Thank goodness for the weekend. I just wish it could last for 20 days instead of 2 days. Unfortunately, i’m not really feeling in the mood tonight to write detailed previews, but since i’ve been following Kuala Lumpur for the whole week it would seem a shame to completely forget about it. I’m not a…
Friday is quarter-finals day in Kuala Lumpur with four of the eight seeds still remaining. The big tennis news of the day was that Petra Kvitova has pulled out of Indian Wells citing exhaustion. It’s quite concerning considering that we are only two months into the season, but I hope Petra is OK! Based on…
There weren’t as many upsets in the women’s draw on Tuesday, but there were still some notable exits with Jelena Jankovic, Flavia Pennetta and Andrea Petkovic going out; all three players remain winless in 2015.

There have been no major shocks so far in Cincy however we have seen some horror shows! Andrea Petkovic scraped past Jarmila Gajdosova, 5-7 7-6 6-2 in one of the ugliest encounters of the year so far. Gajdosova committed an unbelievable amount of errors in one of the streakiest performances I have ever seen. Gajdosova…
