Qatar Open: Fearless Forecast Semi-final Match-ups




Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are on a possible collision course very early this year but they will have to deal first with their quarterfinal opponents.  Here is my fearless forecast for the semi-finals today:

1st Semis:  Rafael Nadal (ESP) (#1) vs. Nikolay Davydenko (RUS) (#22)

Nadal will have a fight on his hands against Ernests Gulbis, but he should prevail in 3.  Davydenko will have to contend with Karlovic's serves but should win in 3.

2nd Semis:  Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) (#13) vs. Roger Federer (SUI) (#2)

Tsonga should easily win his QF match over Garcia-Lopez in 2, while Federer faces a tricky opponent in Troicki.  But he should win in 2 also.
