Another epic day at Wimbledon has seen the majority of 3rd round matches wrapped up with the only one to play out between Andy Murray and Marcos Baghdatis (currently one set all). I had two great results today with my 4th round predictions of Yaroslava Shvedova and Brian Baker both making it to the second…
The Top 4 on Day 6 Andy Roddick 1. David Ferrer v Andy Roddick The third section of the mens draw is littered with exciting matches but I have gone for the one between Ferrer and Roddick as my top pick. Ferrer has never had his best results at Wimbledon, but he has been largely…
Lukas Rosol at Eastbourne Just a very quick post in response to Lukas Rosol‘s INCREDIBLE five set victory over Rafael Nadal in the second round of Wimbledon! An amazing performance from Rosol with fearless hitting and ace-after-ace to completely stun Nadal in that final set under the lights. There goes my mens champion 😉 This…
The Top 4 on Day 5 Heather Watson 1. Agnieszka Radwanska v Heather Watson From a British angle, this is my number one match on Friday as the young Brit, Heather Watson takes on the world number three, Agnieszka Radwanska. Watson is the first British woman to make the third round at Wimbledon in ten…
Caroline Wozniacki out of Wimbledon The best match of the tournament so far saw the Eastbourne champion, Tamira Paszek continue her dazzling form as she saved two match points to beat Caroline Wozniacki, 5-7 7-6 6-4. It was a complete rollercoaster of a match with Paszek missing four set points in the opener, but then…
The Top 4 on Day 4 Grigor Dimitrov 1. Milos Raonic v Sam Querrey The best matches tomorrow come on the mens side and most of them in the ultra-competitive third quarter. I have picked out the encounter between Raonic and Querrey as my top match. Querrey has been making his way back from injury…
Francesca Schiavone This is just a quick note to say what a great day for the Brits with wins for Elena Baltacha, Anne Keothavong and James Ward! For so many years the media have ripped our British players to shreds for poor performances at Wimbledon so I hope there is much praise for them tomorrow. …
The Top 3 on Day 3 Tsvetana Pironkova 1. Maria Sharapova v Tsvetana Pironkova Sharapova faces a potentially tricky second round match against Pironkova. The Bulgarian has had a largely ineffective year so far, but always comes alive for the grass court season. She has made the semi-finals and quarter-finals at Wimbledon in the last…
Elena Vesnina The biggest surprise on the first day of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships saw the number six seed, Tomas Berdych bundled out of the tournament by Ernests Gulbis, 7-6 7-6 7-6 in a terrific Centre Court match. I questioned Berdych being put on Centre Court over Federer but massive credit to the schedulers for…
The first two days of Wimbledon are probably the most manic, crazy and exciting days during the whole year! Tomorrow’s scheduling has thrown up a number of surprises with Tomas Berdych put on the centre court schedule over Roger Federer. On paper, court number one has the best line-up of matches with Roger Federer neatly…
