1. Andrea Petkovic v Sara Errani (RG, R3) In a repeat of last year’s Roland Garros quarter-final, Andrea Petkovic and Sara Errani will meet in the third round this year. Petkovic’s participation was in doubt after her clay court season was halted by illness and injury. Petkovic pulled out of her first round match in…
1. Angelique Kerber v Garbine Muguruza (RG, R3) A couple of days before Roland Garros, Angelique Kerber was forced to withdraw from Nurnberg with a back injury. There were concerns over her participation at the French Open but they proved to be futile. I’m so annoyed with myself for paying attention to those fears! Kerber…
A blockbuster third round match is set for Roland Garros on day 6 as Maria Sharapova will face her first significant test of the fortnight against the in-form, Sam Stosur. Generally speaking, the Aussie has had a disappointing year; through the first eight tournaments of the year, Stosur failed to win back-to-back matches. Fortunes changed…
My favourite WTA match on Thursday’s line-up is all the way out on court 7 featuring Belinda Bencic and Madison Keys who will play each other for the first ever time. Both players have struggled during the clay court season, but this promises to be a fascinating match between two different styles of play. Bencic…
I have so many things that I want to write about from my two days at Roland Garros. It won’t come as a surprise to many of you that the highlight of my trip was watching Lucie win her first round match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. I was disappointed to miss the match between Ivanovic v…
In one of the most anticipated first round women’s matches at RG15, Kristina Mladenovic caused another seeded upset as she took out Eugenie Bouchard in straight sets, 6-4 6-4. Mladenovic had been close to the bagel in the second set before Genie mounted a substantial comeback. Originally, I had been very confident that Mladenovic would…
I just got back from two GREAT days at Roland Garros… I have soooo much to share! I’ll be posting plenty of photos, reviews of matches and of the general Roland Garros experience over the next week so please stay tuned! I plan to get back to previewing matches although please bear with me as…
1. Venus Williams v Sloane Stephens (Roland Garros, R1) The match that stood out to me most on the drawsheet from the selection of first round matches is in the top half featuring two Americans, Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens. The pair were set to meet in a highly anticipated third round match in Miami…
This year i’ve generally taken a backseat on following the ATP tour here on Moo’s Tennis Blog. I’ve still been following it, but I haven’t had the time to do previews and also, I feel I can do the WTA more justice. I’ll be at Roland Garros on Sunday and Monday, and will have some…
The 2015 clay court season is about to reach a chrescendo as Roland Garros looms on the horizon with main draw action set to begin on Sunday. I’m heading to Paris on Saturday and will be at RG for the first two days, which i’m a little bit excited about! I’ll try and get some…
