Here’s my final post from Eastbourne with my favourite photos from four days at the Aegon International. I can’t wait to go back next year and I’m contemplating going for longer. If you can get to Eastbourne, I couldn’t recommend it more. I hope you’ve enjoyed all the pictures and perhaps persuaded some WTA fans to go in the future. I’m exhausted but it’s been so much fun. Wimbledon is just around the corner and I’m off work for ALL OF IT! I’ll be at Wimbledon next Friday so there will be more grass court photos and I’m hoping to try and get tickets for next Tuesday as its my birthday. For now, here is a collection of my favourite photos from Eastbourne. Enjoy…

Nice Pictures James, with some action shots.
Yes, the draw is out and Bencic gets Pironkova. Tough luck! Timea Bacsinsky gets Julia Georges , Sloane gets Babs, Lucie gets a doozy in a Riske fashion. I think the other Lucie gets to play Radwanska. Konta’s summer heroics ends before she even starts on the big stage with Sharapova.
Lol……I think Victoria Azarenka has Serena all over again!!! Top heavy draw again.

final post? no preview for Radwanska vs Bencic?
Anyways, I wasnt impressed with Radwanska’s body language today in the second and third sets. Also she has trouble serving out sets, she should have served it out leading 6-5 in the second set, she was passive in her ground strokes in that game. Mentally, she was excellent against Pliskova and Pironkova, I didnt see it that much today. I think this is Radwanska’s first 3 sets win in 2015.
Even though Sloane took the second set I still wasnt convinced Sloane would win, she was very up and down, no consistency at all. Radwanska stayed in the third set (though not fully in my opinion) and won in the end because Sloane was way too up and down.
I am leading towards Bencic to win the final, she seems ready to win her first WTA title. She is playing very well, knows how to control nerves and has the game to deal with Radwanska. All of the hard hitters were finding it difficult to get into rhythm against Radwanska because of the game that Radwanska plays, also Radwanska didnt seem bothered by the pace of groundstrokes in all of her matches this week. She dealt with the pace quite well in my opinion.
I am going for Bencic in one tight and one easy set.

She got beat to it by her friend and juniors player Ana Konjuh in Notts. That should be motivation enough for Bencic. However, Aga wont be a cakewalk. Pliskova and Pironkova are out and out base liners. Sloane is less so and although she can hit a mean ball, she tempers her game sometimes and seeks for good openings. Aga had to be more careful and play good rallies. She may have to do same with Bencic who also plays the waiting game. It may end being a good match. I’m just glad Radwanska is alive and playing better tennis now.
