Predicted Winners in BOLD Center Court (11 a.m. start) [7] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs. Feliciano Lopez (ESP) H2H – If Grigor can return with some sting, I think he will win this match.

Cincinnati 2017: Sad Not to Be There

One fact of human life is that moving stinks.  A person or family can purge items through donations, recycling, and use of dumpsters and still find the process to be slow and tedious.  Frustrations can also arise as schedules needed for moving are a lot like the best laid plans of mice and men.  At…

Toronto 2017: Svitolina vs Wozniacki Championship Prediction

[5] Elina Svitolina (UKR) vs [6] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)  This match should be closely contested.  Caroline Wozniacki is an excellent athlete who sometimes lacks enough aggression to grab big wins.  Svitolina has a serve that can allow her to dictate play early in points.  That to me will be the difference in this match.  Svitolina can possibly force…
