Predicted Winners in BOLD Venus Williams (USA) [10] v Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) [13] – I keep picking against Ostapenko.  That did not work out well at Roland Garros or at Wimbledon to this point.  I think Venus can hold serve often enough and use her grass court experience to win this match.   Johanna Konta (GBR) [6] v Simona Halep (ROU) [2]…

Adrian Mannarino (FRA) v Novak Djokovic (SRB) [2] Adrian Mannarino faces a 3-time Wimbledon champion and 4 time Wimbledon finalist who just won a tune-up event on grass.  Djokovic is also likely feeling disrespected and perhaps is drinking Gil Water (see Open).  Obviously, the twenty-nine year old from France is up against it.  His clever baseline game and nice…

Predicted Winners in BOLD CENTRE COURT (1 p.m. start) [1] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA) – I like Murray to win and return to the final 8. [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [13] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) – Dimitrov could win this match. Experience is clearly on Federer’s side.  Still, Dimitrov has reached a Wimbledon semifinal and won Queen’s…

Predicted Winners in Bold CENTRE COURT (1 p.m. start) [10] Venus Williams (USA) vs. [27] Ana Konjuh (CRO) – The recent news about the wreck has to ease Venus’ mind to an extent.  This is a match that could go either way, but Venus plays her best tennis on grass and has an experience edge. No. 1 COURT She’s…

Predicted Winners in BOLD CENTRE COURT (1 p.m. start) [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [PR] Ernests Gulbis (LAT) – I like Djokovic a lot in this match. [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [27] Mischa Zverev (GER) [27] – Federer will need to take care of his serve, but he should come through in 3 or maybe 4 sets. No.1 COURT…

Agnieszka #Radwanska could make her earliest exit from #Wimbledon since 2011 at the hands of #Bacsinszky More > https://t.co/LSPDHsR7yy pic.twitter.com/2RS7xVuXQ6 — Live Tennis (@livetennis) July 8, 2017 Predicted Winners in BOLD CENTRE COURT (1 p.m. start) [9] Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) vs [19] Timea Bacsinszky (SUI)  – I think Radwanska continues her solid history at Wimbledon.

[1] Andy Murray (GBR) vs [28] Fabio Fognini (ITA) –…

Predicted Winners in BOLD CENTRE COURT (1 p.m. start) [PR] Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs [WC] Heather Watson (GBR) – I like Vika to win in 3 sets. No.1 COURT [6] Johanna Konta (GBR)  vs Maria Sakkari (GRE) – Konta could win the whole thing.  Virginia Wade … [10] Venus Williams (USA) vs Naomi Osaka (JPN) – I think Venus…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Novak Djokovic vs. Adam Pavlasek – Djokovic’s 2017 seemed to round a corner in Rome. He is going in the right direction now.  The biggest question is how quickly he can progress in that direction.  That answer shouldn’t impact this match in the least Roger Federer vs. Dusan Lajovic – Federer…

Predicted Winners in BOLD Angelique Kerber vs. Kirsten Flipkens – Kerber is by no means a lock, but perhaps her poor year is taking a turn for the better. Karolina Pliskova vs. Magdalena Rybarikova – I like Pliskova as the favorite for the big plate at this stage of the event. Caroline Wozniacki vs. Tsvetana…
