Singles Final https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR5F_yccsbQ (8) Svetlana Kuznetsova VS (14) Elena Vesnina This match is not what I or the tournament directors expected.

Indian Wells 2017: March 17th WTA Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it0ZJofIF58 [14] Elena Vesnina (RUS) vs. [28] Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) – Both players are producing some great tennis.

Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Simona Halep (ROU) vs Lucie Safarova (CZE) – This battle of two former French Open runner-ups should be fun, but I think unless Safarova’s lefty game and variety bother Halep that this match will be rather one-sided. [6] Venus Williams (USA) vs Julia Goerges (GER) – Venus has earned the…

Genie Bouchard (CAN) vs. Lucie Safarova (CZE) – Again, I think the home crowd will not see what it wants.
