Predicted Winners in BOLD

[6] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. Karin Knapp (ITA) – Knapp is a solid player, but Halep should win.  Will she is the big question?

[8] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) vs. Sabine Lisicki (GER) – On other surfaces, I’d likely pick Lisicki.

[WC] Sorana Cirstea (ROU) vs. Danka Kovinic (MNE) – A big day for Romania?

Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) vs. Caroline Garcia (FRA)  – Will the bane of Sharapova win?  I think so.

[11] Lucie Safarova (CZE) vs. Samantha Stosur (AUS) – Both are Roland Garros runner-ups, but Safarova has momentum on her side.

[Q] Laura Siegemund (GER) vs. [Q] Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (CRO) – Veteran power!

[10] Timea Bascinszky (SUI) vs. Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) – A mild upset

Camila Giorgi (ITA) vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS)
