“When I start to play, I was kind of smashing the serves. It was a good sign” – @Petra_Kvitova #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/hK3i1eyNUf — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) June 30, 2015 Predicted Winners in BOLD [18] Sabine Lisicki (GER) v Christina McHale (USA) – If this were on a slower surface, I would consider taking McHale as she competes…

French Open 2015: May 25th Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [29] Alizé Cornet (FRA) vs Roberta Vinci (ITA) – This is no easy first round match for Cornet. Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs Kaia Kanepi (EST) – Kaia could force one tight set, but she is not going to beat Maria in a 2 out of 3 set situation. Virginie Razzano (FRA) vs…
Madrid 2015: May 6th WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [3] Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs Caroline Garcia (FRA) – Sharapova is likely to win on what seems to be her best surface. Wrong Surface I know [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs Victoria Azarenka (BLR) – For a second consecutive match, Serena finds herself benefiting from playing on clay. Serena adapts to dirt…
Australian Open 2015 – Day 8 Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) [11] vs. Victoria Azarenka (BLR) – We have last year’s runner-up vs. the 2013 and 2013 champion. I think Azarenka has an outside shot at adding a 3rd Australian Open title this year. Therefore, I am picking Vika. Serena Williams (USA) [1] vs. Garbine Muguruza (ESP) [24] – I could see this…
Australian Open 2015 – Day 4 Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Hoping these go better than yesterday’s picks [6] Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) vs Johanna Larsson (SWE) [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs. Vera Zvonareva (RUS) – This could be fun. [20] Samantha Stosur (AUS) vs. Coco Vandeweghe (USA) – An opportunity for an upset [18] Venus Williams (USA) vs Lauren Davis (USA) [29]…
Rogers Cup 2014 Championship Prediction: Venus vs. Radwanska
Venus Williams vs. Agnieszka Radwanska This match only has two possible paths that I can see. The first path is that Venus Williams uses her striking power and big serve to take command of points early when both returning and serving and runs through the match quickly. The second path is that Radwanska sneaks out…
WTA Miami: March 26, 2014 Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD My WTA predictions at Indian Wells were dismal. I can only hide behind my pinched nerve so long though as I wade back into two matches that could easily go either way. Na Li (2) vs. Caroline Wozniacki (11) – The Dane could easily win this match. She is a very fit athlete who…
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…
Australian Open 2014: Radwanska vs. Cibulkova Prediction
Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) [20] vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [5] Cibulkova and Radwanska get a short turn around, but since week long WTA events have players in back-to-back matches on most days this should not be a problem. Cibulkova only dropped 3 games yesterday so she should be healthy. Radwanska did drop a set to Vika,…
WTA Toronto Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Semifinals Na Li (4) vs. Sorana Cirstea – I am picking Na Li as she has a great game and more experience, but she is also erratic. Serena Williams (1) vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (3) – This Wimbledon 2012 rematch is a contrast in styles, but I think Serena is clearly the favorite.
