WTA Sydney 2015: Preview and Predictions

Are you keeping up? Sadly, I don’t have time to write about Maria Sharapova’s 6-7 6-3 6-3 win over Ana Ivanovic in the Brisbane final, but it was a great match.   In case you missed it, I have written a recap of the Auckland final between Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki HERE.  The main…

Match Recap, WTA Auckland Final: V.Williams d. Wozniacki, 2-6 6-3 6-3

I was tempted to stay up for the Auckland final last night, but sleep ruled in the end so I avoided checking the live scores and watched using the catch-up service on TennisTV.  If you watch a lot of tennis, i’d definitely recommend TennisTV… it’s been my saviour for the last year.  It was a…

WTA Brisbane Final Preview: Maria Sharapova v Ana Ivanovic

Saturday’s line-up in Brisbane is really quite special; the men’s semi-finals will open up the day session with Milos Raonic taking on Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer playing Grigor Dimitrov.  In the evening, the women will take centre stage as the top two seeds, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic battle it out for the first…

WTA Auckland Final Preview: Caroline Wozniacki v Venus Williams

For the second year in a row, the two highest profile players in the Auckland draw have come through to reach the final.  Venus Williams has made back-to-back finals in Auckland; last year she lost to Ana Ivanovic, 6-2 5-7 6-4, but this time round, she will take on the world number eight, Caroline Wozniacki.…

WTA Auckland, Shenzhen Semi-Finals: Preview of Friday’s Matches

There were some intriguing results on the ATP tour today.  Roger Federer was a set and a break down to the world number 153, John Millman in Brisbane before coming back to win in three sets. These close matches are normally a good thing and i’m sure it will help Federer tighten up his game. …

WTA Brisbane Semi-Finals Preview: Sharapova v Svitolina, Ivanovic v Lepchenko

In Hopman Cup action today, Serena Williams edged past Lucie Safarova in three tight sets, 6-3 6-7(1) 7-6(6).  It was an encouraging result for Lucie although she did have some chances to close out the match, having served for the win at *6-5 in the third set.  Once again, she came soooo close to a…

WTA Auckland Quarter-Finals Preview: Caroline Wozniacki v Julia Goerges

Today’s most uplifting news was that Juan Martin del Potro has confirmed that he will be playing Sydney and the Australian Open.  It’s great news although i’m still a bit concerned about how his wrists holds up and it sounds like he is still not 100% from his Facebook post.  Thursday is quarter-finals day in…

WTA Brisbane Quarter-Finals Preview: Angelique Kerber v Elina Svitolina

Second round action in Brisbane concluded on Wednesday with Ana Ivanovic’s 6-4 6-1 victory over Jarmila Gajdosova.  There were some impressive wins for the likes of Madison Keys, Karolina Pliskova and Ajla Tomljanovic early on, but it’s been disappointing to see none of them back it up in the second round.  The top three seeds…

WTA Auckland, 2nd Round Preview: Caroline Wozniacki v Taylor Townsend

On Wednesday, all eight second round matches will be played in Auckland.  Mona Barthel and Sara Errani both went out on Monday and Svetlana Kuznetsova joined them as a seeded casualty on Tuesday.  Kuznetsova is often a slow starter after a long break, but I was still surprised she lost to Lucie Hradecka, who is…

WTA Brisbane 2nd Round Preview: Ana Ivanovic v Jarmila Gajdosova

The first batch of second round matches took place in Brisbane on Tuesday with Maria Sharapova and Angelique Kerber both winning through in straight sets.  Sharapova needed just 62 minutes to get past the qualifier, Yaroslava Shvedova, 6-0 6-1.  Ajla Tomljanovic and Madison Keys were both unable to back up their upset wins in the first…
