2021 WTA Madrid, Quarter-Final Highlights: Barty, Badosa, Pavs & Sabalenka into the last four

The quarter-finals at the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open are in the books as Ash Barty, Paula Badosa, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the final four. Semi-finals are up on the schedule for Thursday before a day off on Friday ahead of Saturday’s showpiece. Read on for Thursday’s diary from Madrid. QF Highlights (1)…

2021 WTA Madrid, Tuesday R3 Highlights: Mertens upsets Halep, Pavs’s best result in a while

Both halves of the draw now come together as all four quarter-finals will be played on Wednesday at the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open. A shorter post today as the matches all seemed to fall at awkward times and two of them, the ones discussed in this post, went past the two hour 30 minute mark.…

2021 WTA Madrid, Monday R3 Highlights: Barty beats Swiatek in clash of Roland Garros champs

The first two quarter-finals are all set at the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open. Monday was a great day of tennis with highlights in all four of the third round matches. I wish every weekend could be a Bank Holiday. I’m looking forward to having a few days off to watch the tennis during the first…

2021 WTA Madrid, Sunday R2 Highlights: Another huge win for Muchova, Sabalenka’s 40 winners

I loved the first match of the day between Naomi Osaka and Karolina Muchova, which is the focus of today’s post. The rest of the day was mostly meh with straight setters all the way and the last match of the day scheduled for the Manolo Santana court never happening. My expectations are stupidly high…

2021 WTA Madrid, Saturday R2 Highlights: Kvitova beats Kerber, Barty & Swiatek set up first meeting

Yay for the Bank Holiday Weekend. It was bliss to watch uninterrupted tennis this afternoon with the second round matches from the top half of the draw played out in Madrid. This tournament hasn’t quite kicked into gear yet. I’m excited about some of Monday’s matches from this half of the draw though. More on…

2021 WTA Madrid, Friday R1 Highlights: Pliskova overcomes Gauff, Brady snaps the streak

The first round is in the books for the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open. The first two days have been largely uneventful with 14 of the 15 seeds progressing to the next round. I’ve historically hated the Madrid tournament but i’ve slowly come round to it in recent years and am looking forward to a chilled…

2021 WTA Madrid, Thursday R1 Highlights: Teichmann stuns Svitolina, saves 6 match points!

Hola Madrid! The 2021 edition of the Mutua Madrid Open is the debut of the extended tournament with a Thursday main draw start. It does feel weird to be starting on a Thursday but I quite like how the matches will be more spaced out in the earlier rounds because it’s normally carnage at the…

2021 WTA Stuttgart: Barty battles back, wins 3rd title of the season

The 2021 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is officially in the books as Ash Barty won her third title of 2021, beating Aryna Sabalenka in Sunday’s final, 3-6 6-0 6-3. I was hoping to blog all week but other things got in the way and then was meeting some family and friends this weekend for the…

2021 WTA Stuttgart, Wednesday Highlights: Kontaveit serves her way past Kenin, Barty into QFs

Wednesday’s order of play at the 2021 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix was a mix of first round and second round matches. My schedule is always suited more to the evening matches so Wednesday’s Stuttgart diary is centred on the second rounders which included first ever showings on the Stuttgart clay for the number one seed,…

2021 WTA Stuttgart, Tuesday R1 Highlights: Clutch Kvitova d. Brady in star studded opener

Day 2 of main draw action at the 2021 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is in the books. I feel like you notice the absence of fans more indoors and particularly in a tournament like Stuttgart where it was always well attended. Trying to be positive that there is even a tournament this year! Tuesday’s diary…
