Rio Olympic Tennis: August 6 Women’s Singles Predictions

Wimbledon 2016: Day 1 Ladies’ Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Garbine Muguruza (ESP) vs Camila Giorgi (ITA) – Post-slam letdowns can happen.  Muguruza also has a lot of points to defend.  A loss here would surprise but not shock me.  Still, she should win.

French Open 2016: May 28th Women’s Predictions

Predicted Winners in Bold Pauline Parmentier (FRA) vs. Timea Bacsinszky (SUI) [8] – 8th seeds are supposed to beat unseeded players right?  Still this seems like a 50-50 match.

Rome 2016: May 11th WTA Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Roberta Vinci (ITA) vs. Johanna Konta (GBR) – This should be a close match. [5] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs. Madison Keys (USA) – Petra is so hard to predict.  I have no idea as Keys could beat her, but on clay I like Petra a little more. [3] Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) vs….

Madrid 2016: May 2nd WTA Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs. [Q] Elena Vesnina (RUS) – I would not be shocked to see an upset here.  Nothing Petra does surprises me these days.  She may dust the field or be bested by an unknown.  Vesnina is a solid player and could very well send the defending champion…
