WTA Madrid, Semi-Finals Preview: Kvitova v Halep, Sharapova v Radwanska

Four top ten players remain in Madrid after a so-so line-up of quarter-finals.  It was disappointing to see Serena Williams pull out of her quarter-final although I was pleased to see Kvitova move into the last four.  Originally, it seemed that Serena had pulled out of Rome too, but those reports appeared to be false.…

WTA Indian Wells, Semi-Finals Preview: Halep-Radwanska, Li-Pennetta

Women’s semi-finals action at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells highlights Friday’s night schedule.  Three of the four women’s quarter-finals were pushed to three sets but the offerings on Thursday were not pretty.  As Indian Wells simmers to a conclusion, the attention will swiftly turn to Miami where the main draw of the second…

WTA Indian Wells, 4th Round Preview: Halep-Bouchard and Jankovic-Wozniacki

The coverage this week in Indian Wells has been really great and there have some good women’s matches.  Monday’s stat of the day was Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova winning just four points in the deciding set to Aleksandra Wozniak as she was handed a bagel and a breadstick in a 6-1 6-7 6-0 loss.  The big shock…

Week 7 WTA / ATP Review: Halep wins Doha, Berdych claims first title since 2012

After an awful day of predictions for Saturday, I correctly predicted the winners in both finals from Doha and Rotterdam! Simona Halep won the Doha title beating Angelique Kerber, meanwhile Tomas Berdych was triumphant in Rotterdam.  It is worth noting that there were ATP events in Memphis and Buenos Aires this week, but with the…

WTA Doha, ATP Rotterdam Finals Preview: Halep v Kerber, Cilic v Berdych

The straight set matches continued in Doha on Saturday although both semi-finals certainly had their moments.  In Rotterdam, Marin Cilic stretched his winning streak to nine matches.  Here are some previews to the finals in Doha and Rotterdam on Sunday. 1. Angelique Kerber v Simona Halep (WTA Doha, F) Angelique Kerber continued her dominant run…

Australian Open Day 8 Preview Part 1: Women’s 4th Round

Wow. Sunday yielded the biggest upset of the tournament with Ana Ivanovic ousting Serena Williams in a three set win.  A shout-out also to Flavia Pennetta, who took out Angelique Kerber, a result I was not expecting.  The women’s line-up for Monday features four great matches, all of which deserved a full preview in my…

WTA Moscow: Simona Halep wins 5th title of 2013, beats Stosur, 7-6(1) 6-2

What a sensational second half to the year for Simona Halep, who defeated Sam Stosur to win the Moscow title, 7-6(1) 6-2.  Heading into Rome this year she had an unspectacular 9-9 W-L record.  However since that event, which saw her beat Svetlana Kuznetsova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Roberta Vinci and Jelena Jankovic, she has gone on…

Moscow, Luxembourg and Stockholm Finals Predictions: Stosur-Halep and more

1. Sam Stosur v Simona Halep (Moscow, F) Sam Stosur Moscow will close with a fascinating finale between Sam Stosur and Simona Halep.  Stosur has hit her best form of the year and produced another clinical display in the semi-finals to take out home favourite, Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets.  Halep was even better as…

US Open Day 6, 3rd Round Predictions: Kirilenko-Halep, Gasquet-Tursunov and Wozniacki-Giorgi

1. Maria Kirilenko v Simona Halep Maria Kirilenko Many, including me, had picked out Simona Halep as the dark horse to watch at this year’s US Open and she faces her first substantial test of the fortnight against Maria Kirilenko.  Halep was rusty in her opener against Heather Watson, but had no such problems against…

WTA New Haven Quarter-Final Predictions: Makarova-Halep, Zakopalova-Vesnina

Sara Errani and Angelique Kerber both headed into New Haven looking for match wins before the US and both suffered their worse losses of the summer hard court season so far.  As to be expected, New Haven’s line-up could likely throw up a surprise winner. 1. Ekaterina Makarova v Simona Halep Ekaterina Makarova Sara Errani…
