Predicted Winners in BOLD

These are a bit later than usual, but I am under the weather.

Manolo Santana (11 a.m. start)

[3] Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs [5] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) – Already in progress so no prediction

[1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [10] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) – This match should be a good measuring stick for where Serena’s clay court game is.  I think Serena wins in 2 tight sets.

Arantxa Sanchez Vicario (1 p.m. start)

[13] Lucie Safarova (CZE) vs  Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) – Kuznetsova cannot be making yet another return to slam contention, or ….

[4] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs Irina-Camelia Begu (ROU) – Petra Kvitova has come back stronger than I expected.
