Lisicki continued her giant-killing at Wimbledon. |
(23)Sabine Lisicki GER vs Kaia Kanepi EST: Lisicki in 3 sets
Can Lisicki back up the upset of Serena Williams? The other giant killers have not and Kanepi is a very solid opponent. But something about Lisicki and Wimbledon just say Lisicki in 3 up-and-down sets
(4)Agnieszka Radwanska POL vs (6)Li Na CHN: Radwanska in 2 sets
There is absolutely no pattern in the rivalry between Radwanska and Li, which Li leads 6-4. So I picked Radwanska solely on the fact that she is the defending finalist and the higher seed. However, don't bet on it!
(17)Sloane Stephens USA vs (15)Marion Bartoli FRA: Bartoli in 3 sets
Both have navigated matchups against tricky unseeded opponents, though Bartoli has not dropped a set while Stephens has been pushed to 3 sets in 3 matches. I am a big fan of Stephens, but she has been quite lucky to get this far with those lapses in her game. Bartoli is a former Wimbledon finalist and will battle it out with Stephens for a spot in the top 10. 50-50 for me.
(8)Petra Kvitova CZE vs (20)Kirsten Flipkens BEL: Kvitova in 2 sets
With the unpredictability of Kvitova, this is a mighty hard one to choose. She can dish out a double bagel or get double bageled at any time. Flipkens has not dropped a set and upset Kvitova on hardcourts this year. However, Kvitova has not lost to anyone but Serena Williams in Wimbledon since 2010 and is my pick for another Wimbledon title.
