Isner beat Serra in straight sets on the hard courts of San Jose three years ago.

 

Radek Stepanek def. Denis Gremelmayr

Stepanek has alternated third and first-round finishes over the past four years, and he's due to reach the Round of 32 in 2011.

 

Santiago Giraldo def. Rui Machado

Machado has never played this event, while Giraldo's only victory in a major came at last year's Australian.

 

Marin Cilic (15) def. Donald Young


Cilic reached the semi-finals here in 2010.

 

Mikhail Youzhny (10) def. Marsel Ilhan

Youzhny ousted Ilhan in straight sets from last year's hard court tour...
