Predicted Winners in BOLD
Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) [11] vs. Victoria Azarenka (BLR) – We have last year’s runner-up vs. the 2013 and 2013 champion. I think Azarenka has an outside shot at adding a 3rd Australian Open title this year. Therefore, I am picking Vika.
Serena Williams (USA) [1] vs. Garbine Muguruza (ESP) [24] – I could see this being quite close, but Serena normally does quite well when facing someone who beat her in a big match.
Venus Williams (USA) [18] vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [6] – Radwanska has played quite well thus far. Venus has more weapons at her disposal. My head says Aga and my gut says Venus. My gut picks have not done so well in this event so I think Radwanska finds a way to use variety and elicit errors to a degree that results in victory.
Madison Keys (USA) vs. Madison Brengle (USA) – The Bridges of Madison County? Keys should win so long as she avoids a letdown after her big victory over Petra Kvitova.

again i agree. i sure hope aga beats venus anyhow. the hype is too much. ha ha.
…new Tennis… What is waiting ATP and WTA to modify the Tennis court?: bring near ½ meter the transversal line of the service square towards the net. Finish the tale of the “great servicers” = “great borers” that turn out to the spectators from the tiers stadium, with the tedium of service and little more. Tennis is long game, is art…that generate fondness for Tennis, not the tale of the service. Come on, everybody thumb up…
