[7] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs [13] Lucie Safarova (CZE) I have been wrong about Ivanovic starting with a 3rd round prediction. I was horribly wrong about her quarterfinal prospects.

French Open 2015: Ivanovic vs. Svitolina Quarterfinal Prediction
[7] Ana Ivanovic (SRB) vs. [19] Elina Svitolina (UKR) Elina acquitted herself quite well versus Serena in Melbourne I have been wrong about both of these two players multiple times in this French Open. I needed to do more homework on Svitolina to make an educated guess on this match. It strikes me that the…

French Open 2015: May 29th Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Alize Cornet (FRA) [29] vs. Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (CRO) – Lucic-Baroni is a great story, but I think Cornet on French soil will find a way through.

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…
Madrid 2015: May 5th WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [4] Petra Kvitova (CZE) vs CoCo Vandeweghe (USA) – I am tempted to call an upset here. Kvitova’s health is a mystery. Still, I think Kvitova is slightly favored here as her talent is undeniable. [3] Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs [Q] Mariana Duque-Mariño (COL) – Maria is heavily favored here. [10]…
