Novak Djokovic won his ninth Grand Slam title and third Wimbledon title with a four set victory over Roger Federer in the 2015 Wimbledon final, 7-6(1) 6-7(10) 6-4 6-3. While the second set had some tremendous moments, the match was a little flat and subdued after the rain delay in the third set. I have…
And here we go again… Roger v Novak! Although I was cheering for Andy in the semi-finals, i’m much more excited about the prospect of this final than Novak v Andy which I have written before that I have issues with haha. Both players won their semi-final matches in straights; Federer produced an exceptional performance…
While three of the men’s quarter-finals were disappointingly one-sided, the second of the semi-finals is the most exciting prospective match of the tournament featuring the top two seeds from the bottom half, Roger Federer and Andy Murray. Federer sailed past Gilles Simon in the quarter-finals, 6-3 7-5 6-2 in just one hour and 35 minutes.…
Men’s quarter-finals are on Wednesday and they will have to do something special to live up to the women’s quarters which were great! In case you missed it, i’ve just started the first ever Moo’s Tennis Blog prize giveaway! I’m giving away three copies of the Game, Set and Match tennis book thanks to Bloomsbury…
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…
This is always one of my favourite times of the tennis season and watching grass court tennis in the evening just feels so good. When I got home from work, the opportunities were endless! After Johanna Konta wrapped up another impressive win in Birmingham, I switched my attention to ATP. My focus will be on…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The ATP season concluded in rather surreal fashion as Roger Federer was forced to pull out of Sunday’s final at the O2 with a back injury meaning that Novak Djokovic is the World Tour Finals champion for 2014. Rumours were circling after Federer didn’t show for his practice session at 3pm. After another brilliant…
It’s time for the FINAL PREVIEW OF 2014… The final of the 2014 World Tour Finals will be contested between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, starting at 6pm UK time on Sunday. It is the final most people predicted a week ago and it is certainly the one I wanted to see. Kei Nishikori and…
The second of the semi-finals on Saturday will feature the winner of group B, Roger Federer up against the runner-up of group A, Stan Wawrinka. This is a high profile semi-final, but this hasn’t been an encouraging tag at the O2 this year with most of the anticipated matches offering quick and one-sided contests. Wawrinka…
As the singles matches continue to disappoint, the doubles matches have been attracting the attention they deserve. Tuesday night’s match featuring Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo against Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez was a particular highlight. In Wednesday’s first doubles match, the Bryan Brothers came from a set down to earn their first win of…
