Tomas Berdych may have thought he had a shot at beating a weary Novak Djokovic, but he was rather abruptly put in his place as he fell to the Serbian world number one, 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-4. Djokovic looks to have put that epic match with Stanislas Wawrinka behind him and will now benefit from…
Maria Sharapova v Li Na Maria Sharapova continued her devastating progression through the Australian Open draw with a 6-2 6-2 win over Ekaterina Makarova in the quarter-finals. The world number two has lost just 9 games throughout the whole tournament, but still comes up short to the record held by Mary Pierce who lost just…
1. Roger Federer v Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Roger Federer Roger Federer continued his impressive dance through the draw as he had no problems in getting past Milos Raonic, 6-4 7-6 6-2. I fancied Raonic to get a set off Federer, but he is still nowhere near close challenging Federer. I will reiterate, that I think the…
1. Li Na v Agnieszka Radwanska Li Na Tomorrow’s top billing will see Li Na have a second go this year at trying to snap Agnieszka Radwanska‘s unbeaten start to 2013. Radwanska produced an excellent performance to defeat Ana Ivanovic, 6-2 6-4 in the 4th round. She committed just 4 unforced errors throughout the match…
1. Roger Federer v Milos Raonic Roger Federer Roger Federer has made easy work of his “tough” draw so far as he played a blinder to beat Bernard Tomic, 6-4 7-6 6-1 in the third round. The second set saw some of the highest standard of tennis we have seen so far in the tournament…
Wow… the Australian Open has been somewhat flat so far with no real epic high quality matches in either draws. The second set of Federer/Tomic had been the best up till now, but that was blown out of the stratosphere with Novak Djokovic‘s 1-6 7-5 6-4 6-7(5) 12-10 win over Stanislas Wawrinka in the final…
David Ferrer 1. David Ferrer v Kei Nishikori The most intriguing of the 4th round matches on day 7 will pit the dogged and consistent Spaniard, David Ferrer against one of the emerging talents on the ATP tour, Kei Nishikori.

Roger Federer 1. Roger Federer v Bernard Tomic The women headlined yesterday’s schedule with some star-studded clashes, but tomorrow it will be the men who take centre stage.

Venus Williams 1. Venus Williams v Maria Sharapova Another pair of sure-to-be-fascinating womens matches headline day 5 with the highlight being the first match on the Rod Laver Arena night session schedule between Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova. This is the furthest that Venus has reached in a Grand Slam since her return to action…
The top match on day 4’s schedule certainly lived up in terms off drama, but missed the mark on high quality as Laura Robson edged a three hour epic with Petra Kvitova to progress to the 3rd round with a 2-6 6-3 11-9 win. This was another step forward in Laura’s coming of age on…
