1. Rafael Nadal v Dustin Brown (Wimbledon, R2) I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MATCH-UP! Rafael Nadal and Dustin Brown will meet for the second time on the tour on Wednesday. In their first match, Brown beat Nadal on the grass courts of Halle last year, 6-4 6-1. While Nadal was probably not best placed…
The match of the day on the mens side saw a truly staggering victory for Nick Kyrgios who came from two sets down and saved NINE match points to beat Richard Gasquet, 10-8 in the fifth set. This was a phenomenal victory. A projected Monfils v Gasquet third round match has now turned into Kyrgios…
The grass court season is throwing up its characteristic jamboree of eye catching results. Top of the list was Dustin Brown’s 6-4 6-1 victory over Rafael Nadal in Halle. Before you say anything about Rafa, Brown played a remarkable match. He absolutely went to town on Nadal’s serve and hit a shed load of return…
Novak Djokovic edged out Andy Murray, 7-5 6-3 in the first of the mens quarter-finals. I’ve had issues with Djokovic-Murray matches before, but this was actually very good! Despite the amazingness of the Wimbledon final, I thought the tennis was pretty shocking. However when they go for their shots and mix it up, it’s fun…

I will be wrapping everything up on Sunday night with a review of the tournament and discussing what’s happened and where this leaves both tours heading into another big event in Miami, starting…
The women’s tournament has been strange, but the the men’s has been completely wackadoodle. Who would of thought that Alexandr Dolgopolov, Milos Raonic, Ernests Gulbis, Kevin Anderson, John Isner and Julien Benneteau would ALL make the quarter-finals of Indian Wells. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are the only top eight seeds remaining in the draw. …
Washington is certainly the tournament to follow tonight with five courts offering up quality mens and womens singles matches. Where Carlsbad flourished last night with a string of compelling matches, today you would be pretty peeved if you had tickets for main stadium court with Laura Robson and Daniela Hantuchova the main highlights. Anyway, the…
1. Novak Djokovic v Alexandr Dolgopolov Novak Djokovic It could have been a rematch of 2013’s finest encounter to date, but Novak Djokovic was spared an Australian Open rematch with Stanislas Wawrinka as the Madrid finalist pulled out before his third round match. Djokovic now takes on Alexandr Dolgopolov, another tricky opponent on his day. …
Today’s action saw two seeds falls at the first hurdle; Gilles Simon rather surprisingly fell to to Roberto Bautista-Agut who continued his great year to date with a 6-3 7-6(6) upset win. Andreas Seppi also lost, to Fabio Fognini having won the opening set, 3-6 6-4 6-4. Marin Cilic and Milos Raonic were two seeds…
The Top 4 of 3rd Round Shanghai Matches Andy Murray 1. Andy Murray v Alexandr Dolgopolov Andy Murray received a walkover into the third round after Florian Mayer was forced to retire with a rib injury. This is unlikely to favour Murray who has yet to take to the fast hard courts of Shanghai. His…
