Miami Open 2017: Wozniacki vs. Konta Championship Prediction
Miami Open Championship Prediction Can Wozniacki reverse this result? [10] Johanna Konta (GBR) vs. [12] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) This is a bit later than I was hoping to write/post due to some travel on my end.

Masters Miami 2017: Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [5] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Fabio Fognini (ITA) H2H – I have been bullish on Fognini this entire event.
