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…

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.

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.

Hello from a currently dry Eastbourne! Qualifying for the Aegon International begins on Saturday and main draw action on Sunday so my focus here on mootennis.com will now switch to this tournament.
