My predictions unfortunately flopped in the the semi-finals with Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic progressing to the final… I fancy Djokovic to win it in three sets. I will be back later to provide previews for next week’s tournaments!
Tomas Berdych 1. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga v Tomas Berdych Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has his usual ups and down in his third round match with Marcos Baghdatis but did well to finish the match in two sets, 6-2 7-6. He now takes on Tomas Berdych in what is a difficult quarter to call. Berdych needed three sets to…
The Top 4 of 3rd Round Shanghai Matches Andy Murray 1. Andy Murray v Alexandr Dolgopolov Andy Murray received a walkover into the third round after Florian Mayer was forced to retire with a rib injury. This is unlikely to favour Murray who has yet to take to the fast hard courts of Shanghai. His…
Almagro is out of Shanghai I have updated my prediction chart for Shanghai where I have made a very solid start by correctly predicting 12 and 13 winners on the first two days of action. Today saw Tommy Haas caused the first minor upset with a come-from-behind victory to take out the number 9 seed…
Victoria Azarenka claimed her fifth title of the season and her first since winning Indian Wells with a 6-3 6-1 victory over Maria Sharapova. It was a pretty uninspiring match with both producing more unforced errors to winners; Sharapova hit 18 winners to 39 unforced errors and I think you would be hard pushed to…

Federer will play…
At the start of the week I would not have predicted Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka would be contesting the Beijing final! Maria Sharapova was not herself in Tokyo, eventually succumbing to a straight sets defeat to Sam Stosur in the quarter-finals, meanwhile Victoria Azarenka retired from her quarter-final match because of dizziness; both have…
Yesterday was a bad day at the prediction office… lets see if I can do any better for the semi-finals. Maria Sharapova v Li Na Maria Sharapova has hit a rich vein of form following a disappointing week in Tokyo. She was on fire in her quarter-final match with Angelique Kerber when the German player…
Maria Sharapova Angelique Kerber v Maria Sharapova The top billing for the quarter-finals in Beijing will see Angelique Kerber take on Maria Sharapova. Kerber improved her stunning record in three set matches this year to 20-2 with a 6-1 2-6 6-4 victory over Caroline Wozniacki in the third round. It was Kerber’s third win over…
