Match of the Day: [24] Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) vs Alison Riske (USA) Muguruza is one of the most vexing players to predict. She holds two major titles and was also a major runner-up. When she plays well, she looks like a star who could be setting the standard on the WTA Tour, but her style of play…

Australian Open 2018: Day 1 Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) vs. Francesca Schiavone (ITA) – This is not the easiest draw. Each player has won Roland Garros. Still, Ostapenko should win. [5] Venus Williams (USA) vs. Belinda Bencic (SUI) – Another interesting draw, but I think Venus’ solid 2017 earns her the benefit of the doubt. [23] Daria Gavrilova (AUS)…
French Open 2017: Men’s Championship Prediction – Nadal vs. Wawrinka
Rafael Nadal vs. Stan Wawrinka Rafael Nadal is 9-0 in Roland Garros championship matches. Stan Wawrinka is 3-0 in major finals. Who wins? Who keeps his streak? I think there is a clear on paper favorite. However, I think this match is much closer than what the paper says. Rafael Nadal is the most dominant…

[Q] Shuai Peng (CHN) vs. [12] Venus Williams (USA) [9] Madison Keys (USA) vs. [13] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) – Keys should be able to dictate play vs. Wozniacki.

ATP Predictions March 4, 2017: Dubai, Acapulco, and Brazil/Brasil
Dubai Singles final (not before 7 p.m.) [1] Andy Murray (GBR) vs Fernando Verdasco (ESP) H2H – Verdasco can trouble Murray (see Wimbledon 2013), but I don’t see Murray losing unless Verdasco is zoning. I never expect a player to zone so I will take Andy Murray to win 6-4, 6-4. ********************************************* Abierto Mexicano Telcel Singles final (not…

Mercedes Cup 2016: June 9th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [3] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs. Sam Groth (AUS) H2H – I like Thiem, but his deep run in Paris may mean his grass court adjustments have not taken place yet. This could be a huge opportunity for Groth. [1] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Taylor Fritz(USA) 4-3 – to be completed (not before…
Ricoh Open 2016: June 9th ATP Predictions

Mercedes Cup 2016: June 8th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [WC] Michael Berrer (GER) vs. [Q] Florian Mayer (GER) H2H – Mayer’s match play in the qualifying rounds gives him an edge in my mind.
