US Open 2019 Women's Champion


US Open 2019 Women's Finals Pick RESULTS
Total:  0 Win; 1 Loss

Bianca Andreescu and Naomi Osaka are going to be terrorizing Tennis for a good decade -- unless injuries continue to plague them. Though both have similar potential but very different games, Andreescu is a "gym rat" or its tennis equivalent. She loves being on the court and pushes herself extremely hard.

[Williams S.] (8) vs. Sharapova M.  -- Wattage. Bright lights. Maria Sharapova will be fresh and this is her best chance to beat Serena Williams. Serena needs to be focused and not expect to use this match to shake off rust.

Wimbledon 2019 Women's Predictions for the Finals


"I've been waiting for this moment for all my life" but not with the negative undertone of Phil Collins's song. This moment has eluded Serena Williams' for over two years, ever since she went on maternity leave. Since then she's lost two major championship finals. She's always the favorite even when playing someone the caliber of Simona Halep.

Wimbledon 2019 Women's Predictions for the Semifinals


Everyone gets nervous. We saw a bit of that in the last round for these four players who have qualified to play in the Semifinals. Whereas Serena's nervousness came in the second set after winning the first, the other three players got off to slow first sets before overcoming being down a break to win the first set. All three won in two sets while Serena won in three sets.
