One of most underrated matches of the year at number 6 is a second round Wimbledon match between Kaia Kanepi and Angelique Kerber. On my first day of holiday during Wimbledon, this was one of the first matches I watched and it was one that fully captivated my attention. Kanepi has always been billed…

Number eight in my list is the final from Linz between Angelique Kerber and Ana Ivanovic. The tournament had all kinds of drama surrounding it this year as Kerber was awarded a late wildcard after the draw had already been made. It was reported that the Austrian player, Lisa-Maria Moser was forced to pull out…
Tokyo was one of my favourite tournaments of the entire year and in particular, the two semi-finals were both superb.

I have been blogging for over 3 years now at my old site, http://www.moo21tennis.blogspot.co.uk and I felt like it was time for a change. E-Blogger has been great for me to get my site up and running but over time, I have become frustrated with some of the features and found many pitfalls in trying…
THIS IS THE FINAL PREVIEW OF 2013! I was really looking forward to both semi-finals today, but in truth, both were damp squibs. Rafael Nadal was first to book his spot in the final as he overcame one wobble serving for the first set before strolling through the second to defeat an error-strewn, Roger Federer,…
So close to a perfect set of predictions through the group stage, but Federer against Del Potro destroys my 100% record! Semi-finals tomorrow and I must say, I have really enjoyed these World Tour Finals so far… 1. Roger Federer v Rafael Nadal Roger Federer The quality was not always there in Saturday’s decisive…
