[WC] Sloane Stephens (USA) vs. Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) – I keep getting matches with Stephens wrong so this time I went against my gut feeling. Grandstand [2] Simona Halep…

French Open 2017: Women’s Semifinal Predictions
Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) vs. Timea Bacsinszky (SUI) [30] This half of the draw went as far away from form as possible. The #30 seed is the numeric favorite vs. an unseeded opponent. Both players have perhaps altered their careers with this semifinal run. I think Bacsinszky has a bit more momentum heading into this match…
French Open 2017: June 7th Women’s Singles Predictions

Clay is also not the best surface…
French Open 2017: June 5th Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP) [21] vs. Simona Halep (ROU) [3] – Halep seems to be the favorite in what has been an all-around crazy French Open. I think Halep can ground CSN’s game. Caroline Garcia (FRA) [28] vs. Alizé Cornet (FRA) – Cornet is a contender. Elina Svitolina (UKR) [5] vs. Petra Martic (CRO) – Svitolina has had…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Philippe-Chatrier Court (11 a.m. start) [8] Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) vs [11] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) – This is a tricky match to predict. I am not sure where either player produces enough pressure to break the other down. I think Kuznetsova has more firepower and winning experience in Paris, but she is…
French Open 2017: June 3rd Women’s Singles Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Alizé Cornet (FRA) vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) [9] – This match has me stumped. I love Cornet’s ability to produce big wins, but Aga’s style may not be bothered by Cornet’s counter-punching as much as an attacking player’s game would be. Elina Svitolina (UKR) [5] vs. Magda Linette (POL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCwI6Xj8q9Y Daria Kasatkina (RUS)…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Court Philippe-Chatrier (11 a.m. start) [20] Barbora Strycova (CZE) vs Alizé Cornet (FRA) – This is a tough match for me to call. I watched Cornet last summer in Cincinnati and was impressed. I think she can spring an upset of a sort in this match. [2] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Thursday, March 30, 2017 Order of play Stadium (1 p.m. start) [2] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs. [12] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) – I think this match will be a war between one who wants to hit big and dictate and one who wants to counter punch. I think Wozniacki’s results will keep…
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. I think Vesnina has slightly more momentum and is slightly more likely to set the terms of this match. This is close to a coin flip, so I predict Vesnina d. Mladenovic 6-4,…
