Indian Wells 2016: WTA Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [1] Serena Williams (USA) vs. [3] Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) – This is potentially an interesting match, but as we saw in Melbourne it is possibly a one-sided affair. [18] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs. [13] Victoria Azarenka – Call me crazy, but I think Pilskova is on the uptick. She needs…

Australian Open 2016: Angelique Kerber vs. Victoria Azarenka Quarterfinal Prediction
I don’t think it will be quite this close [7] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs [14] Victoria Azarenka (BLR) This should be a great match. Kerber posted many good results in 2015 outside of the majors. I compared her 2015 to Magnus Norman’s 1999 campaign. Norman turned his solid 1999 showings into an Australian Open semifinal, a Roland…
Australian Open 2016: Day 8 Women’s Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [7] Angelique Kerber (GER) vs. Annika Beck (GER) – I think Kerber is the biggest beneficiary of this half of the draw imploding. Vika likely would have gone deep regardless, but Kerber can build on her strong 2015 season by making a late round at the opening slam of 2016. [14] Victoria Azarenka…

Australian Open 2016: Day 4 Women’s Predicitons
The Wizard of Oz? Predicted Winners in BOLD Anastasija Sevastova (LAT) vs. Ana Ivanovic (SRB) [20] – Ivanovic is generally solid in these first week matches. It is the second week where issues have arisen for her. Kirsten Flipkens (BEL) vs. Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) [3] – Garbine has a chance to do serious damage given the upsets that rocked round…
Australian Open 2016: Day 2 Women’s Predictions
Anett Kontaveit (EST) vs. Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP) [3] – I like Garbine here, but the 3rd seed seems a little high for her even if there is no arguing with computers. Venus Williams (USA) [8] vs. Johanna Konta (GBR) – Venus ended 2015 on a strong note. Victoria Azarenka (BLR) [14] vs. Alison Van Uytvanck (BEL) – I am…
Quick Hits: Nole, Stan, Milos, and Vika Shine
Novak Djokovic cemented his status as a heavy favorite entering the 2016 Australian Open. He has tons of confidence and momentum heading into his best major. What is not to like? Stan Wawrinka is my early #2 pick for the Aussie title. He and Novak have played five set matches each of the past 3 Australian Opens…

Top 10 Female Australian Open Champions Serena Williams – Serena claimed her first title in Melbourne in 2003 to clinch her first Serena Slam. Much like Jimmy Connors streak of winning the…
