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…

7 of the 8 Gentlemen’s Quarterfinalists Get a Day of Rest Prior to the Final 8 Novak Djokovic or Kevin Anderson will not have a full day of rest before his upcoming Wimbledon quarterfinal match on Wednesday.

Wimbledon 2015: July 4th Ladies’ Predictions
Predicted Winners in BOLD [2] Petra Kvitova (CZE) v [28] Jelena Jankovic (SRB) – I like Petra to win, but JJ is capable of working her way into a match. If Petra plays a clean match, she will win pretty easily. If errors become a factor, this could go either way. [5] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)…
