That’s a wrap for the 2019 Australian Open: Osaka d. Kvitova to win back-to-back Slams

I’ve been away for most of this weekend so have only now had a chance to write about Saturday’s final between Naomi Osaka and Petra Kvitova which was yet another absorbing match at this year’s Australian Open. In my opinion, it has been a terrific Slam. The week began with a surprising lack of chaos.…

Thursday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 11: Naomi Osaka vs. Petra Kvitova for the title

The final is all set for the 2019 Australian Open and it’s set to be another cracker. The recent Slam finals on paper have all been very exciting and this one, featuring Petra Kvitova and Naomi Osaka, is right up there. More on Saturday’s final in this post (spoiler alert – i’m torn) and highlights…

Wednesday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 10: Kvitova vs. Collins, Osaka vs. Pliskova in the SFs

The semi-finals are all set at the 2019 Australian Open. The quarter-finals ended with one of the most dramatic matches of the tournament so far. The Australian summer of tennis is drawing to a close!  This post rounds up the highlights from Tuesday and Wednesday’s quarter-finals, as well as a look ahead to Thursday’s semi-finals.…

Monday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 8: Collins stuns Kerber, a Serena-Simona blockbuster

The quarter-finals are all set at the 2019 Australian Open after two days of exciting action. I was hoping to get a post out yesterday but I had a few medical issues last night. I’m feeling a bit better now so am continuing my half-written post from yesterday and adding on today’s round-up. I think…

Saturday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 6: Svitolina & Osaka survive scares to reach the second week

The match-ups heading into the second week of the 2019 Australian Open are looking MEGA. In the top half of the draw, six of the eight top 16 seeds have made it to the second week with the only exceptions being the number 17 and 18 seeds, Madison Keys and Garbiñe Muguruza respectively. There are…

Friday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 5: Sharapova beats Wozniacki, Anisimova continues to impress

Friday was the most interesting day of the tournament so far with a couple of shocks as eight players advanced to the second week of the 2019 Australian Open. I’m so happy it is the weekend and am looking forward to two days of getting to chill out in front of the tennis. Back to…

Thursday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 4: A Muguruza-Konta late night/morning thriller!

It’s been a shocking start to the tournament in the sense there have been so few shocks and the top eight seeds are all into the third round. On Thursday, Carla Suárez Navarro was the only seed to fall but her opponent, Dayana Yastremska, was actually the favourite before the match. One advantage to the…

Wednesday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 3: Birrell beats Vekic, Bencic-Putintseva delivers drama

Four seeds fell on day 3 of the 2019 Australian Open. The top eight seeds though all remain in the tournament with a cracking line-up of third round matches set in the bottom half for Friday. There was the odd highlight on Wednesday but it doesn’t feel like this tournament has really taken off just…

Tuesday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 2: Halep and V.Williams survive testing openers

The top half took to the stage on Tuesday at the Australian Open. It was another strangely uneventful day with just three seeds going out. That’s six seeds out through the first two days – not many at all compared to recent Slams! After a long day at work, i’m already flagging 😴😂. Read on…

Monday’s Set Points, AO 2019 Day 1: Sakkari & Collins upset seeds, Putintseva-Strycova handshake!

The first day of the 2019 Australian Open is in the books! It was actually a pretty quiet day for the women with just three seeds falling. There have been some first days of the Australian Open where there have been upsets galore so I was prepared to be shocked. I woke up naturally at…
