WTA Dubai Quarter Final Predictions

How does everyone think the Quarter Final matches will go tomorrow?

Mauresmo vs. Kuznetsova
Henin-Hardenne vs. Schiavone
Hingis vs. Sharapova
Kirilenko vs. Davenport


I predict :

Mauresmo beats Kuznetsova
Amelie has always beaten Svetlana; Amelie is on a roll too. Two reasons why she will beat her again.

Henin-Hardenne beats Schiavone
Was tempted to say Francessca, but I think Justine will use her expertise to slip through to the semi-finals

Hingis beats Sharapova
Again, its tempting to say Maria; however I think that Martina will use her vast knowledge of tennis to overmind Maria.

Davenport beats Kirilenko
Davenport walloped Likhovtseva, and although Maria K is playing extremley well in Dubai, won't have enough to win against Davenport.

What do you think?
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Kuznetsova to beat Mauresmo (Sveta is fresh and full of desire to win:))
Henin-Hardenne to beat Schiavone (No questions here)
Sharapova to beat Hingis (Sweet revenge :devil: )
Davenport to beat Kirilenko (Lindsay plays great in Dubai 2006)

Amelie def. Sveta easily
Justine beats Fran in a tight 3 setter
Hingis beats Maria
Masha beats Lindsay :eek:

Amelie defeats Sveta in straight sets.
Justine beats Schiavone in straight sets (with a bagle included).
Martina beats Maria S in straight sets.
Lindsay beats Maria K in straight sets.

All in all, pretty uneventful QF matchups. The only one that looks even mildly exciting should be the Hingis-Sharapova showdown.

Hows Justine playing - her scoreline today wasn't brilliant and Fran had chances in Sydney when she was playing well? Hows her ulcer and Fran's knee?

Lindsay looks good.

Martina looks good enough to repeat.

Momo unless Sveta has recovered her winning ways.

with a bit of a correction, justine beating amelie :p i bet if she beats schiavone, she's out for revenge over her illness. come on justine, put everyone's mind straight again! take the title!!! :) :bounce: (she wasn't playing that great though in her first match:unsure:*shivers at the schiavonematch*.

Can someone remind me again who won this tournament last year and who else played in the finals? I know I could probably look it up, but....

Davenport def. Jankovic 6-4 3-6 6-4.

kutz def momo in 3
jj def schiavoni in 3
hingis def sharapova in 3
lindsay def kirk in 2

I'll just have to cross my fingers.....

Lindsay and Amelie in 2.
Justine and Martina in 3, although I'm rooting for Francesa and Maria.

:yawn:

My predictions:


Amelie beats Svetlana in close two sets or less close 3 (Sveta takes the first)

Justine beats Francesca with similar score as today

Maria beats Martina in 3 short sets (first is won by Martina)

Lindsay beats Maria in 2 easy sets (but no bagels).



I'm the least sure about the Maria & Martina since Maria is extremely unpredictable.

Momo over Svetlana 3-6, 7-5, 6-2
Hingis def. Sharapova 6-4, 6-3
Henin def. Shiavone 4-6, 7-5, 7-5
Lindsay def. Lenko 6-3, 6-3

Mauresmo d. Kuznetsova 6-4 6-4
Henin-Hardenne d. Schiavone 6-4 7-6(5)
Sharapova d. Hingis 7-5 6-3
Kirilenko d. Davenport 6-4 2-6 7-5

masha to win in 2 sets over hingis
mauresmo straight sets over kutzy
dav 3 sets over maria k
justine 3 sets over schiavone
good luck masha!!!

That's pretty much how I saw it panning out too... with the 4 your said winning. I've no doubt I'll be completely wrong though! ;)

Schiavone def Henin Hardenne 3-6 7-6 6-3
Hingis def Sharapova 6-4 6-3

Mauresmo loses some momentum in the second set but prevails over Kuznetsova 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

Schiavone weathers the storm and edges Henin 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-4.

Sharapova gets her head back together and avenges her recent loss to Hingis 6-4, 6-3.

Davenport absolutely destroys Kirilenko 6-2, 6-1.

Schiavone def. Henin-Hardenne (I hope so)
Sharapova def. Hingis (Maria wants her revenge) ;)
Davenport def. Kirilenko (Maria isn't strong enough for Lindsay)
