RESULTS

|
Victoria Azarenka
|
Eleni Daniilidou
|
Azarenka – while
the top seed had some trouble with Nicolescu in her opening match, she should
sail through this one with no problems
|
Azarenka
|
|
Luksika Kumkhum
|
Jamie Hampton
|
Hampton – the
feisty young American should have some trouble but should get through in
3
|
Hampton
|
|
Varvara Lepchenko
|
Elena Vesnina
|
This is a pick em
but I am going out on a limb and picking Vesnina for the win. That title in
Hobart seems to be working wonders on her psyche
|
Vesnina
|
|
Akgul Amanmuradova
|
Roberta Vinci
|
I would pick the
big serving Akgul but Vinci will expose her movement with her slice backhand
- Vinci
|
Vinci
|
|
Caroline Wozniacki
|
Donna Vekic
|
A battle of young
guns. Vekic is young and hungry. Wozniacki
is young and tired. This could be long
with Wozniacki winning or short with Vekic winning. I am going with Wozniacki
|
Wozniacki
|
|
Daria Gavrilova
|
Lesia Tsurenko
|
Tsurenko has played a
lot of tennis this season. Taking out
a seed in her last round, look for her to have a let down here - Gavrilova
|
Tsurenko
|
|
Su-Wei Hsieh
|
Svetlana Kuznetsova
|
This depends on
which Sveta shows up. If she decides
to play behind the baseline, she will lose.
Hsieh can run all day. Sveta
should use her arsenal of shots to win this - Kuznetsova
|
Kuznetsova
|
|
Yulia Putintseva
|
Carla Suarez
Navarro
|
Another battle of
the tiny tots. The world got to see
Putintseva in her last match against McHale. Look for the steady Navarro to
outlast the Russian – Navarro
|
Navarro
|
|
Serena Williams
|
Garbine Muguruza
|
How is the ankle
doing? That is the question the tennis
world is waiting on when Serena takes the court for her second round match.

|
Williams
|
|
Ayumi Morita
|
Annika Beck
|
I have not see
either of these women play since the tournament started but I am going with
Beck, if only because of her big win in the previous round.
|
Morita
|
|
Yanina Wickmayer
|
Jana Cepelova
|
Wickmayer to
continue her 2013 run of form against the youngster
|
Wickmayer
|
|
Shuai Peng
|
Maria Kirilenko
|
This one will be a
long drawn out affair. If Peng serves
well, she should take it, but I am going with Kirilenko
|
Kirilenko
|
|
Kimiko Date-Krumm
|
Shahar Peer
|
Peer had to battle
hard just to get here while Krumm sent Petrova packing with a bagel. Look for Krumm to discombolate Peer here.
|
Krumm
|
|
Bojana Jovanovski
|
Lucie Safarova
|
Depends on which
Lucie shows up. Bojana can be steady
as well as erratic. I am going with
Jovanovski
|
Jovanovski
|
|
Sloane Stephens
|
Kristina Mladenovic
|
Battle of the young
guns. Stephens dispatched her last
opponent with 2 breadsticks. Look for
her to continue her great run of form here.
|
Stephens
|
|
Laura Robson
|
Petra Kvitova
|
This is the match of
the day. Is 2011 Petra back or will
Robson get another top 10 scalp at a Major.
I am going with Petra because of her experience, plus she has to get
it right at some point
|
Robson
