Saturday’s Set Points wraps up the week at the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Championships. I had a crazy busy week at work so wasn’t able to follow the tennis that closely and didn’t feel up to writing. I’m back home on the Isle of Wight for the weekend. I still call it home even though…
Tuesday was a mostly uneventful day in Dubai with six of the seven first round matches being decided in straight sets and the two seeds in action, Angelique Kerber and Caroline Garcia, both prevailing. All eight second round matches are up on Wednesday so here’s a sweeping preview of the matches to watch out for.…
Bye bye Doha, hello Dubai! Main draw action action at the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Championships began on Monday with five first round matches. I managed to catch up on a few of the matches around a very long day at work. It’s only Monday and i’m ready for the weekend 😭😂. WTA TV continues to…
I only bring out my favourite Petra pic for special occasions and this is a worthy moment. I have felt so moved by the tennis this weekend that I wanted to write about it. The 2018 Qatar Total Open came to a conclusion with my favourite match of the week. Petra Kvitova made it…
PETRA KVITOVA There was just the one semi-final today in Doha and it was another cracker!

Kvitova rallied from a set and a break down, and Wozniacki…
We’re getting to the business end of Doha with the semi-finals up on Saturday.

It’s such a shame because the last four line-up was totally lit! Read on for the highlights from Friday…
The last eight is all set at the 2018 Qatar Total Open in Doha with five of the top eight seeds still alive. There is just one unseeded player left in the draw in what has been a week of few shocks. There are many familiar faces left with five of the quarter-finalists having already…
The number six seed in Doha, Jelena Ostapenko is the highest seed to fall so far through three days of main draw action at the Qatar Total Open. All the other top ten seeds are into the last 16 with much of the draw intact. This is still quite a revelation as the WTA goes…
There were 17 matches on the schedule in Doha on Tuesday and only three of them went the distance. Today was a crappy day at work and I didn’t get to watch much tennis so no Set Points for Tuesday. Instead, since I am excited about Wednesday’s schedule, I am debuting a new sweeping day…
