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 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…
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…

The finals of Sydney and Hobart were played on Saturday and attention now switches to the Australian Open with play set to on Monday. It’s been an exciting day for me as I have just bought a house and got the keys last night! I’m hoping to move in at the start of February so…
Saturday’s final in Sydney is a tantalising prospect with Ash Barty going up against Petra Kvitova. I’m in nowhere prepared for the Australian Open which starts on Monday! I’ve just sat down to do my ATP draw and will focus on the WTA over the weekend. I’m going to share my thoughts but no idea…
The quarter-finals are set at the 2019 Sydney International with half of the seeds still remaining in the tournament. We’re fast approaching the first Slam of the year with the draw set to be unveiled for the Australian Open. The draw ceremony is stated to start at 6pm in Melbourne on Thursday night which would…
The second week of the season is a much quieter affair with just the two WTA tournaments in Sydney and Hobart. I’ll be focusing on Sydney this week which, despite a late flurry of withdrawals, has still attracted a superb line-up with six of the world’s top 10. After a lovely long break over Christmas,…
