Indian Wells 2014 Final Prediction: Radwanska vs. Pennetta

Agnieszka Radwanska (2) vs. Flavia Pennetta (20) My picks on the ATP draw at Indian Wells were hit or miss, but my WTA picks were downright awful.  Most of the credit or blame goes to these two players.  I did not predict them to win their semifinal matches.  I thought Pennetta would lose in the quarterfinal round as…

Two Cool Videos from Indian Wells

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03ndRyTQvdk] Federer running down two overheads (Dolgopolov could have done a bit more with each overhead) Federer and Edberg training.  Some of the best moments at tennis tournaments are just watching players practice.  Seeing how well they have honed their craft and how talented they are is worth the price of a ticket.  

Indian Wells 2014 Semifinal Prediction: Isner vs. Djokovic

Novak Djokovic (2) vs. John Isner (12) As I stated in my last post, my picks have been dismal at Indian Wells this year.  In 2012 (see above), Isner won in this very spot and then lost to Roger Federer in the Indian Wells final.  History could repeat itself as John’s serve is so big that it gives…

Indian Wells WTA Predictions: March 14, 2014

Predicted Winners in BOLD Semifinals Na Li (1) vs. Flavia Pennetta (20) – Pennetta is a cagey veteran capable of pulling an upset, but Na Li has had the best 2014 of any player on the WTA Tour by virtue of her winning in Melbourne.

Indian Wells ATP Predictions: March 14, 2014

Predicted Winners in BOLD Quarterfinals Novak Djokovic (2) vs. Julien Benneteau – I think Djokovoic and Federer are on a collision course.  Benneteau has lived up to what I think of him. Namely, he is a talented and dangerous player.  I think Nole comes through in 3 sets. John Isner (12) vs. Ernests Gulbis (20) – Gulbis has been eerily consistent…
