Rain interrupted the Washington schedule last night so quite a few second round mens matches are still to be played. It is disappointing though that of the six matches scheduled on the Stadium court, all of them are ATP matches and as per usual, the women are relegated to the outside courts. 1. Grigor Dimitrov…
1. Novak Djokovic v Grigor Dimitrov Novak Djokovic Perhaps the most anticpated match of the French Open so far will see Novak Djokovic take on Grigor Dimitrov in an intriguing third rounder. The Bulgarian caused a huge upset when he defeated Djokovic in an epic second round match in Madrid earlier this month, 7-6(6) 6-7(8)…
Today was a real mixed bag of results; it was great to see Laura Robson defeat Venus Williams although the American is really struggling with a persistent back injury right now. The shock result of the day was Simona Halep thumping Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1 6-1. I lost two womens quarter-finalists as Angelique Kerber also pulled…

Nadal beat Kohlschrieber, 6-2 6-4 in the third round, facing no break points on his serve. Nadal’s next opponent is the unseeded, Grigor Dimitrov, who…
The top three at Queens on Thursday Kevin Anderson 1. Kevin Anderson (9) v Feliciano Lopez (5) The two highest seeds left in the top section of the draw will square off in the most intriguing third round match. Kevin Anderson has had two tough matches so far this week as he came from a…
The top three on Day 7: Li Na 1. Caroline Wozniacki v Kaia Kanepi Things could get sticky for Caroline Wozniacki in the 3rd round where she meets the big serving, big hitting Estonian, Kaia Kanepi. Both have looked in good form with two straight set wins under their belt so far. Kanepi won the…
We joined the match between Tsonga and Dimitrov midway during the first set. The end of the first set was completely serve dominated; Tsonga looked slightly off colour as he struggled to get anywhere near Dimitrov’s booming serves.
