Kei Nishikori reached his first Grand Slam semi-final. Not surprising. Kei Nishikori won back-to-back five setters. Very surprising. On Wednesday morning, Nishikori came from two sets to one down to defeat Milos Raonic, 4-6 7-6(4) 6-7(6) 7-5 6-4 in four hours and 19 minutes. Nishikori followed that up with another huge win in the quarter-finals…
Gael Monfils recovered from a mini-meltdown at the end of the second set to record another straight sets win, this time over Grigor Dimitrov, 7-5 7-6(6) 7-5. Dimitrov had set points in the second set tiebreak, but faltered on several key points. He then double faulted on match point. It was a disappointing performance from…
The 2014 Wimbledon Championships concluded with an awesome men’s final and arguably the match of the year as Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer, 6-7(7) 6-4 7-6(4) 5-7 6-4 to win his second Wimbledon title. I don’t have a great deal to add to it. It was THE BEST. Djokovic served for the match in…
Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will bring the curtain down on the 2014 Wimbledon Championships. It’s been another awesome Wimbledon although I can’t hide my disappointment at the two men’s semi-finals that took place on Thursday. In the first match, Djokovic edged Grigor Dimitrov in four sets, 6-4 3-6 7-6(2) 7-6(7). It was an insanely…
Grigor Dimitrov prevented a repeat of the 2013 Wimbledon final (lucky us) as he produced a sensational display to beat Andy Murray and set up a tantalising semi-final with Novak Djokovic. I’m relieved that Murray has gone out because the BBC coverage in the UK has been absolutely exhausting. Even today they were midway through…
Here’s my final report from Wimbledon with plenty of photos for your viewing pleasure. It was another crazy day full of tennis, full of excitement and full of Pimms. I got really lucky with tickets this year being able to go twice. I hope the ballot gods are on my side again next year! Lucie…
WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. Play will begin at 12pm on Centre Court and No.1 Court, which both have three matches. All four mens quarters look fascinating on paper and are likely to kick off from about 2pm. Here is the first part of the mens quarter-final preview featuring the quarters from the top…
Saturday was a crazy day. The schedule on the outside courts was seriously curtailed by the rain meaning that there are still five third round matches to finish, two of which, didn’t even begin. Therefore I have split up the Magic Monday previews because there is a possibility that only the top half of the…
I had a fantastic time at Wimbledon on Monday and have my report and photos coming later tonight. I’ll be blogging manically for the next two weeks and this is the first of many previews coming your way. I really hope you’ll continue to follow Moo’s Tennis Blog for the rest of the Championships 😀…
