Wednesday will feature only a few singles matches that will all be played on Stadium Court:
The first singles match of the day is a womens quarterfinal match that will start around 1 p.m. local time.
(#2) Caroline Wozniacki vs. Justine Henin
Henin is still unranked, and has had a tough road of Dementieva, Cibulkova, and Zvonareva to get to this point thus far. But is she starting to wear down from these tough matches? I think its a great possibility that those matches helped get the rust off, but her next opponent Wozniacki will not give her anything easy. There will be a low amount of unforced errors out of her, making Henin earn every point. Either the serve, backhand or forehand will faulter for Henin, leading to a Wozniacki win.
Pick: Wozniacki
RESULT: Justine Henin 6-7, 6-3, 6-4.
Mens Quarterfinal match:
(#6) Andy Roddick vs. (#33) Nicolas Almagro
Almagro's game just isn't suited for giving Roddick a ton of trouble. He may be able to hang in there using some grit and toughness, but eventually Roddick will wear down the Spaniard and advance to the semifinals.
Pick: Roddick
RESULT: Andy Roddick 6-3, 6-3.
The night session begins at 7 p.m. with a womens quarterfinal match.
(#9) Samantha Stosur vs. (#14) Kim Clijsters
Stosur is in Miami to play tennis. Clijsters is in Miami to play tennis, be a mom, and go hang out with Serena Williams at an Alicia Keyes concert. Stosur will take out Clijsters in 3 sets due to being more focused and the better player at this time.
Pick: Stosur
RESULT: Kim Clijsters 6-3, 7-5
And now the last match of the day.
(#4) Rafael Nadal vs. (#8) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
This is a tough match to call. Nadal hasn't looked impressive the last couple matches, and Tsonga has a problem of going farther in tournaments. It seems that at about the quarterfinal-semifinal time is when Jo-Wilfried packs it in and goes home. Its tough to go against Nadal in this one, so I won't.
Pick: Nadal
RESULT: Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-2.
