Roland Garros 2014 – Women’s Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe Chatrier (not before 3 p.m.) [7] Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs [18] Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) – Are they friends? Do either want to have friends on the WTA? ….

Andy Roddick Tweets Up Some Controversy on Monfils
Nothing pisses me off more when watching someone giving a horrible effort. Showboats when winning and rolls over when down #hatethat — andyroddick (@andyroddick) June 4, 2014 The thing about Andy Roddick being in the press I like most is that he will be bluntly honest when it comes to tennis.

Roland Garros 2014 – Day 11 Women’s Quarterfinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe Chatrier (2 p.m. start) [10] Sara Errani (ITA) vs [28] Andrea Petkovic (GER) – Errani’s recent history makes her the favorite. A rematch of the 2012 final is quite possible even if it was not the greatest match ever. Court Suzanne Lenglen [4] Simona Halep (ROU) vs [27] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) – I think Halep will win. However,…

Roland Garros 2014 – Women’s Quarterfinal Predictions Day 10
Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe Chatrier (2 p.m. start) [7] Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs Garbine Muguruza (ESP) – I am going to predict the upstart to pul the upset. She hits hard and flat. She moves well. If she can make Sharapova move, I think Muguruza has a good chance at winning. If Muguruza is nervous, Sharapova will roll….
Roland Garros 2014 – Men’s Quarterfinal Predictions for Day 10
Predicted Winners in BOLD These two matches should be quite interesting and entertaining. Court Philippe Chatrier (2 p.m. start) [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [8] Milos Raonic (CAN) – I think Nole will win to get that out of the way, but Milos Raonic’s 2014 clay court season has been a period in which his game and standing within the…
