Just three seeds remain in Linz with a huge opportunity for those players left in the depleted top half of the draw. Two more seeds fell on Wednesday with Roberta Vinci losing her third consecutive match to Aleksandra Krunic in a wacky WTA scoreline, 6-1 6-7(3) 6-1. She was followed out of the tournament by…
It’s been over a month since Lucie Safarova took to a tennis court and finally, she’s backkkkk. On the 1st of September, Lucie suffered a disappointing first round exit at the US Open to Lesia Tsurenko, later revealing that she had been struggling with an abdominal tear that needed rest. Worse news would come when…
I forgot how difficult the Asian Swing is to follow when i’m working… play starts at 4am when i’m sound asleep. I could get up to watch some tennis but sleeeeeep. Then i’m at work while everything is going on. I’ve managed to find nuggets of time in the morning and during my lunch hour…
HELMETS AT THE READY… In a first career match-up, the number 24 seed, Sabine Lisicki faces Camila Giorgi in the second round of the 2015 US Open. Both players have had up-and-down kind of years which will come as no surprise based on their game styles. Lisicki looked rejuvenated in Indian Wells and Miami where…
Did someone speed up time or something because I can’t believe that the US Open is only a week away. The final tournament before the women head to Flushing Meadows is the Connecticut Open in New Haven. There have been string of withdrawals with the likes of Garbiñe Muguruza, Sloane Stephens, Belinda Bencic and Ekaterina…
1. Alizé Cornet v Kirsten Flipkens (Istanbul, R2) The last time that Alizé Cornet and Kirsten Flipkens played each other they put on a show… or should I say, Alizé put on a show. In a match that featured a 6-0 set, Cornet still needed three hours and 11 minutes to get the win earlier this…
1. Camila Giorgi v Dominika Cibulkova (Istanbul, R1) It’s great to see Dominika Cibulkova back on the WTA tour but not so great to see her down at number 56 in the rankings. It will take time for Domi to get back to where she belongs after she was forced to have surgery to address…
Camila Giorgi will be seeking to maintain her winning head-to-head record on Saturday when she plays Caroline Wozniacki in Saturday’s most engaging match-up on the women’s side. Giorgi defeated Wozniacki at the same stage at the US Open in 2013, coming from a set down to win, 4-6 6-4 6-3. Giorgi also won their last…
I spent barely an hour on Centre Court on Tuesday as I ended up watching plenty of tennis on the outside courts. There’s so much to see and you never have a problem getting a good view. I also watched Barbora Strycova v Sara Errani which was magical and you can see all my photos…
For the first weekend of the 2015 grass court season, we have a potentially awesome final to look forward to with Camila Giorgi and Belinda Bencic to play in ‘s-Hertogenbosch on Sunday. In a real rarity, I picked both finalists at the start of the week! In the first of the semi-finals, Bencic defeated Jelena…
