Time is nottt on my side tonight and I want to watch some of the WTA first round matches so a very quick preview for the ATP draw. I finally took the plunge and bought tickets for the French Open today! I’m reallyyyy excited, but now I need to get my skates on and book…
The joint tournament in Acapulco this week features a WTA international draw and an ATP 500 event. I have fond memories of watching the ATP event in Acapulco last year. There were some brilliant matches towards the end of the tournament with the semi-final between Grigor Dimitrov and Andy Murray a particular highlight. The crowds…
Dubai has once again attracted the cream of the crop of ATP players with Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych all in the draw for the 2015 Dubai Duty Free Championships. The draw is normally quite top-heavy in Dubai, but there is a lot more depth this year with all eight seeds…
On the first day of the 2015 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, Grigor Dimitrov saved two match points to defeat Paul-Henri Mathieu, 4-6 7-6(2) 6-2 to set up a second round tie with Gilles Muller. Dimitrov looked to be heading out of the tournament after a sloppy start to his first rounder. Mathieu…
Four of the world’s top ten are in Rotterdam including the Australian Open finalist, Andy Murray. The ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, which is an ATP 500 event, always attracts a solid line-up and this year is no different.

Soooo… the Australian Open concluded with Novak Djokovic defeating Andy Murray in four sets, 7-6(5) 6-7(4) 6-3 6-0 to win his fifth Australian Open title.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will contest the Australian Open for the third time in their career when the pair meet on Sunday to wrap up the 2015 Australian Open Championships. Murray was first into the final with a four set victory over Tomas Berdych, 6-7(6) 6-0 6-3 7-5. After a feisty opening set in…
The quarter-final line-up for both the men and the women looked great on paper, but the last few days have been a little flat. Is it just me who loses interest at the end of tournaments when all my favourite players have all gone out? Generally, I much prefer the early stages of a tournament…
The loss of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal from the bottom half of the men’s draw has opened the door for Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych, who will meet each other in the first of the men’s semi-finals which will be played on Thursday night in Melbourne (8.30am in the UK). I was chuffed for…
The top half of the men’s draw has stayed entirely with the seedings as the number one seed, Novak Djokovic will take on the number eight seed, Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals. Djokovic is yet to drop a set this tournament; in the fourth round, he beat Gilles Muller, 6-4 7-5 7-5. Hitting 47 winners…
