Predicted Winners in BOLD
Alizé Cornet (FRA) vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [9] – This match has me stumped. I love Cornet’s ability to produce big wins, but Aga’s style may not be bothered by Cornet’s counter-punching as much as an attacking player’s game would be.
Elina Svitolina (UKR) [5] vs. Magda Linette (POL)
Daria Kasatkina (RUS) [26] vs. Simona Halep (ROU) [3] – This could be a trap match for Halep.
Anastasija Sevastova (LAT) [17] vs. Petra Martic (CRO)
Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE) vs. Caroline Garcia (FRA) [28]
Carina Witthoeft (GER) vs. Karolina Pliskova (CZE) [2]
Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) [11] vs. Catherine Bellis (USA) – To Finish 6-2 2-5 – I stick with my original pick by rule.
Veronica Cepede Royg (PAR) vs. Mariana Duque-Marino (COL) – The battle of South America
Elena Vesnina (RUS) [14] vs. Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP) [21] – I keep getting CSN’s matches wrong so this is likely to go the other way.
