RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Pssssst. Wanna know who’s going to win that big first-round matchup between No. 1 Novak Djokovic and 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics?

If you believe the draw sheet posted online by the International Tennis Federation , the victor of that match scheduled for Sunday is already known, days ahead of time – and it’s del Potro.

There’s more such info at that site as of Thursday night: 14-time major champion Rafael Nadal apparently is going to lose to Federico Delbonis in a real stunner. Andy Murray is going to improve to 8-0 against Viktor Troicki by beating him in Brazil.

And so on.

It’s almost as if the ITF can see the future.
