Predicted Winners in BOLD

Angelique Kerber vs. Kirsten Flipkens – Kerber is by no means a lock, but perhaps her poor year is taking a turn for the better.

Karolina Pliskova vs. Magdalena Rybarikova – I like Pliskova as the favorite for the big plate at this stage of the event.

Caroline Wozniacki vs. Tsvetana Pironkova – Pironkova is dangerous on grass.

Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. Ekaterina Makarova – Doc vidanya Svetlana (my English phonetic approximation).

Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Christina McHale – I nearly picked McHale if that gives a sense of how much confidence I have in my pick.

Kristina Mladenovic vs. Alison Riske – Another crazy upset pick or is it actually quite possible?

Garbine Muguruza vs. Yanina Wickmayer

Timea Bacsinszky vs. Kristina Kucova

Coco Vandeweghe vs. Tatjana Maria – Can she recover her Aussie form?

Daria Kasatkina vs. Anett Kontaveit

Lucie Safarova vs. Shelby Rogers – Lefty power?
