Predicted Winners in BOLD
Serena Williams (USA) [1] vs. Ana Ivanovic (SRB) [14] – This should be a good measuring stick for Ivanovic, but Serena is going to win.
Casey Dellacqua (AUS) – Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) [30] – I’m taking the Australian to advance.
Na Li (CHN) [4] vs. Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) [22] – I like Na Li to reach the semifinal round.
Angelique Kerber (GER) [9] vs. Flavia Pennetta (ITA) [28] – Kerber is probably my favorite player on the WTA tour since I saw her grind out a win last year in Cincinnati so take my pick with a grain of salt.
