Garbine Muguruza’s Opportunity The Blueprint? Like most tennis fans, I started paying close attention to Garbine Muguruza after she defeated Serena Williams 6-2, 6-2 at the 2014 French Open.

Wimbledon 2015: Ladies’ Quarterfinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD Maria Sharapova (RUS) [4] v Coco Vandeweghe(USA) – Coco can win this match if she presses Maria’s serve. We know Sharapova’s serve can at times go off the rails. If Vandeweghe serves with poise and confidence, she can put a lot of pressure on Sharapova. I still think that the veteran has to…
Wimbledon 2015: July 6th Womnen’s Predictions
They’ve been doing this for awhile Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Serena Williams (USA) v [16] Venus Williams (USA) – I think Venus played better than Serena through 3 rounds. Venus has the tools to bother and perhaps beat Serena. The problem is that Serena’s iron will when defeat is an option is entirely underrated….

Wimbledon 2015 Ladies’ Draw Initial Impressions
My Prediced Ladies’ Semifinalists Top Half: Serena Williams vs. Lucie Safarova – I can’t see Sharapova’s movement holding up for 5 matches to set up the favored Q Rating semifinal. Safarova’s lefty game should work well on grass, and she has momentum from Paris. Barring illness Serena should advance to the final. Bottom Half: Petra…

French Open 2015: Serena Williams vs. Lucie Safarova Championship Prediction
Serena Williams vs. Lucie Sarafova Serena Williams last loss came against a lefty from the Czech Republic. One would be foolish to think that both coaching teams have not looked at the Madrid match between Serena Williams and Petra Kvitova. Safarova’s left-handed shot making makes this match quite a bit more insteresting than many might…
