Predicted Winner in BOLD C = Correct, X = Incorrect Here is a nice preview for the week’s events Grand Prix Hassan II – Morocco First Round Igor Andreev vs. Albert Montanes – Neither player has made much noise on tour recently.

Family Circle Cup Final Predictions
Family Circle Cup Final Predictions Predicted winner in BOLD Final I know Lucie Safarova just served up a double bagel. I know Safarova pushed Serena hard last summer (see video clip). It is clay, and Safarova is a lefty. All of these factors might mean that an upset is brewing. Still, Serena Williams is playing…

Outside of Caroline Wozniacki, Radwanska is probably the most steady player in the WTA top 10. If Maria has a poor serving day,…
Sony Ericsson/Miami Predictions for 3-30-2012
Predicted winner in BOLD C = Correct Pick, X = Incorrect Pick Semifinals Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Juan Monaco (21) – Monaco has had a dream run. Nole has not played his A+ game to this point. Still, Novak will advance. His return of serve alone makes it hard for Monaco to win this match. …
Sony Ericsson/Miami Predictions 3-29-2012
Predicted Winners in BOLD C = Correct, X = Incorrect SemifinalsDashboard Maria Sharapova (2) vs. Caroline Wozniacki (4) – This is a big test for Caro.
