This is the annual post on Moo’s Tennis Blog where I have a go at predicting the season-ending top ten for the upcoming season. 2022 was a strange old season – view last year’s results here and previous years here. Here’s hoping that 2023 is a more standard year in terms of ranking points. Read…
It’s that time of the year to look back at last year’s predictions. I’m going to take this year’s review with a pinch of salt after a wild tennis year that saw the world number one (and my number one!) retiring from tennis and no ranking points for Wimbledon. Before posting my predictions for 2023,…
Counting down my favourite WTA matches of the year has become a long standing tradition here on the blog. It’s my favourite season-ending post! I always enjoy reading other people’s lists too as it’s a personal choice. There’s never a right or wrong answer. Sometimes there’s a match that just captures the imagination that may…
The WTA best of 2022 series continues with a selection of light-hearted moments from the season to cut through the off-season doom and gloom. When constructing this post, I always go back and look at previous years and it’s a fun time. You can find them all here 🤗. Let’s take a look at the…
It’s me. Hi! I’m back for a trio of end-of-season posts to wrap up the tennis year that was 2022. The WTA Best of 2022 series begins with Handshakes and Hugs. The aim of this post is always to showcase heartwarming acts of sportswomanship on the WTA tour. If you’ve missed any of the previous…
That’s a wrap for the women’s singles at 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Elena Rybakina won her first Slam title, becoming the first player since Amelie Mauresmo in 2006 to come from a set down to triumph in the Wimbledon final. In Saturday’s final, Rybakina beat Ons Jabeur, 3-6 6-2 6-2. Read on for the final post…
The semi-finals of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships are in the books and we now know the final! On Saturday, Ons Jabeur will take on Elena Rybakina for the Venus Rosewater Dish and a first Slam title. This is the penultimate post on MTB of the tournament with a review of how the semi-finals unfolded. Read…
The quarter-finals of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships are in the books. Once again, the top half hasn’t been able to match the excitement from the bottom half. We did get another three setter though. Three of the four quarter-finals went the distance which is the most three setters at this stage of a Slam since…
Wimbledon continued to debut their new tournament schedule as we delved deeper into the second week of the 2022 Championships. Previously, Tuesday was women’s quarter-finals day. Now the women’s and men’s quarter-finals are split across the Tuesday and Wednesday. Today was my last full day of annual leave. It’s gone so quickly! Upsets and all…
The fourth round is in the books at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships and the quarter-finals are set for Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday wasn’t able to rival Sunday’s excitement and it was unfortunate that three of the matches clashed with each other. Read on for the best bits from day 8. There’s also a few media…
First week down. Second week incoming. Day 7 was the first official Middle Sunday in the newly revised Wimbledon schedule. The singles matches weren’t all that enticing on paper. Never judge a book by its cover! I think this was my favourite day of the Champs so far. As well as the singles matches, we…
The third round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships is officially in the books. Yikes what a day. Saturday had a fantastic order of play and it certainly didn’t disappoint. There was a stage during the afternoon where there were five women’s matches going at one point – status overwhelmed! Read on for highlights of the…
The bottom half of the women’s draw presents a mountain of opportunities for the eight players that remain. There were more upsets on Friday and just two of top 16 seeds from this half have advanced to the second week. I’m excited for day 6 which has an awesome schedule! Read on for the highlights…
The second round is officially in the books at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. It’s been a busy few days with some drizzly interruptions. Finally, we’re back on track (at least for the women’s singles) as we head into the third round. I had a great day at Wimbledon on Wednesday and i’ve written about my…
Day 3 of the 2022 Wimbledon Champs and I was lucky enough to be there. A big thanks to my sister who let me know that Wimbledon were releasing tickets back in March. They were strangely selective in sending out e-mails about ballot returns! I managed to get one of the last pairs of tickets…
