Predicted Winners in BOLD

[7] Lucie Safarova (CZE) vs. Belinda Bencic (CZE) – Would this really be an upset after Toronto?

[1] Serena Williams (USA) vs. Karin Knapp (ITA) – Shockingly, I am picking Serena.

[8] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs. Jelena Jankovic (SRB)

[14] Elina Svitolina (UKR) vs Caroline Garcia (FRA)

[3] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. [15] Andrea Petkovic (GER) – This should be fun, but I think Halep’s gamne is more or less back.

[6] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs. Sloane Stephens (USA) – I like Sloane’s form this summer.

Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS) – Vika is rebounding quite nicely from 2014.  It is too bad her play is so far ahead of her ranking.

Varvara Lepchenko (USA) vs. [Q] Anna Schmiedlova (SVK) – I think the qualifier keeps up her winning ways.
