OK. Here are my predictions before a single ball is struck.

Quarterfinals:
  1. Coco d. Kristina Malendovic
  2. Aga d. Pironkova
  3. Keys d. Pliskova
  4. Venus d. Svitolina
Semifinals:
  1. Aga d. Coco
  2. Keys d. Venus
Finals:
  1. Aga Radwanska d. Madison Keys

Women's top 10 odds to win it all, as per the bookies.

1. Serena 6/4
2. Garbine 11/2
3. Madison 12
4. Petra 14
5. Aga 25
6. Simona 28
7. Angelique 33
8. Coco 40
9. Karolina 50
10. Venus 66

The field has a higher chance than Serena. They are giving Serena 40% chance and the field 60% chance.

Venus has a chance than say Muguruza,Venus owns Muguruza Coco and Aga etc..she has won five of these bad boys gawd dammit...no one knows how this surface is playing..it could be like that year when when everyone was slipping on the surface...the only player that can go toe to toe with Serena and Venus is Petra a Wimbledon winner....umm..thats it.
I guess Muguruza is being coroneted as the new pova...with scheduling and court assignment.I noticed that of all the women players she had the best scheduling in Paris..

Hope Bencic can have a good Wimbledon , tough first round against Pironkova same as last year. I think Lisicki will cause an upset and beat Muguruza in round 4 if they both get that far.

I don't think you even believe your own prediction.

I think Keys does have a chance of making it to the final and taking it all

Muguruza won because she had the best scheduling during Roland Garros,she is now getting pova s scheduling which can breed contempt i the locker room.She is now grunting like pova and posturing like the doper..

Brexit watch:

There are six British girls in the draw. Two of them played today and both were sent home promptly.
Laura Robson and Naomi Broady. Four more to go.

Brexit watch:

Today two more british girls completed their matches. Tara Moore became the first one to move to the second round. Young Katie Swan fell.

Heather has not stepped her foot on court yet. Konta is up a set and yet to complete it.

So the top half of the draw that should have played tomorrow isn't? I thought Serena would be playing her singles match tomorrow? What type of scheduling effery is this?

Not a single match in the 2nd round of bottom half even started on Wednesday and hence the delay. It is all due to rain.

Brexit Watch:

All six British girls finally finished their first round matches with just two moving on to second round.
They are Tara Moore (next up Kuznetsova) and J. Konta (next up Eugenie).

Brexit watch:

With the ouster of #16 seeded Konta right on the center court, there is only one British girl left in the draw. She is Tara Moore, a wild card receipient and she plays Kuznetsova on court #3 tomorrow.

I'm rooting for Venus but she's so inconsistent it's hard to see her making the final. Who knows though! At least she's not in Serena's half.
