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…

Australian Open 2016: Day 2 Women’s Predictions
Anett Kontaveit (EST) vs. Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) [3] – I like Garbine here, but the 3rd seed seems a little high for her even if there is no arguing with computers.

Quick Hits: Nole, Stan, Milos, and Vika Shine
Novak Djokovic cemented his status as a heavy favorite entering the 2016 Australian Open. He has tons of confidence and momentum heading into his best major. What is not to like?
