Lets take a look at some of the second round matches that will take place in Moscow and Luxembourg later today and tomorrow… Venus Williams 1. Venus Williams v Mona Barthel (Luxembourg) Mona Barthel made a stunning start to the season where she won the title in Hobart and made a name for herself in…
I have updated my predictions for Moscow and Luxembourg, which were a mixed bag. For Moscow I went 4/4 as Urszula Radwanska eased past a woeful Francesca Schiavone, 6-3 6-1. Lucie Safarova was forced into a final set by the interesting Russian wildcard, Margarita Gasparyan but eventually came through 6-3 4-6 6-2. In Luxembourg, I…
The end to the 2012 tennis season for the women is fast approaching as we enter the final week of tournaments in Moscow and Luxembourg. It has been an especially long season this year with the Olympics and my predictions lately have been just as tired as the players! Lets see if I can go…
Heather Watson Today was a historic day for British tennis as Heather Watson won the title in Osaka to become the first British woman to win a WTA title since 1988. Watson beat Chang Kai-Chen in a dramatic final that lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes. Both players had match points before Watson eventually wrapped…
My predictions unfortunately flopped in the the semi-finals with Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic progressing to the final… I fancy Djokovic to win it in three sets. I will be back later to provide previews for next week’s tournaments!

The Top 4 of 3rd Round Shanghai Matches Andy Murray 1. Andy Murray v Alexandr Dolgopolov Andy Murray received a walkover into the third round after Florian Mayer was forced to retire with a rib injury. This is unlikely to favour Murray who has yet to take to the fast hard courts of Shanghai. His…
Almagro is out of Shanghai I have updated my prediction chart for Shanghai where I have made a very solid start by correctly predicting 12 and 13 winners on the first two days of action. Today saw Tommy Haas caused the first minor upset with a come-from-behind victory to take out the number 9 seed…
Victoria Azarenka claimed her fifth title of the season and her first since winning Indian Wells with a 6-3 6-1 victory over Maria Sharapova. It was a pretty uninspiring match with both producing more unforced errors to winners; Sharapova hit 18 winners to 39 unforced errors and I think you would be hard pushed to…
