One of Tomas Berdych and Stanislas Wawrinka will make the 2014 Australian Open men’s final. This tournament has been rather peculiar in that all the upsets are occurring at the business end. This is a huge, huge match for both players with fantastic chances for both to make the final. Here are my thoughts. Stanislas…
This year’s Australian Open women’s tournament has been thrown wide open with Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka all falling before the semi-finals in a Wimbledon-esque draw. One thing for sure is that there will be a new Australian Open champion and a 75% chance that there will be a new Grand Slam champion.…
Both favourites are now out of the Australian Open as Stanislas Wawrinka upset Novak Djokovic in another epic late night clash between the pair on Rod Laver Arena, 2-6 6-4 6-2 3-6 9-7. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I really am in shock at this result, but in equal measures to the shock, I am so happy for Stan after some tough,…
Day 8 was a shocker of a day for my predictions as Tsonga, Jankovic and Sharapova all departed this year’s Australian Open. On a positive note, I did correctly predict that Azarenka would beat Sloane in two sets despite all the media hype around that match. The match-ups each day are continuing to look more and more appealing and…
The men’s draw took a backseat today as the top eight seeds in action, Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer, Tomas Berdych and Stanislas Wawrinka all progressed to the quarter-finals in straight sets. Tomorrow, the match of the day will come from the men’s side as Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will play each other in the…
Wow. Sunday yielded the biggest upset of the tournament with Ana Ivanovic ousting Serena Williams in a three set win. A shout-out also to Flavia Pennetta, who took out Angelique Kerber, a result I was not expecting. The women’s line-up for Monday features four great matches, all of which deserved a full preview in my…
Every morning I wake up and scan through the results on the AO app on my phone and apart from a few results here and there that have caused a raised eyebrow or two, there haven’t been any massive shocks… until today that is. I still cannot believe that Ana Ivanovic has beaten Serena Williams…
Day 6 was a fantastic day for the up-and-coming WTA players on tour as Garbine Muguruza, Simona Halep and Sloane Stephens all won to join Eugenie Bouchard in the last 16. There is so much talent coming through and these are exciting times on the WTA tour. On the ATP side, Grigor Dimitrov had a…
There is no doubt that the matches on the schedule for Day 6 are the best of the tournament so far. There are some showcase clashes in both the men’s and women’s draws… and it’s the weekend woohoo! Wozniacki v Muguruza is the most interesting match of the week in my opinion so please do…
Day 4 was just what this year’s Australian Open needed with some fantastic matches from both draws and bucket loads of drama. I felt the day earnt a whole post to itself so here are my attempts to try and consolidate what happened on a rather epic day in Melbourne. TFF Dream Team Update: Werrahesse-team…
