5)Lukasz Kubot vs Adrian Mannarino
Head to Head: First meeting
The Pole is in a familiar situation, having reached the fourth round at slams earlier. This could well be his breakthrough moment. He has rolled through his matches with two straight set wins and a walkover. His French opponent, Adrian Mannarino, has progressed beyond the second round at a slam for the first time. His earlier matches have been similar to that of his opponent. Given the stage and the pressure, the inexperienced Mannarino could falter.

Prediction: Kubot in straight sets
6)Jerzy Janowicz vs Julian Melzer
Head to Head: First meeting
Here is another young talent vying for a quarter final spot. Hindering his progress is an experienced veteran- Jurgen Melzer. The former no.8 scored a good win over Fabio Fognini and exhibited his form and class further in the dismissal of Federer’s conqueror- Sergiy Stakhovsky
His opponent, the second pole in the fourth round, defeated former top ten player Nicolas Almagro in convincing fashion. His opponent on Monday would surely pose a stiffer challenge.
Prediction: Melzer in five sets
7)Fernando Verdasco vs Kenny de Schepper
Head to Head: First meeting
Spaniard Verdasco has shown good form so far with wins over Xavier Malisse, Julien Benneteau and Ernest Gulbis. He was very good in his match against the Latvian in the previous round, winning it in straight sets. The Frenchman has also had a good run, but against less worthy opponents.
Monday’s encounter between the two will prove to be a chance for the Spaniard to regain his lost glory
Prediction: Verdasco in straight sets
8)Mikhail Youzhny vs Andy Murray
Head to Head: 2-0 in favour of Murray
Will we see the Russian saluting the crowd his usual way after Monday’s clash against the world no. 2? Perhaps not. The Russian ,a quarter finalist from last year, has had good wins so far. Murray has been ruthless with his opponents, packing them off in straight sets.
This will be the duo’s first meeting on grass and the defending finalist is all ready to blitz past his opponent.
Prediction: Murray in straight sets
