2012 Indian Wells Projections: Round of 16

As big days in men’s tennis go, Super Wednesday at Indian Wells is right up there.  Six of the top ten are in action, along with ten other guys, some of whom belong here.  According to my simulations, it is increasingly Novak Djokovic’s tournament to win.  At the very least, it’s Novak’s quarterfinal to reach.

  1. Hello,

    I’m wondering if you have done (I imagine you have… 😉 ) an evaluation of your prediction by comparing your prediction with the results of a tournament, for sure, there are always upsets that are quite difficult to predict… but it might be interesting to see how accurate is the prediction of the results where probability of winning was big for both players…
