Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. [31] Steve Johnson (USA) H2H – I’d love for Johnson to win and even think he has about a 40% chance to do so, but that does not make him the favorite. [13] Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs. [Q] Magda Linette (POL) – Vika is back so to speak….

Miami Open 2016: March 25 WTA and ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs. Barbora Strycova (CZE) – Kerber is allowed a post-Slam hangover, but I think she will be back in the mix sooner rather than later. [8] David Ferrer (ESP) vs. [Q] Taylor Fritz (USA) H2H – Unlikely, but I have a feeling. [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [PR]…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Andreas Seppi (ITA) vs. Donald Young (USA) H2H Borna Coric (CRO) vs. Denis Istomin (UZB) H2H [20] Sloane Stephens (USA) vs. [WC] Heather Watson (GBR) – This should be a fun one.

Miami 2015: Championship Prediction – Serena Williams vs. Carla Suarez Navaro
Serena Williams vs. Carla Suarez Navarro Certainly, this is not the championship match the draw gods would have expected. Serena is not only #1 in the world, but she is also the Queen of Miami based on a career of dominance at this event. Navarro has been playing solid tennis in 2015 and quite well…
Miami 2015: Andrea Petkovic vs. Carla Suárez Navaro Prediction
I think Petkovic would beat Kevin McHale as well [9] Andrea Petkovic (GER) vs [12] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) In March Madness terms, this is a surprising semifinal. Each would be seeded 3rd in the NCAA basketball tournament based upon world rankings, but neither would have been viewed as a title threat before the event began….
Miami 2015: Serena Williams vs. Simona Halep Predicition
I expect both players to compete hard, but who do I think will win? [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [3] Simona Halep This should be a good measuring stick for each player.

Miami 2015: April 1st WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [27] Sabine Lisicki (GER) H2H – Lisicki did post a big win versus Serena at Wimbledon 2013. The German matches up reasonably well with Serena because her serve is strong enough to counterbalance some of Serena’s general serving edge. Lisicki has played quite well in Miami as…
Miami 2015: March 31st WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [9] Andrea Petkovic (GER) vs [14] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) – I have been a bit slow to join the bandwagon. Still, Pliskova has a world class serve and is a talent to watch. I think her serve and overall talent are headed toward big things. Petkovic certainly can win and in some…
Miami 2015: March 30 Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD This is a great slate of matches [4] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) vs [16] Venus Williams (USA) – I like Wozniacki to win a close match. [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs [24] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) – Kuznetsova is just unpredictable enough to pull an upset, but I think Serena wins pretty easily. It is odd…
