[GameSetAndMath]

I am projecting the following upsets for the opening day (not saying these will be the only ones).

1. Monica Niculescu to beat Sablenka
2. S-W Hsieh to beat Iga Swiatek
3. Katie Swan to beat Madison Keys

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I got the first one wrong Keeping fingers crossed on the other two.

You got the 3rd one wrong too, but you're the only one who seems to be counting.

No 10 seed Petra Kvitova defeated by Sloane Stephens 63 64

No 10 seed Petra Kvitova defeated by Sloane Stephens 63 64

I thought this might happen, with her playing the week before a major.

I am not a fan of anyone playing a week before a major

I got all of them wrong.

Good that I am not actually betting money on WTA matches; I would rather buy bitcoin.

A minor upset: Kudermetova ousted by Golubic. (went to 11-9 in final set).

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kvitova's loss is disappointing as some "experts" even picked her to lift the trophy considering she is a former two time champion here (but it was quite a while ago).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If these So Called Experts watched Petra play in Hamberg they would not be picking her to win at Wimbledon
That match was on my Pop Corn matches to watch and I was not surprised Sloane won.

 

[kskate2]

I don't think P3tra was ready to play, but because this is her fave surface she gave it a go.

#28 seed Riske goes out after winning the middle frame.

Gee I am surprised,Riske usually a solid grass player.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Does Venus Williams winning a first round match should be considered an upset ?

 

[AnonymousFan]

In a Berlin rematch, Cornet def. Andreescu 6-2, 6-1.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In yet another upset of a top 10 seed, #9 Bencic ousted by an unknown (to me) opponent.

Bencic seems to fall under ball basher category with no finesse. I am increasingly disappointed with her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

102 ranked Kaja Juvan scores the biggest upset win of her career defeats No 9 seed Belendia Bencic 63 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Madison Brengle defeated the No 4 seed Sofia Kenin 62 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

19 year old Colombian qualifer comes back from 0-4 down in the 1st set to defeat No 32 seed E.Alexandrova 75 62
