The 2014 Wimbledon Championships concluded with an awesome men’s final and arguably the match of the year as Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer, 6-7(7) 6-4 7-6(4) 5-7 6-4 to win his second Wimbledon title. I don’t have a great deal to add to it. It was THE BEST. Djokovic served for the match in…
Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will bring the curtain down on the 2014 Wimbledon Championships. It’s been another awesome Wimbledon although I can’t hide my disappointment at the two men’s semi-finals that took place on Thursday. In the first match, Djokovic edged Grigor Dimitrov in four sets, 6-4 3-6 7-6(2) 7-6(7). It was an insanely…
The second of the men’s semi-finals will see another first time Grand Slam semi-finalist, Milos Raonic battle against one of the greats in Roger Federer. Raonic overcame Nick Kyrgios in a tough four setter on No.1 Court, 6-7(4) 6-2 6-4 7-6(4). It was an entertaining match considering the predictably high quality of serving and number…
Grigor Dimitrov prevented a repeat of the 2013 Wimbledon final (lucky us) as he produced a sensational display to beat Andy Murray and set up a tantalising semi-final with Novak Djokovic. I’m relieved that Murray has gone out because the BBC coverage in the UK has been absolutely exhausting. Even today they were midway through…
Nick Kyrgios produced the upset of the tournament and the upset of the entire year as he knocked out Rafael Nadal in four sets in a gripping Centre Court battle. After progressing through what looked liked a tricky first three rounds, it emerged that his fourth round match was the most dangerous! I really didn’t…
WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. Play will begin at 12pm on Centre Court and No.1 Court, which both have three matches. All four mens quarters look fascinating on paper and are likely to kick off from about 2pm. Here is the first part of the mens quarter-final preview featuring the quarters from the top…
The third round mens matches still left on the schedule after week one were completed on Monday. Matches involving Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were held back so that all four of the last 16 match-ups from the bottom half of the mens draw will be completed on Tuesday. The mens quarter-finals will be played…
Saturday was a crazy day. The schedule on the outside courts was seriously curtailed by the rain meaning that there are still five third round matches to finish, two of which, didn’t even begin. Therefore I have split up the Magic Monday previews because there is a possibility that only the top half of the…
The match of the day on Friday on the mens side was Grigor Dimitrov’s five set victory over Alexandr Dolgopolov. Dimitrov came from two sets to one down to claim an absolutely HUGE victory. He will be the heavy favourite to reach the quarter-finals. My predictions have been poor lately, but Wimbledon has started well…
The match of the day on the mens side saw a truly staggering victory for Nick Kyrgios who came from two sets down and saved NINE match points to beat Richard Gasquet, 10-8 in the fifth set. This was a phenomenal victory. A projected Monfils v Gasquet third round match has now turned into Kyrgios…
