Indian Wells 2017: March 16th ATP Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [21] Pablo Carreno Busta (ESP) vs. [27] Pablo Cuevas (URU) H2H –  Cuevas is riding high at the moment.  I think this is a manageable upset on paper and based upon recent from it is not an upset at all.   [3] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. [8] Dominic Thiem (AUT) – The one-handed…

Predicted Winners in BOLD [13] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) vs. [28] Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) -I am still not fully on board with Wozniacki for whatever reason.  This is a nice opportunity for Mladenovic. [12] Venus Williams (USA) vs. [14] Elena Vesnina (RUS) – Venus’ strong 2017 play should continue with a quality win over Vesnina.

Predicted Winners in BOLD STADIUM 1 (11 a.m. start) [8] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) vs. [19] Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS) – Russian Revolution?  I like  [3] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs. [7] Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) – I saw these two play in person at Cincinnati last Summer.  Pliskova destroyed Muguruza who gave little resistance.
