While the first of the 2015 Wimbledon semi-finals was expected, the second one, which will feature Agnieszka Radwanska and Garbine Muguruza is more unexpected. Radwanska has had a poor year by her standards; before the grass court season started, her best results were a quarter-final appearance in Doha and a semi-final showing in Katowice. The…
You may remember that just over a month ago, I wrote about a new innovation developed by former doubles player Andy Ram called Pulse Play, a wearable wristband and application designed to serve amateur racket sport players a professional experience. I’m pleased to say that Pulse Play achieved their $75,000 funding goal on Indiegogo. The…
The two highest seeds in the top half of the women’s draw have progressed to the Wimbledon semi-finals which will be played on Thursday.

Equipped with a dreamy draw, Madison Keys has snapped up her berth in the final eight of Wimbledon. Last year, she won Eastbourne but then an injury forced to retire from a delayed third round match against Yaroslava Shvedova. This year she lost early in Eastbourne, trounced in fact by Belinda Bencic, 6-2 6-2. She…
Perhaps it’s just me but this is my FAVOURITE of the women’s quarter-finals. Garbine Muguruza and Timea Bacsinszky have reached back-to-back quarter-finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon which is an awesome effort from both. Even more noteworthy is that Muguruza and Bacsinszky had never previously made it past the second round at Wimbledon. Both Garbine…
For the first time since 2011, Maria Sharapova is into the last eight at Wimbledon. A longer break since Roland Garros and a neat draw have helped Maria progress through her first four rounds without the loss of any sets. Sharapova was tested in her fourth round match against Zarina Diyas but ultimately prevailed, 6-4…
For the second Slam in a row, we have a Serena Williams v Victoria Azarenka match to look forward to. While they met in the third round at Roland Garros, deemed far too early by EVERYONE, this time round it’s a little more fitting that they will play in a quarter-final. Azarenka has had some…
