In the first set of matches on day 2 of the 2014 US Open, Svetlana Kuznetsova became the highest seeded casualty in the women’s draw so far. She was defeated by Marina Erakovic, 3-6 6-2 7-6(3) on court 5. I expected this to be a horrible match when I started watching at the end of…
LEGENDS. Venus Williams and Kimiko Date-Krumm are two of the most well respected players on the WTA tour and the pair fought out a rollercoaster first round match on day one of the 2014 US Open. Venus won 2-6 6-3 6-3 in exactly two hours, fending off a late charge from the 43-year-old Japanese player. …
This promises to be another exciting Grand Slam for the women. Serena Williams leads the way as the favourite, but there are plenty of worthy contenders that could go all the way. I have deliberated over and over again about my finalists… it’s possible I have over thought it 😛 The draw seems nicely balanced…
Once again, i’m trying to gather as many people as I can for the TFF Dream Team fantasy game for the US Open. If you’re looking for a fantasy game, then why not join in! There are also two games on the US Open website; the Bracket Challenge and the Live Prediction Challenge. Unfortunately for…
Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer headline the 2014 US Open draw, which is without the defending champion, Rafael Nadal. On the topic of missing players, when I see a men’s draw like this one, I really miss DelPo. Hopefully we should see an appearance from Juan Martin del Potro before the end of the year. …
US Open draws are released this evening at 5pm UK time! The US Open is going to be fascinating with both draws set to be wide open. I felt really flat about last year’s US Open, but I am much more excited about the 2014 edition. I’ve got no idea who I will be picking…
Qualifying for the US Open has already begun and you can keep up to date with the draws HERE. Both singles draws will be out on Thursday. The final Grand Slam previews will be posted on Moo’s Tennis Blog on Friday and Saturday! If you missed it, I wrote a feature post about Lucie Safarova…
I’ve written so many previews for matches in the last few weeks that I thought it was time to branch out and do something different on Moo’s Tennis Blog. Hopefully this will become a new regular feature, but that will probably require the creation of new 30 hour days. There’s never enough time to do…

Serena Williams won her fifth title of the year with a 6-4 6-1 victory over Ana Ivanovic in the final of Cincinnati. Somewhat surprisingly, this is Serena’s first ever Cincy title. The match started promisingly in terms of being a contest with Ivanovic racing out into an early lead; however serving at *4-5 in…
