Agnieszka Radwanska headlines a new WTA International event this week which will be held in Nottingham. This event has previously been an ITF event for the last few years and the winner will receive the Elena Baltacha trophy which is a lovely touch. After a first round loss to Annika Beck at Roland Garros, Radwanska…
The grass court season is upon is… hip hip, hooray! I love this time of the year. I need a break, but heyyy it’s the grass so I will power through. 2015 is the first year where there are three weeks before the start of the third Grand Slam at Wimbledon. I’m so thankful for…
Lucie and Beth won their second Grand Slam doubles title this year as they beat Yaroslava Shvedova and Casey Dellacqua in the final of the 2015 women’s doubles, 3-6 6-4 6-2. I’m so pleased that Lucie won one of her finals! Beth also won the mixed doubles title with Mike Bryan so this has been…
What a French Open… both finals were memorable for different reasons. I don’t if it’s just me but I feel like this tournament has felt really long. Big points were up for grabs in Racket Rally and i’m thrilled to say I had a great fortnight! I’ve stayed loyal with my five shares in Lucie…
Serena Williams defeated Lucie Safarova, 6-3 6-7(2) 6-2 to win her 20th Grand Slam title and 3rd Roland Garros title. I have a mixture of emotions right now. I was sad immediately at the end, but that’s slowly fading and now i’m beaming with pride. Firstly, congrats to Serena Williams. Personally i’m not a fan,…
I’ve been thinking about what I am going to write for the women’s final for several hours and i’ve still got no clue. It’s going to be messy but I hope you’ll stick with me as I try to sum up what’s going on, both with the tennis and in my head right now. Tweets…
The first of the women’s semi-finals at Roland Garros on Thursday will be contested between Ana Ivanovic and Lucie Safarova… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a surprising, yet in equal portions, compelling semi-final. I’m so excited for Lucie. I never expected her to do so well this fortnight. Pre-Paris, Safarova reached the quarter-finals of Madrid and the second…
The second of the women’s semi-finals at Roland Garros on Thursday will see the world number one, Serena Williams take on the world number 24, Timea Bacsinszky. Before this week, the third round was Timea’s best showing at a Grand Slam. By virtue of reaching her first ever Grand Slam semi-final, Bacsinszky will crack the…
For the past couple of years, I had wanted to visit Roland Garros but always put it off with the “oh I’ll do it next year”. It looked like the same would happen this year when my plans fell through beforehand. When the big release for tickets arrived in March, I thought i’d get in…
There have been some wonderful stories at this year’s Roland Garros and none more so than a Grand Slam quarter-final between Timea Bacsinszky and Alison Van Uytvanck. The pair have both broke new ground this week; Bacsinszky had never made it past the third round of a Grand Slam while Van Uytvanck had only ever…
