Predicted Winners in BOLD

[5] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) vs. Victoria Azarenka (BLR) – Vika played well in Madrid and dominated Woz in Melbourne.  Therefore, I will predict an upset.

[4] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs. [WC] Karin Knapp (ITA) – Still in the zone?

[2] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. Alison Riske (USA) – Halep needs to reclaim momentum for Roland Garros.

[14] Venus Williams (USA) vs. Elina Svitolina (UKR)

[7] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs. [Q] Daria Gavrilova (RUS)

[13] Sara Errani (ITA) vs. [Q] Christina McHale (USA) – I am tempted to take McHale, but Errani in Italy on clay is favored.

[16] Jelena Jankovic (SRB) vs. Magdalena Rybarikova (SVK)

[8] Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) vs. [LL] Kristina Mladenovic (FRA)

[6] Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) vs. Zarina Diyas (KAZ) – Don’t call it a comeback

[10] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) vs. Heather Watson (GBR) – CSN’s backhand is one of the great shots on the WTA Tour.

[15] Madison Keys (USA) vs. [Q] Bojana Jovanovski (SRB)

[9] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs. Irina-Camelia Begu (ROU) – Will Kerber be a contender in Paris?
