[13] Venus Williams (USA) vs [Q] Mona Barthel (GER) – Venus has looked sharp thus far.
[1] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs. Coco Vandeweghe (USA) – I keep picking against Coco, and she keeps winning. I think the world #1 and defending champion will solve this riddle, but I’ve been wrong before with Coco.
MARGARET COURT ARENA
[7] Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) vs Sorana Cirstea (ROU) – If Garbine is not in control of her error count, this will be a poor pick.
