WTA Charleston, Semi-Final Preview: Andrea Petkovic v Angelique Kerber

Major YAY to this one… for the first time in over four years, Andrea Petkovic and Angelique Kerber will play each other in the second of the Family Circle Cup semi-finals on Saturday.  The pair have played nine times before on the WTA tour with Kerber winning their first six encounters and Petkovic winning their…

WTA Charleston, Semi-Final Preview: Madison Keys v Lucie Hradecka

It’s amazing how quickly things can turn around in tennis.  After a painful second round loss to Sloane Stephens in Miami, Madison Keys has gone on the rampage in Charleston, losing just nine games in her first three matches.  In her dance through the draw, Keys has beaten Kateryna Bondarenko, Andreea Mitu and fellow American,…

Andrea and Jelena are offically hysterical

If you haven’t seen the latest video offering from the Family Circle Cup then do watch the behind-the-scenes video featuring Andrea Petkovic and Jelena Jankovic.  I think this will be my go to video when i’m feeling low! The pair could have met in the quarter-finals, but Jankovic was forced to pull out of her third…

WTA Charleston, Quarter-Final Preview: Angelique Kerber v Irina-Camelia Begu

The 2015 Family Circle Cup has been dominated by upsets with 7 of the 16 seeds falling before the third round.  At the start of the week, it would have been a safe bet that Angelique Kerber would have been one of those seeds falling early.  Since Melbourne, Kerber had won just two WTA main…

WTA Charleston, 3rd Round Preview: Jelena Jankovic v Danka Kovinic

Jelena Jankovic continues to dazzle at the Family Circle Cup, both on and off the court (mainly off the court!) and is into the third round where she will play Danka Kovinic.  Jankovic made things difficult for herself against Tatjana Maria in their second round encounter but eventually came through in three sets, 6-3 6-7(6) 6-1…

WTA Charleston, 2nd Round Previews for Wednesday: Kovinic v Bencic, Barthel v Stephens

1. Danka Kovinic v Belinda Bencic (Charleston, R2) In a first career meeting, Belinda Bencic and Danka Kovinic will meet in Charleston on Wednesday.  Considering their respective journeys on tour, it came as a surprise to learn that Kovinic is two years older than Bencic.  Kovinic, currently ranked at 121 in the world, has made…

Match Recap, Charleston R1: Mona Barthel d. Timea Babos, 6-3 6-3

 The main draw of the 2015 Family Circle Cup in Charleston kicked off today with Mona Barthel progressing into the second round after a convincing 6-3 6-3 victory over Timea Babos in 70 minutes.  Mona’s last outing in Charleston was a disappointing straight sets loss to Jessica Pegula in 2013, but this was a much…

WTA Charleston 2015: Preview and Predictions

The tennis season keeps trundling along and next week will feature one of my favourite WTA tournaments of the entire year in Charleston.  I always get a really good vibe from Charleston and I am especially looking forward to this year’s edition as I was on holiday this time last year.  Unfortunately, it is one…

Racket Rally Standings for the Moo’s Tennis Blog league: Update 6th April, 2015

Oh dear.  Miami was a terrible tournament for my Racket Rally team with only one of my players reaching the quarter-finals in Kei Nishikori.  I’m in desperate need of a reshuffle, but I keep forgetting when i come to make my picks that I need to have the potential MVP in my mind! This week,…
