Dustin Brown vs Ivo Karlovic
Both players prefer old fashioned serve and volley style of play and both prefer grass to any other surface . The grass in Newport is extremely fast and we saw a lot of bad bounces so far during the week and the players really struggled on return .

Dustin Brown vs Ivo Karlovic
I do think Brown is serving well enough to protect his own serving game and of course Karlovic most likely also won't lose his service game, so i'm almost sure we can expect a tiebreak in the 1st set.

Jack Sock vs Ivo Karlovic
The tournament is a clay court surface which will favour Jack Sock. He possesses a booming serve which makes up for his lack of movement and poor ground strokes. He has a very average record on clay, because its a slow heavy surface which allows players like Jack Sock today to return serve. Jack Sock should win majority of the rallies and also has the home court advantage with the American crowd on his side.

ATP NEWPORT 250 Semifinals
Sock - Karlovic Both players are playing in good form and they both have a massive serve as their prime weapon. So, this will be a serve-fest match with a very small number of chances for both of player. Prediction: At least one tiebreak in a match
Ram - Smith Two underdogs playing for a spot in a finals. Ram beated first seed Isner, while Smith defeated his countryman Tomic on his route to the semifinals. I also expect a tough match with a big serving Prediction: Match in 3 sets (And Ram to win)

Marco Cecchinato vs Albert Ramos
over 22.00 games
Ramos has more experience in the sport but Cecchinato,although younger has proven a worthy opponent against any top player.This will be an entertaining semi and both players will try their best to get to the finals.

Marco Cecchinato - Albert Ramos Tip: Over 21,5 games Consistent play at this level are paid Italian, who won in the quarterfinals their "demons" in the match against Volandri. Ramos was on his way to the semifinals lost only one service is not offered a chance to any opponent.

Mate Delic - Aljaz Bedene Tip: Bedene to win Delic is in desperate shape. Croat last year left a great impression in the defeat against eventual winner Cuevas. However, this season was disastrous. It has a score of 5-17 and comes in Umag with five losses in a row.

Fabio Fognini vs Jiri Vesely
1
Fognini can be a nutcase but more often than not he turns up for these clay tournaments . He already defeated Vesely this year in a similar clay court event and I expect nothing different today .
