Good tournament in Rome. I am looking forward to QF matches. My predictions for today:
Nadal (1) - Fognini - I am expecting Fognini to put up a good fight today. Will play some kh on him. Fognini has been a tough nut for Nadal to crack several times already on clay.
Carreno-Busta (10) - Cilic (4) - I am going with Cilic win here
Nishikori - Djokovic (11) - This is the one I will probably not bet on, but I am thinking Nisihkori is closer to SF then Djoko
Goffin (9) - Zverev (2) - I am going with Zverev here, he is just playing very solid tennis at the moment and I believe his opponents will have to do something special to get him out of tournament.

All your predictions came true and it was a good choice not to bet on the Nishikori match as he lost against Djokovic.
He will be playing Rafael Nadal in the semis but his form is not like he was when he was winning tournaments.
I don't know what it is when I am watching him play now but that fire to win is not there anymore and just hopes for those big shots to land in the court when he makes them to win a game. Undecided

Yeah ever since Djokovic got injured and got back, he is not the same as he used to be.
Nice semi finals that we will see, I think Nadal will win against Djokovic. Zverev - Cilic is a tough match to predict, but I think Zverev (giving his form) is the slight favorite to win the match.

It’s such a humiliating defeat for Djokovic and I can say that even though the outcome of the game was to be expected,I didn’t expect Djokovic to lose in straight sets the way he did.

Looks like Djokovic was drained in the first set and nothing to offer on the second that's why Nadal take exploited the situation and Djokovic never recover after that.

So its going to be Nadal vs Zverev after all, as he defeated Čilić. This will be a preview I guess, the young and hungry vs the experienced and veteran Nadal. Zverev is really showing us good tennis this year but knowing Nadal, I don't think that he will give a inch to the young Alexander. I wouldn't be surprise in Zverev win, but I bet my Nadal will not let this one slip away.

Just because i am a Roger Federer fan, Ido hope that Zverev is going to shock the world of tennis once again by beating Nadal in the finals tomorrow.

Zverev drops a set this time, but he was able to win the match, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. He now advance to the semis. Previously, he won 23 sets without dropping a set, but he struggles against Goffin. He made some unbelievable shots. So it looks like he is going to just overrun Goffin without the first set, however, the complexion of the game changes, but he was broken on the second set and Goffin took advantage of it. The same story goes on the 3rd set, however, Zverev, was able to maintained his focus on the game and didn't gave any chance to Goffin after a tie score of 3-3. Goffin did really good though, he made Zrevev earn for every point and this win.

Alexander Zverev just beat Edmund in a long second set. It took him 75 minutes in the set to dispose of him for the tournament in Rome. But he still is doing it in straight sets which is unbelieve to be doing on the circuit.
This is showcasing what to expect come when Roland Garros resumes again this year.
Del porto retired and might not show up for that tournament come near the end of the month due to a groin pull he suffer going against Goffin in this mornings match.

Meanwhile both Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovich advanced to the Quarter Finals where they are going to face Fognini and Nishikori respectively. Zverev will face Goffin in the quarterfinals.

This tournament is looking to be the best lead up tournament to the French Open so far with most of the top players going through to the quarter finals. This is where we will see which players are ready for the French Open, Zverev V Goffin will be an interesting match to see if Zverev can continue his good form up against a pretty good player. I'm also interested to see how Djokovich goes to see if his fitness is getting better because if he is fully fit for the French Open then I think he can go a long way to winning it. Right now its hard to pick a winner for the Open as there does seem to be a few contenders this year to challenge Nadal which is great.

It's going to be interesting to see Zverev vs Goffin as we all know that Zverev is no push-over. Looks like the young Zverev is really peaking up leading to the French Open. As for Joker, yes he's getting better but I really think that it is more of a mental thingy for him. He needs more good wins so that he can boost his confidence. So it's more exciting that there will be a lot of good names to challenge Rafa this year, gonna be exciting to watch.

Nice win of Zverev! Nadal will have some competition this year to win Roland Garros, but he is still the big favorite. I am curious to see what the odds will be for Nadal, probably not that high Grin

.

Yeah there is no doubt that Nadal will be odds on favourite for the French Open but it could be worth a shot on a couple of the other guys Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem as they are in fine form leading into the Open. Not sure if Djokovic will be 100% but if he can be around 90% fit and healthy then he could also go a long way to making the finals. I'm thinking Nadal will be around the $2 mark to win.

Dominator is a good nick, suits to Thiem, but he faced a real terminator at the finales. I still can not understand how this young man( Zverev) can hit the ball so hard and so strong almost entire match, it is pretty amazing. Only thing that he need to fix is constantity, but I think that it will come with years. Fantastic week for him...
Elimination is a good thing for Rafa. He is not young anymore and it is hard to win 4,5 big tournaments in a row even for King of clay. He had few more days for recovery and that means a lot for his ambition to take another slam title in Paris. By my opinion, he is number one and number two favorite for winning Roland Garros at this moment.
Djokovic played fantastic match against Dolgopolov but we can not extract nothing from that duel, Dolgopolov was injured and is away from his best tennis, something that we can not say for Edmund. British is playing really good tennis and to beat him player need to play physically high level performance and Djoko isn`t there yet. Some of the next matches will show where Novak is right now but still, I do not believe that he can attack the title on the Grand Slam to come.

Zverev kind of reminds me of a young Nadal as he was and still is a hard hitter of the ball and can sustain it through out the matches so it doesn't surprise me at all that Zverev can do this. This is one reason why I give him a high chance at winning this years French Open as he can match it with Nadal but like you said he does need to work on being more consistent. I'm really thinking of putting some BTC on Zverev to win the French Open if the odds are good.

With Thiem defeating him in SF in Madrid, and Zverev winning the trophy, I think the odds will not be that high because he has competition now.

Dominic 'The Dominator" Thiem, Lol. I like it though. We have seen how Zverev evolved though, he is really a good player and almost every tennis fans knows that he has a good future as shown in the last tournament. But I agree, he needs to be consistent, but it take years to master that. Rafa's body is giving signs that he needs to take a break because he can't take it anymore. 2016 is when we see the young lions trying to proved themselves, but in 2017 the likes of Nadal and Federer came back, however it looks like this veterans really can't sustain themselves. So its either to take some break (just like Roger did), otherwise they will be injured in the long run (in the case of Rafa).

Zverev was very agressive in the game and he showed no signs of stopping at all. Though Nadal may be the favorite in the French Open, I believe the likes of Thiem and Zverev are going to prove very problematic for the Spaniard.
