This is going to be an exciting week for Moo’s Tennis Blog. More details to follow later! The men’s draw in Cincy actually kicks off on Sunday with two main draw matches, the first of them starting at 9pm UK time. I really don’t understand why they would schedule two matches today, but hey ho. …
I’m not quite sure what happened yesterday, but I was unable to get into my WordPress account from my home internet and couldn’t get the site to work either. Thankfully, after logging a call with WordPress Support they managed to fix the problem last night. I was out having a non-tennis day yesterday and was…
I must admit I haven’t watched a great deal of men’s tennis this week. One match I did get to watch was the quarter-final between Kevin Anderson and Grigor Dimitrov. Oh my god. Poor Kevin. In tennis, I never use the word “choke”. I hate the word and I feel some people have begun using…
The first semi-final in Montreal will be an all-Williams affair as Serena and Venus will play each other for just the second time in the last five years. Their last match came in Charleston in 2013 when Serena cruised through their semi-final, 6-1 6-2. I’m pleased it’s Serena-Venus as it looked for sometime like it…
In the first of the WTA quarter-finals in Montreal, Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki, 4-6 7-5 7-5 in two hours and 41 minutes in what was a throughly entertaining contest. Wozniacki has played some great tennis in her last two tournaments. In fact, her form seemed to turn at Eastbourne in June when she reached…
Maria Sharapova’s exit to Carla Suarez Navarro was the big surprise on Thursday in Montreal. I was absolutely stunned that CSN was able to close out the match. I was watching Djokovic and then Kvitova so didn’t watch any of the match. It sounded like a mess, but i’m so happy that CSN was able…
Allez Jo! The big headline on Thursday surrounded the world number one, Novak Djokovic, who was knocked out of the Rogers Cup by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 6-2 6-2. Although some saw it coming after Djokovic was on court for two hours and 40 minutes against Gael Monfils, this scoreline is just crazy. Novak doesn’t lose matches,…
Montreal is delivering up some fantastic match-ups this week. I really wish these kind of tournaments were spread out over like ten days. It just feels so rushed and I cannot keep up! I’m focusing on the WTA matches for Thursday as I haven’t had time to do an ATP preview. I have included the Toronto…
Much of the talk on Wednesday was in relation to Eugenie Bouchard’s bizarre 6-0 2-6 6-0 loss to Shelby Rogers. Many of the Genie-haters came out to play after the loss. Where I agree with the exhausting hype, Genie has rightfully earnt it with her showings at the Grand Slams this year. I feel we are…
I only got to watch a little bit of the tennis on Tuesday, but what I did see in the match between Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Venus Williams was good stuff. Venus came through in the end, 6-1 3-6 6-2. The second set was high quality and there were plenty of hard hitting and brutal rallies. …
