One of my favourite things about attending tennis tournaments is watching matches on the outside courts. Over the past couple of years, i’ve been lucky enough to have a whole range of tickets at Wimbledon and to be honest, some of my favourite days have been on the first days of the Championships where I…
1. Petra Kvitova v Timea Bacsinszky (RG, R4) The second quarter of the women’s draw has thrown up some wonderful storylines with three of the four players reaching the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time in their career. Timea Bacsinszky achieved that feat with a tactically superb performance to defeat an…
1. Serena Williams v Sloane Stephens (RG, R4) In the most anticipated women’s match of the tournament so far, Serena Williams came from a set and a break down to defeat Victoria Azarenka for the second time this year. It was a compelling match with plenty of talking points. Azarenka looked to be on her…
My second day at Roland Garros was on court 1 or as it is often referred to, the Bullring. I wanted to try and get tickets for Philippe Chatrier, but only the expensive ones were left so I thought why not court 1. It looks a great court to watch tennis, at least on the…
1. Maria Sharapova v Lucie Safarova (RG, R4) Lucie, Lucie, LUCIE! OK i’m sorry for those that don’t have an attachment to Lucie but i’m excited! For the second year in a row, Lucie is into the second week of Roland Garros. This may not seem like a big deal but before this event last…
1. Ana Ivanovic v Ekaterina Makarova (RG, R4) The last time that Ekaterina Makarova and Ana Ivanovic played each other, I was a student. I remember getting up early to watch the end of this match before a lecture. It was at the Australian Open where Makarova caused a sizeable upset to defeat Ivanovic in…
A quick post to acknowledge what we just saw with our eyes. In the most anticipated women’s match of the tournament so far, Serena Williams came from a set and a break down to defeat Victoria Azarenka, 3-6 6-4 6-2 in a compelling third round match. There were so many talking points to this match,…
For the first day of Roland Garros 2015, I was lucky enough to get tickets for Suzanne Lenglen Court. Before I left for Paris, I was desperate to know the order of play, so much so, that I was refreshing the schedule page on the French Open practically every minute! Anyway, when it eventually came,…
Serena v Vika is the obvious highlight of the women’s schedule but i’ve also got my eye on another intriguing third rounder featuring Madison Keys and Timea Bacsinszky. The pair have never played before and both appear to be in good form heading into this match. Keys defeated Belinda Bencic on Thursday, 6-0 6-3. I…
The potential women’s match that jumped out of the drawsheet has become a reality with Serena Williams to play Victoria Azarenka on Saturday. Serena and Vika have played at all three Slams, but this will be their first clash on the Parisien clay. Serena had another second round RG scare, but this time survived. Serena…
