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….

Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. [31] Steve Johnson (USA) H2H – I’d love for Johnson to win and even think he has about a 40% chance to do so, but that does not make him the favorite. [13] Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs. [Q] Magda Linette (POL) – Vika is back so to speak….
Australian Open 2016: Angelique Kerber vs. Johanna Konta
Upward Bound or Meteoric Rise? Angelique Kerber vs. Johanna Konta This is a great opportunity for both players. I have gotten Konta wrong in virtually every round.

Australian Open 2016: Johanna Konta vs. Shuai Zhang Quarterfinal Prediction
