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.…
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…
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 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.

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…

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…
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…
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…
