The weather and the schedule have messed up my plans for writing previews this week… I was going to cover two matches tonight but the second round matches in question have yet to be completed! It has just been confirmed that Middle Sunday will have play this year so it’s going to be a wild few days at…
Here’s the second part of my live round-up from day 4 of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. For the first part covering wins for Lucie Safarova and Timea Bacsinszky, click HERE. I had an amazing day (thanks to big bro for taking me!) and this part recaps some of the women’s matches that I watched on…
I’ve just got back from another amazing day at Wimbledon. It was a special day as it was my birthday and I got to see two of my favourite players, Lucie Safarova and Timea Bacsinszky both win their matches in straight sets. Read on for my recaps and photos. Note another Set Points round-up will…
It was another rainy day as tennis continues to get battered in Europe. June is normally a good month in the UK but the last few weeks have been just dreadful. They actually got more play completed today than I expected but there are 14 first round matches still to be played. Thursday’s schedule is…
In an intriguing second round match, the number 16 seed, Jo Konta will play the 2014 Wimbledon finalist, Eugenie Bouchard third up on Centre Court on Thursday. Konta had never won a match heading into SW19. Bumped up to a number 16 seed by virtue of Victoria Azarenka’s late withdrawal, Konta’s draw didn’t reflect this as…
Dominika Cibulkova and Daria Gavrilova finished their first round matches within the space of thirty seconds to set up a compelling second round encounter set for Thursday at Wimbledon. Cibulkova arrived at Wimbledon with a huge wedge of confidence following her first title on grass in Eastbourne. She faced a tricky first round opponent in…
Timea Babos will be seeking to reach the third round of a Slam in singles for the first time in her career when she faces the number 27 seed, CoCo Vandeweghe at Wimbledon on Thursday. Babos has had an excellent 2016 season in singles; while she has still played plenty of doubles, most recently with…
The first day of Slams are always hectic but Tuesday was slightly stunted by the rain which arrived at 4.30pm and wiped out play on the outside courts. With Wednesday’s forecast also looking dodgy, suddenly a backlog of matches looks likely. Hopefully the weather will abate to at least get all the first round matches…
Wednesday will see second round action begin at Wimbledon although the weather forecast is not looking too good! This post covers two women’s matches from the third quarter of the draw including Simona Halep v Francesca Schiavone and Mona Barthel v Kiki Bertens. For a round-up of day 1 action on the outside courts including…
On Monday I was lucky enough to get a court 3 ticket via Ticketmaster. Therefore, Monday’s Set Points (coming a little late as I needed to sleep!) is a photo round-up of my day. While I had Court 3 tickets, I actually spent it all on the outside courts. Note the regular round-ups will kick in today…
