Predicted Winners in BOLD Stadium (11 a.m. start) [2] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. Kevin Anderson (RSA) H2H – I like Nishikori to win, but if Anderson can push Nishikori off of the baseline, an upset can happen. [5] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Dudi Sela (ISR) H2H – Rafa rolls [9] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Guido Pella (ARG) H2H –…
Miami Open 2017: March 24th WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Stadium (11 a.m. start) [3] Simona Halep (ROU) vs. Naomi Osaka (JPN) – Halep’s post Rogers Cup results have not been great. This could be a good place to turn around recent trends. [1] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs. Ying-Ying Duan (CHN) – Kerber should win, but I am not seeing the…

Indian Wells 2017: Kuznetsova vs. Vesnina Championship Prediction
Singles Final (8) Svetlana Kuznetsova VS (14) Elena Vesnina This match is not what I or the tournament directors expected. It is intriguing and could be a huge feather in Vesnina’s cap or a strong statement about Kuznetsova still being able to win big events late in her career. I don’t have a ton to…
Indian Wells 2017: Men’s Semifinal Predictions
Swiss Army Final? Probably, but Does it Come w/ a Can Opener and Cork Screw? [3] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs. [21] Pablo Carreno Busta (ESP) I am more confident of Stan Wawrinka advancing than Roger Federer reaching the final. I think Wawrinka’s power baseline game and bluntly impactful serve leave Pablo Carreno Busta one path…
Indian Wells 2017: March 17th ATP Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [9] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [15] Nick Kyrgios (AUS) H2H – If Kyrgios serves like he did in his 2 recent wins vs. Novak Djokovic, this pick will look foolish.
