ATP Montpellier, Zagreb, Quito: Preview and Predictions

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.  It was an up-and-down match that had it’s moments, particularly the second half of the second set.  Some of the criticism labelled at Djokovic was, in my opinion, complete twoddle. …

Serena wins the 2015 Australian Open, beats Maria, 6-3 7-6(5) in fantastic finale

Take a bow, ladies.  Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, 6-3 7-6(5) to win her sixth Australian Open title and 19th Grand Slam overall in what was a fantastic final.  The final had plenty of highlights and it was the second set that really brought this match to live.  Pre-match, I wasn’t really feeling it. Although…

The Australian summer of tennis is nearing its  conclusion as the top two seeds, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will battle it out for the 2015 Australian Open title.  It’s been a fun two weeks as always, but i’m looking forward to normal sleep patterns and not dreaming about tennis results (is that just me?…

Lucie and Beth into the 2015 Australian Open Women’s Doubles Final!

All my favourite players have long gone from the singles draws, but Lucie is still sticking around in the women’s doubles!

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…
