Read on for a Set Points round-up from Friday’s quarter-finals in Toronto.…
The second round is in the books at the 2019 Rogers Cup. It’s been a good week so far and there have been so many closely contested matches. On Wednesday, seven of the 13 matches went the distance with just the one seed going out in the last match of the day where Iga Swiatek…
The first round is in the books at the 2019 Rogers Cup and the second round is underway after a busy day in Toronto. It was another day of upsets with 5 of the 6 seeds in action going out and so much happening at night. I feel so many of these “upsets” have caveats…
I wasn’t sure if I was ready to jump back into the whirlwind of tennis yet but the draw for Toronto has me hooked with so many exciting first round matches. I just hope the tournament delivers with the promise of this draw. Day 1 was a good start! I’m super busy at work right…

In recent years, the craziness of the schedule has taken away from the occasion with so many great matches clashing with each other. I thought this year’s scheduling…
I thought it was about time that I did one of my detailed guides for Wimbledon. I’m lucky enough to live just 25 miles away from one of the four Slams and have been very fortunate over the years to visit Wimbledon. Despite being so close, every year is always a challenge trying to get…
The first week of Wimbledon is in the books and the slate of last 16 matches is all set. It was a shame that the women’s matches were so bunched together on Saturday’s schedule, much like on Manic Monday. I enjoyed my two days at Wimbledon and have two final days of holiday before heading…
