The World Tour Finals are in town and being just one hour away from London, I couldn’t turn down the opportunity of live tennis! Here’s my recap of the action from Monday evening including some of my photos. I didn’t take my big lens so the pictures aren’t great. I’ve posted the whole album and…
The night match on Sunday starting at not before 8pm in the UK will feature a Paris rematch between Milos Raonic and Roger Federer. I’m excited because I have tickets for this match :-).

Roger Federer defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets to set up a surprise final with Gilles Simon in Shanghai. Federer produced a marvellous performance to beat Djokovic, 6-4 6-4.

The top half in Cincy has been ravaged with upsets and on Friday, Julien Benneteau upset Stan Wawrinka, 1-6 6-1 6-2. It was a puzzling performance from Stan. I thought (and to be honest, kind of hope) he was struggling with an injury. He seemed to check out in the third set, meanwhile Benneteau played…
For the second consecutive week, Novak Djokovic fell in the third round of a tournament and this time, to Tommy Robredo. TOMMY ROBREDO. The Spaniard has had a brilliant week, winning all his matches in straight sets. Despite these rather surprising losses, I’d still take Djokovic as the favourite to win the US Open. I…
