My WTA: French Open 2016 - Round of 16 Picks

1.    The potential 2^nd Round match-up between Madison Keys and Daria Gavrilova might be the best of the early tournament matches. Both aim for power but Keys has the upper hand. Gavrilova’s energy and willingness to chase balls down provides the balance. 

 

Bracket	Player	Player	Player	Player
ONE	1 S. Williams	14 A. Ivanovic	22 D. Cibulkova	5 V. Azarenka
TWO	Al. Friedsam	15 M. Keys  / D. Gavrilova	L. Chirico	8 T. Bacsinszky
THREE	25 I. Begu	17 Karolina Pliskova	13 S. Kuznetsova	4 G. Muguruza
FOUR	M. Lucic-Baroni	A.Riske	19 S. Stephens / S. Lisicki	2 A.Radwanska

  

2.    The potential 2^nd Round match-up between Sloane Stephens and Sabine Lisicki could decide the player to come out that quarter of the bracket. This one is more on Sloane’s racquet and how motivated she is to hang in a possible three-setter this early in the tournament.
