And that’s it for Rome! The Internazionali BNL d’Italia concluded on Sunday as Serena Williams won her first title of 2016. I can’t believe that the French Open starts this time next week. Just to let you all know that my coverage for the French Open will be muted this year. I’m actually going on holiday in…
The 2016 Internazionali BNL d’Italia final will be an-all American affair between the world number one, Serena Williams and the unseeded, Madison Keys. Before the tournament got underway, I don’t think there were many people, if anyone, predicting Keys to make the final. The 21-year-old has consistently played down her chances on clay. The French Open…
The semi-finals for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia are set and two of the top three seeds are present!

It’s been said a few times this week but once again, HELMETS AT THE READY! The first of the semi-finals at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia will be contested between the number three seed, Garbiñe Muguruza and Madison Keys at 12pm local time in Rome. Into her first semi-final of 2016, things finally seem to be…
Here’s a quick Set Points post to wrap up Thursday’s third round action at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome. Thursday night is when i’m actually on the tennis court as it’s my tennis club night… so for reference, i’ll always be a little bit quieter on Thursday! I played horribly tonight but it’s so much fun to play…
Third round action will take place on Thursday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome. There wasn’t one match that really stood out but they all interest me so I thought i’d go all out and do a sweep of mini-previews for all eight third round matches… this includes Kuznetsova v Gavrilova, Suárez Navarro v…
In yesterday’s Set Points, I wrote that it had been a pretty quiet start to the week in Rome… of course, that all changed on Wednesday! All the remaining top eight seeds were out in force and of the six that played, just one survived! The upset train was chuffing into action once more as…
There were a couple of entertaining matches on Tuesday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia but so far, there have been no major upsets and it’s been a pretty quiet start. Four seeds were in action on day two of main draw action in Rome and all four won in straight sets with the first of…
Pray for the tennis balls in Rome… Petra Kvitova and Madison Keys will meet for the fourth time on tour but the first time on clay in the last match up on Center Court in Rome on Wednesday night. Keys won her first round match against Andrea Petkovic, 6-4 6-1. It was a brutal draw,…
After their semi-final in Prague didn’t go ahead, the draw gods have got their wish… two of the WTA’s most accomplished clay courters, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Sam Stosur, will play third up on court 1 on Wednesday’s schedule of second round matches in Rome. Kuznetsova got off to a winning start in Rome, defeating Caroline…
