China Open 2016: WTA Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD (11) Johanna Konta VS (8) Madison Keys – I am bullish on Keys in 2017. She has pushed a lot of the top players hard in 2016 and has taken some painful but potentially character building losses along the way. Still, Konta is on the cusp of the top 10 and has a wave…
