And onto part two of the mega extravaganza of trying to recap Tuesday in Eastbourne… Part one is here! After a brief time to get some photos out, I headed back to the action to watch the first set of Karolina Pliskova against Daria Gavrilova, which was enjoyable despite the one-sided scoreline. I forgot how much…
Tuesday was a crazy day of tennis! First and second round singles matches were on the schedule, as well as doubles so naturally, trying to keep up with everything was impossible. I tried my best to cover all the outside courts (didn’t go on Centre once haha) as best I could and hereeee I am!…
Since the rain was beating down hard for much of the morning and afternoon, I took advantage of the opportunity to attend some the press conferences held as part of the All-Access Hour. It’s the first time i’ve ever been media so it was a new experience for me. Here are some of the highlights……
Monday was wet… very wet! I arrived to the grounds of Devonshire Park to very heavy rain and it never really abated throughout the morning. The grounds were beginning to get waterlogged and I walked past the umpire, Mariana Alves shouting oh my god at the developing puddles! Eventually play did get underway, but the outside…

The final match of the day that I watched on a fab Sunday order of play was Jelena Ostapenko v Daria Kasatkina out on court 1. Since I had never watched either player before in competitive action, it was a must to get some photos! I’ve also developed a real fondness for Daria and her game…
Since Centre Court was not streamed today, I made it my mission to track the first round match between Caroline Wozniacki and Alizé Cornet… a definite must watch! In the end, Wozniacki prevailed, 6-1 6-3 in one hour and 20 minutes. The first set was a damp squib, but there were some decent rallies in…
The 2016 Aegon International draw was conducted in Eastbourne on Saturday with main draw action set to get underway on Sunday. The line-up is very similar to last year with the two key omissions being the two Slam champs of 2016, Angelique Kerber and Garbiñe Muguruza. Check out my highlights from day 1 at the Aegon…
Hello again from Eastbourne! It’s so good to be here and to have a five day weekend from work haha. I’m chuffed to say that I have media accreditation for the Aegon International this year with Moo’s Tennis Blog. This means i’m getting through more pictures (and during the day!) as I have access to the media…
