Predicted Winners in BOLD

[13] Venus Williams (USA) vs. [24] Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS) – Venus is playing at a high level.  She could lose here, but her momentum is all quite positive.  Could an 8th major be on its way?

[7] Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) vs Coco Vandeweghe (USA) – If Coco can beat Kerber who won 2 majors in 2016, she can beat Muguruza who won 1 major last year.  This is close to a 50-50 match in my view.  Muguruza probably has the higher ceiling, but she has also played some awful matches in the past 7 months.  Coco has momentum, and I think it will continue.
