Here’s part three of the countdown of my favourite WTA matches in 2015. There’s probably a few surprises in this part including a match from the very first week of the 2015 season which nearly slipped through the net! In case you missed it, part one can be found HERE and part two can be found…
Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki both feature twice in part two of the countdown of my favourite WTA matches of 2015. In case you missed it, you can read part one HERE which featured some sentimental choices with my favourite live matches of 2015. Read on for part two which features matches 15 to 11.…
I forgot how difficult the Asian Swing is to follow when i’m working… play starts at 4am when i’m sound asleep. I could get up to watch some tennis but sleeeeeep. Then i’m at work while everything is going on. I’ve managed to find nuggets of time in the morning and during my lunch hour…
The Victoria Azarenka-Simona Halep match-up has been on my bucket list all year and finally, finally, FINALLY, we will get to see it! The excitement is very slightly muted after watching a seemingly injured Halep scramble her way into the quarter-finals, coming from a set and a break down to beat Sabine Lisicki in a…
1. Simona Halep v Sabine Lisicki (US Open, R4) Simona Halep has sauntered into the second week of the US Open with three comfortable victories over Marina Erakovic (6-2 3-0 ret.), Kateryna Bondarenko (6-3 6-4) and Shelby Rogers (6-2 6-3). Halep now faces a completely different proposition up against the hard-hitting, Sabine Lisicki. The former…
TAKE A BOW, LADIES. The third round match between Victoria Azarenka and Angelique Kerber was one of the most anticipated women’s matches of the tournament… and boy did it deliver! Azarenka defeated Kerber, 7-5 2-6 6-4 in two hours and 52 minutes of quite breathtaking tennis. This may be the heat of the moment but…
The match-up that I had my eyes on when the draw came out has become an eventuality… the number 11 seed, Angelique Kerber faces the number 20 seed, Victoria Azarenka in the third match on Ashe on Saturday. On the whole, the third round matches from the bottom half are a little underwhelming, but this…
1. Jelena Jankovic v Madison Keys (Cincy, R2) After missing Toronto with a wrist injury, Madison Keys returned to action in Cincy with a superb victory over Timea Bacsinszky, 6-4 6-3. Keys overturned her loss at the French Open to inflict a third straight defeat for Bacsinszky who hasn’t won since Wimbledon. Keys will play…
After posting last week about some of my favourite WTA match-ups that i’m desperate to see, I didn’t expect that my number one match would happen in Toronto! On Wednesday at the Rogers Cup, Petra Kvitova will take on Victoria Azarenka… BRING IT ON! At the time of writing I am waiting to see the…
For the second Slam in a row, we have a Serena Williams v Victoria Azarenka match to look forward to. While they met in the third round at Roland Garros, deemed far too early by EVERYONE, this time round it’s a little more fitting that they will play in a quarter-final. Azarenka has had some…
