The Brisbane champ never wins the Aus Open. I don't know who to vote for. I have 2 more days.

Bencic v Serena in round one. That will be a good test.

If Serena shows the same "efforts" like in Auckland she'll be out in first round.

I don't think Serena is looking to lose another first round though, so I think she will find a way through that match.

Bencic is struggling ....when she beat Serena she was peaking and Serena was struggling with a of pressure to win four slams in a year.
Serena is struggling with players who run down everything and keeping the ball in play..

Here are my picks.

Quarter 1: Kerber defeats Garbine
Quarter 2: Monia Puig defeats Svitolina
Quarter 3: Aga defeats Daria Gavrilova
Quarter 4: PR defeats Serena

SF1: Monica Puig degeats Kerber
SF2: PR defeats Aga

F: PR defeats Monica Puig

At this time, you may be asking for justification for my picks. I have a one line justification.

Hey, It is WTA.

If Serena gets past Belinda, I think she wins the whole thing. My 2nd pick would be Svitolina.
