[7] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs [13] Lucie Safarova (CZE)

I have been wrong about Ivanovic starting with a 3rd round prediction.  I was horribly wrong about her quarterfinal prospects.  I ignored her dominating head-to-head record and picked her to lose in the quarters?!?!  If I now pick Ivanovic, I will be going against Safarova’s 5-3 head-to-head record vs. Ivanovic including winning 5 of 6.  Safarova beat Ivanovic at the 2014 French Open.  So what to do?  I think Safarova has a more varied game and is a game competitor.  Ivanovic has a bit more power and has the experience factor owning a Roland Garros title.  Safarova being a lefty can always throw an opponent off guard.  Safarova knocked out the #2 seed and defending champion (a bigger win on paper than her beating Ivanovic would be minus a Grand Slam final berth being on the line).  I think Sarafova holds her nerve and wins this match.

My Prediction: Lucie Safarova d. Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-3
