Women’s Australian Open 2014: Preview and Predictions

It’s Grand Slam time! The women’s draw is out with Serena Williams standing tall at the top of the drawsheet.  As ever, the draw has thrown up some interesting first round matches.  Here are my thoughts and predictions for the 2014 Australian Open women’s draw.  Your opinions are widely encouraged in the comments section and…

TFF Dream Team: A tennis fantasy game for the Australian Open

Every year I take part in a tennis fantasy game, which is run by the charity, Tennis For Free.  Their fantasy game covers the four Grand Slams where you pick a team of 10 ATP and WTA players and score points depending on their progression through the tournament.  This year I have decided to set…

Australian Open 2013: Novak Djokovic wins third consecutive AO title, beats Murray in final

Novak Djokovic Novak Djokovic became the first player in the open era to win three consecutive Australian Open titles with a 6-7 (2) 7-6(3) 6-3 6-2 victory over Andy Murray in the final.  For the first 2 hours and 50 minutes, there were surpisingly no breaks of serve as the pair slugged it out in…

Victoria Azarenka retains the Australian Open, beats Li Na in three set finale

Victoria Azarenka Victoria Azarenka claimed her second Grand Slam title as she defeated Li Na, 4-6 6-4 6-3 in the Australian Open final.  It was a match that will be remembered for its drama rather than the quality of the tennis as Li went down twice on her ankle and knocked her head on the…

Australian Open Day 14: Novak Djokovic v Andy Murray Final Prediction

Andy Murray Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will contest their second consecutive Grand Slam final on Sunday night as the curtain comes down on the first Grand Slam of 2013.  Murray needed five sets to take care of Roger Federer in what was a first ever Grand Slam win over the Swiss star, 6-4 6-7(5)…

Australian Open Day 13: Li Na v Victoria Azarenka Womens Final Prediction

Victoria Azarenka The women’s final is all set for Saturday night in Australia after two lopsided semi-finals saw Victoria Azarenka and Li Na reach the first showcase of 2013.  Li produced a superb performance to stun an error-prone Maria Sharapova, 6-2 6-2.  At the start of the tournament, I predicted Li to make the final,…

Australian Open Day 12: Andy Murray v Roger Federer Semi-Final Prediction

Andy Murray and Roger Federer will lock horns in a mouthwatering second semi-final that will take place on Friday evening in Melbourne.  Murray won easy over Jeremy Chardy in the quarter-finals, 6-4 6-1 6-2 as he confirmed his place in the final four with 18 straight sets.  Federer lost his first and second set of…

Australian Open Day 11: David Ferrer v Novak Djokovic Semi-Final Prediction

Tomas Berdych may have thought he had a shot at beating a weary Novak Djokovic, but he was rather abruptly put in his place as he fell to the Serbian world number one, 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-4.  Djokovic looks to have put that epic match with Stanislas Wawrinka behind him and will now benefit from…

Australian Open Day 11: Women’s Semi-Final Predictions

Maria Sharapova v Li Na Maria Sharapova continued her devastating progression through the Australian Open draw with a 6-2 6-2 win over Ekaterina Makarova in the quarter-finals.  The world number two has lost just 9 games throughout the whole tournament, but still comes up short to the record held by Mary Pierce who lost just…

Australian Open Day 10: Quarter-Final Predictions

1. Roger Federer v Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Roger Federer Roger Federer continued his impressive dance through the draw as he had no problems in getting past Milos Raonic, 6-4 7-6 6-2.  I fancied Raonic to get a set off Federer, but he is still nowhere near close challenging Federer.  I will reiterate, that I think the…
