Following the conclusion of the final women’s match of the day on Twitter (and with a spotty internet connection haha) between Daria Kasatkina and Kiki Bertens has destroyed me… Bertens missed five match points and then Kasatkina twice failed to serve out the match. Bertens eventually won, 10-8 in the decider. A huge win for Kiki (in…
Day 6 Halep d. Osaka, 4-6 6-2 6-3 – Not surpised to see Osaka push Halep to three. I saw the end of the match and Osaka threw in a poor game to get broken at *3-4 in the third set. Still, i’m so excited about her potential and i’d guess her game might stack…

Rainnnnnn opened proceedings for day 2 at Roland Garros but thankfully it abated from lunchtime and there were no more stoppages with a full evening of play. These first days of Slams are so much fun but also HECTIC as it’s impossible to follow everything! Previews of first round matches set for Tuesday can be found for…
The opening day of the 2016 French Open at Roland Garros was a rain-drenched affair as just ten singles matches were completed. In fact, it was much better than expected as the weather forecast had implied there was a strong possibility of a complete washout. The only match to be completed on Phillipe Chatrier staked…
