Halep 1
Linette 1
Saville 1

Comments:
Should be OK: Shnaider, Wozniacki
Tougher matches, but probably OK: Linette, Saville, Wang Xinyu
Don't know well enough: Stearns
I expect Venus Williams to lose. She has won a relatively low percentage of matches over the last year or so, and is playing a fairly good nonseeded player in Shnaider.
I would want to see Halep play a match, so that I would know if she is ready to be back on tour, before picking her.

Re: 2024 Miami Practice SDP: WTA Picks and Results
It was 20% of matches Venus won in last year even before today. Hate to say but picking against her has become a rock solid strategy.

Only lost one person, this is a very good results!
Comments:
Picks that should be in good shape: Collins, Martic, and Osaka
Picks that I don't know enough about: Hunter and Avanesyan
Giorgi will probably win, but she is so inconsistant that I would be nervous picking her.

I picked Collins but immediately felt bad about it. And ... she has lost the first set to boot.

Re: 2024 Miami Practice SDP: WTA Picks and Results
I know, it made me nervous, too. But she managed to win as I was typing this response. Too bad we don't have a "wipe-the-brow" emote.

To be fair you were right ... they should have one. They just didn't

patrick: Did you know Sakkari was going to get a walkover, or was that just luck?
