Predicted Winners in BOLD

Women’s Singles – Quarterfinals

Victoria Azarenka (BLR) [1] v Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) – Kuznetsova has a chance.  Still, the defending champion and world #1 has a method for ceasing to be an afterthought – beat people.  I think Vika wins in 2 tight sets.

Serena Williams (USA) [3] v Sloane Stephens (USA) [29] – Great result for Stephens, but the road ends here.  Serena is looking determined and Sharapova’s steamrolling likely motivates Serena for a top level showdown to decide the title.
