Predicted Winners in BOLD
[10] Venus Williams (USA) vs. [Q] Kurumi Nara (JPN) – Venus is back at Indian Wells.
[5] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. Vania King (USA) – Simona says she is playing better so I guess I should take her word, but this is a tough draw.
[5] Serena Williams (USA) vs. [Q] (GER) Laura Siegemund – Serena is not likely to have a 2 match losing streak to German players.
[8] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs. Danka Kovinic (MNE) – Petra can be so devastating and can lose in an unexpected manner too.
[3] Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) vs. Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) – I am picking an upset just for the fun of it.
[16] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) vs. CoCo Vandweghe (USA) – A very winnable match for Coco.
[32] Monica Niculescu (ROU) vs. [WC] Heather Watson (GBR)
[23] Madison Keys (USA) vs. [Q] Nicole Gibbs (USA) – This could be a fun match for those with tickets to watch.
[27] Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) vs. Yulia Putintseva (KAZ)
[11] Lucie Safarova (CZE) vs. Yaroslava Shvedova (KAZ) – In 2015, Lucie had a great Roland Garros, 2 great slams in doubles last year, and was part of a winning Fed Cup team. Still, she needs some wins in the here in now.
[19] Jelena Jankovic (SRB) vs. Carina Witthoeft (GER) – JJ never goes away.
