Wednesday’s first match of the day produced one of the most shocking scorelines of the entire year as Simona Halep defeated Serena Williams, 6-0 6-2. This was an upset, but it was the one-sided nature of the scoreline that really shocked me. I’m going to go and watch the highlights now! The stats really show…
After straight set losses in their first matches of the red group, Eugenie Bouchard and Ana Ivanovic face off in a crucial match as they bid to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the semi-finals in Singapore. Ivanovic lost to Serena Williams, 6-4 6-4 in an entertaining first match. Ivanovic recovered from 1-4 down…
Thanks to Adam Wells for watching and recapping the second of today’s round robin matches in Singapore between Simona Halep and Eugenie Bouchard. Enjoy… This match saw the youngest women in the game’s top 20 making their Tour Finals debut. And to say the occasion got to the younger of the two would be an…
Like the first match between Serena and Ana, the second match from the red group featuring Simona Halep and Eugenie Bouchard has some pretty bold question marks after both players pulled of their most recent tournaments with injuries. Bouchard won her first match in Linz and then pulled out with a left leg injury. In…
This has been one of the most fascinating seasons on the WTA tour for years and it will all come to a glittering crescendo next week in Singapore.

Monday in Beijing saw two notable results: Serena Williams recovered from a 5-0 first set deficit and multiple set points to somehow overcome Silvia Soler-Espinosa in straight sets, 7-5 6-2.

Petra Kvitova defeated Eugenie Bouchard, 6-3 6-4 to win her third title of the 2014 season and the inaugurual tournament in Wuhan. Petra continued her excellent record in finals; her record is now 14-4. It is hard to knock Kvitova off her game once she has managed to find her rhythm and has some…
Wuhan will see a repeat of the 2014 Wimbledon final as Petra Kvitova takes on Eugenie Bouchard in Saturday’s final, which will begin at 8am UK time. In that famous match, Kvitova produced one of the best performances of the entire season to completely overwhelm Bouchard, 6-3 6-0. It was a tough summer for Genie,…
Friday is semi-finals day in Wuhan for this Premier 5 event. I’d probably give Petra the edge with the four players remaining, but like Tokyo, it remains wide open at the business end. Qualifying for the fourth and final Premier Mandatory event in Beijing will also kick off on Friday. Draw previews for Beijing will…
Most of the results in Wuhan on Wednesday were predictable, but there was one that stood out like a sore thumb… Timea Bacsinszky d. Maria Sharapova, 7-6(3) 7-5.
