It’s my favourite time of the year as the start of the 2018 Wimbledon Championships is drawing closer! The draw was announced on Friday morning and we know that the bottom half will kick things off on Monday. This preview showcases my three favourite first round matches set for Monday. I’ll be off work Monday…
Thursday was quarter-finals day in Eastbourne with two of the four matches going all the way to a third set tiebreak. The focus on Friday will be the semi-finals and the Wimbledon draw. I will be eagerly listening at 10am on Wimbledon radio and hoping no one bothers me at work 😂. Read on for 10…
Wednesday was my last day in sunny Eastbourne. I don’t think we will ever get a better weather week than this one. It was another memorable week – the highlight was definitely the one-to-one interview with Johanna Konta. While a good week, i’m happy to be home and eager to catch up on sleep. Eastbourne…
Tuesday was another glorious sunny day in Eastbourne… what is this MADNESS? There were 14 second round matches and it was my favourite day of the trip so far as I tried to cover as many of the matches as possible. I’ll be heading home on Wednesday but hope to try and catch the first…
Daria Kasatkina won just her fifth career match on grass, battling back from a set down to beat Alison Van Uytvanck in her second round match in Eastbourne, 5-7 6-4 6-1. My last live experience of watching Dasha in Melbs was rather disastrous so i’m really glad I got to see her finish with a…
Monday was the busiest day of the tournament so far and also the warmest! Today was a mix of live tennis with some press too from WTA All Access Hour. I’m bracing myself for Tuesday which is going to be even busier. There are so many matches that I want to try and follow! Read…
Sunday is always my favourite day in Eastbourne as the WTA main draw begins and there are no ticket restrictions so you can pick and choose where to sit on Centre Court. It was another glorious day filled with sunshine. It was very relaxed compared to Saturday as I spent my day hopping between Centre,…
On Saturday I got the opportunity to do a one-on-one interview with Johanna Konta on the Eastbourne Centre Court. This was my first ever one-to-one with a player and i’m still freaking about it! So the story… Jo was advertised to do a pre-tournament press conference on Saturday. I went to the media centre ready…
Greetings from Eastbourne! This is my eighth year in a row visiting Devonshire Park and my third year covering the tournament as media with the blog. Unlike the most recent years that have been largely cold, windy and damp, the next week is set to be a scorcher! Saturday was almost a perfect weather day…
It was a much quieter day in Birmingham on Wednesday with the first quartet of second round matches. Thursday’s schedule looks great although i’m not sure I will get to watch much of it as it’s tennis night and probably my last one for a while with all the tennis festivities coming! This will likely…
