WTA Sydney Quarter-Final Preview: Pironkova v Zahlavova Strycova

DELPO! I was delighted to wake up to the news that Juan Martin del Potro won his first match on his comeback from wrist surgery with a straight sets win over Sergiy Stakhovsky.  I’m hoping to find time to watch some of the match tonight! In an unsurprising turn of events, the Sydney draw is…

WTA Sydney 2nd Round Preview: A sweep through Tuesday’s matches

Rain affected the schedule in Sydney again on Monday, but all the matches were completed setting up a pretty special order of play for Tuesday.  I can understand the matches featuring Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic being on Ken Rosewall Aren (the top court), but then again, having the number one seed in Simona Halep…

ATP Sydney: The return of DELPO

So i’m excited about DelPo returning.  Win or lose, this guy brightens up the ATP tour and I can’t put into words how pleased I am to see him make a return to the tour.  Again, i’m not going to have any time for detailed ATP previews during the week (work is busy!), but predictions…

Caro and Venus speeches from the Auckland final: All kinds of awesomeness

I was searching everywhere for the final speeches from yesterday’s Auckland final between Caroline Wozniacki and Venus Williams.  Thanks to MrPieritoTennis on YouTube, who has included them in his highlights.  When you get a underwhelming final, the trophy ceremony is sometimes the best part.  The Caro-Venus final was actually pretty good, but the final speeches…

2015 Hopman Cup: Highlights from Lucie’s Matches and more…

Poland were crowned champions of the Hopman Cup today after Agnieszka Radwanska and Jerzy Janowicz won the pivotal mixed doubles rubber against Serena Williams and John Isner.  It was an exciting final match, which saw one point have to be replayed and all four players unhappy with the poor umpire.  Once again, i’ve found myself…

WTA Hobart 2015: Preview and Predictions

The second of the WTA events next week is in Hobart.  Casey Dellacqua, the world number 29, is the top seed in the draw.  The list of seeds isn’t particularly impressive, but it should pave the way for an interesting and open week.  Last year’s champion, Garbine Muguruza has opted to play in Sydney.  The…

WTA Sydney 2015: Preview and Predictions

Are you keeping up? Sadly, I don’t have time to write about Maria Sharapova’s 6-7 6-3 6-3 win over Ana Ivanovic in the Brisbane final, but it was a great match.   In case you missed it, I have written a recap of the Auckland final between Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki HERE.  The main…

Match Recap, WTA Auckland Final: V.Williams d. Wozniacki, 2-6 6-3 6-3

I was tempted to stay up for the Auckland final last night, but sleep ruled in the end so I avoided checking the live scores and watched using the catch-up service on TennisTV.  If you watch a lot of tennis, i’d definitely recommend TennisTV… it’s been my saviour for the last year.  It was a…

WTA Brisbane Final Preview: Maria Sharapova v Ana Ivanovic

Saturday’s line-up in Brisbane is really quite special; the men’s semi-finals will open up the day session with Milos Raonic taking on Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer playing Grigor Dimitrov.  In the evening, the women will take centre stage as the top two seeds, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic battle it out for the first…

WTA Auckland Final Preview: Caroline Wozniacki v Venus Williams

For the second year in a row, the two highest profile players in the Auckland draw have come through to reach the final.  Venus Williams has made back-to-back finals in Auckland; last year she lost to Ana Ivanovic, 6-2 5-7 6-4, but this time round, she will take on the world number eight, Caroline Wozniacki.…
