Venus Williams vs. Agnieszka Radwanska This match only has two possible paths that I can see. The first path is that Venus Williams uses her striking power and big serve to take command of points early when both returning and serving and runs through the match quickly. The second path is that Radwanska sneaks out…

WTA Miami: March 26, 2014 Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD My WTA predictions at Indian Wells were dismal. I can only hide behind my pinched nerve so long though as I wade back into two matches that could easily go either way. Na Li (2) vs. Caroline Wozniacki (11) – The Dane could easily win this match. She is a very fit athlete who…
Indian Wells 2014 Final Prediction: Radwanska vs. Pennetta
Agnieszka Radwanska (2) vs. Flavia Pennetta (20) My picks on the ATP draw at Indian Wells were hit or miss, but my WTA picks were downright awful. Most of the credit or blame goes to these two players. I did not predict them to win their semifinal matches. I thought Pennetta would lose in the quarterfinal round as…

Australian Open 2014: Radwanska vs. Cibulkova Prediction
Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) [20] vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [5] Cibulkova and Radwanska get a short turn around, but since week long WTA events have players in back-to-back matches on most days this should not be a problem. Cibulkova only dropped 3 games yesterday so she should be healthy. Radwanska did drop a set to Vika,…
Australian Open 2014: Day 10 Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Simona Halep (ROU) [11] vs. Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) [20] – I think Halep is an up and coming player on the WTA. Cibulkova is a known commodity.

2013 China Open Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Tomas Berdych (CZE) v [2] Rafael Nadal (ESP) H2H – I actually do not think Berdych is a bad pick here as he could win, and Rafa is due for a loss. Still, until Rafa loses or his knees look shaky, I think Rafa has to be favored in any match at the moment. [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) v [5] Richard Gasquet (FRA) H2H – Richard…
US Open 2013: Day 7 Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winner in BOLD Fourth Round Serena Williams (1) vs. Sloane Stephens (15) – This could be a good match, but I think Serena has to be the pick regardless of Melbourne.
