Charlie Nicholas provides us with his predictions for Saturdays World Cup Qualifiers.And after tipping wins for England and Northern Ireland on Friday, Nicholas expects both Wales and Republic of Ireland to record positive results in their pursuit of a place at the 2018 World Cup.Read on to get the views of the Soccer Saturday expert... Wales v Serbia (Saturday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1)Its a big bonus for Wales having Aaron Ramsey back. Anybody could see in the north London derby that his energy levels were great considering his injury problems. Gareth Bale and Wales host Serbia on Saturday Serbia are difficult though. Theyre a strong physical side that are dangerous on the counter-attack. Aleksandar Kolarov is their danger man going forward for me with his set-pieces.However, I think that Wales trio of Gareth Bale, who is in great form, Ramsey and Joe Allen, who is also doing well at Stoke, should see them throughCharlie predicts: 2-1 and Ramsey to score first (50/1 with Sky Bet) Wales vs Serbia November 12, 2016, 7:15pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Austria v Republic of Ireland (Saturday, 5pm, live on Sky Sports 1)This is a tough game, although the thing about Austria is theyre lacking a star name and you can frustrate them.I always feel like Martin ONeill is an attacking manager that looks for weaknesses. The Republic of Ireland are strong defensively as well with Roy Keane instilling the discipline. Martin ONeill and the Republic of Ireland go to Austria A guy who doesnt impress me a lot of the time for his club but is great for his country is James McClean. He is that annoying player that just pops up at the back post and is always there to feed off the scraps.Wes Hoolahan is the one that has the quality though. Hes taken a long time to really be a big part of the Ireland set-up but is delivering on a regular basis now.Charlie predicts: 0-1 and Hoolahan to score (60/1 with Sky Bet) Austria vs Rep Ire November 12, 2016, 4:45pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports passAlso See:No experience necessary!Tyler: Chelsea chasing recordWholesale Custom Nike Baseball Jerseys .

"I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement.Novak Djokovic meets Milos Raonic and Rafael Nadal faces Joao Sousa in Fridays Madrid Open quarter-finals, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.Andy Murray begins the days action from 11am when he takes on Tomas Berdych.The Scot resumes his rivalry against the big-serving Czech and leads the head-to-head 7-6, having only got himself in front with victories on the last three occasions they have met. A note of caution for Murray is that Berdych has won all three of their clay-court encounters, with the world number two taking just one set in those meetings.The last of those encounters on the red dirt came in 2013 and Murray is a very different beast these days. He comes into the match having shaken off the rust following some understandable time off as a new father. Berdych is Murrays quarter-final opponent on Friday After reaching the final of the Australian Open, Murray took almost a month out of the game before returning successfully with two wins in the Davis Cup.Early exits in Indian Wells and Miami followed, but a semi-final run in Monte Carlo and his form here suggest that he is getting back to his best ahead of the French Open later this monthMurray, the defending champion, was in fine form to see off the potentially awkward Gilles Simon in round three, while Berdych was equally impressive in beating David Ferrer in straight sets. Highlights of Gilles Simon v Andy Murray from the third round of the Madrid Open. Mutua Madrid Open - Quarter Final draw Top Half Novak Djokovic (1) v Milos Raonic (11) Nick Kyrgios v Kei Nishikori (6) Bottom Half Rafa Nadal (5) v Joao Sousa Tomas Berdych (8) v Andy Murray (1) Rafa Nadal is aiming for a third successive tournament victory, having won in Monte Carlo and Barcelona. He is currently on a 12-game winning streak - Sam Querrey his latest victim - and is demonstrating that talk of his demise is premature.That run is unlikely to come to a halt against Portugals Joao Sousa, who has done well to reach a first-ever Masters quarter-final but won only one game in his only previous meeting with the Spaniard. Nadal is expected to come through comfortably. Highlights of Rafael Nadal against Sam Querrey from the third round of the Madrid Open. Masters of their Trade Where do Rafa and Novak rank in the all time Masters list One to WatchNovak Djokovic and Milos Raonic meet in the final match of the day on the main stadium court and it could be a cracker, despite the one-sided nature of their head-to-head - the world number one has won all six previous meetings, including a 6-2 6-0 success at the Indian Wells final earlier this year.dddddddddddd. Andy Murray will take on Tomas Berdych at the Madrid Open, live on Sky Sports Raonic was struck by injury in that match and when he hasnt been sidelined, the Canadians form has been as good as anyone this year. He is up to number 10 in the latest world rankings, claiming one title - the Brisbane International - to go with his runs to the semi-final of the Australian Open and the Indian Wells final.However, Djokovic looked ominously back to his very best with a ruthless 6-2 6-1 destruction of Roberto Bautista Agut in the last 16 and looks to have put his second-round Monte Carlo defeat to Jiri Vesely firmly behind him. Highlights of Novak Djokovic against Roberto Bautista Agut from the third round of the Madrid Open. Surprise in Store?Nick Kyrgios is one of two unseeded players left in the draw and he takes on sixth seed Kei Nishikori in what we have to pick as our surprise, although the game itself could easily have made our one to watch. Nick Kyrgios is enjoying another impressive Masters run Nishikori has been in terrific form without quite getting over the line, reaching the final in each of his last two events (Miami and Barcelona), while Kyrgios has shown a maturity to his game and behaviour this year that has seen him claim a maiden ATP title in Marseille and make a first Masters semi-final in Miami.The 21-year from Canberra will hope to add a second when his faces Nishikori, the man who ended his run in Florida with a straight-sets win in their last-four showdown. 2016 Masters 1000 - Winners Indian Wells Novak Djokovic Miami Novak Djokovic Monte Carlo Rafa Nadal In Case You Missed ItBernard Tomic has been in the news again for all the wrong reasons, despite appearing to have regained his focus for much of the season.And earlier this week, he appeared to give up against Fabio Fognini when he turned his racket upside down to receive at match point down with his handle!
