While all kinds of crazy were happening in the women’s draw, the men’s draw has seen very few upsets. There are a few exciting third round matches that were set for Sunday with Grigor Dimitrov to play the in-form, David Goffin and an all-French match-up between Richard Gasquet and Gael Monfils. Here’s a pair of…

Tomorrow is quarter-final day and there are some potentially, terrific matches on the schedule. So far, it has been a pretty good week of predictions although there haven’t been a great deal of upsets. I am eager to watch some highlights of today’s match between Lucie Safarova and Andrea Petkovic, which apparently was a belting…
Three days in and there have been a fair splattering of seeds exiting the competition. By far the biggest of those was the departure of Sam Stosur, who fell in three sets to the young American, Victoria Duval on Tuesday night. I really thought Stosur would enjoy a solid US Open having peaked at this…

1. Sam Stosur v Jamie Hampton Sam Stosur The match top on my viewing priority and that ticks the box for all court tennis will be the second rounder between Sam Stosur and Jamie Hampton. Stosur had a solid first round win over a struggling, Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1 7-5. There was a lot of effort…

Something tells me that Marcos Baghdatis wasn’t amused during his second round match with Stanislas Wawrinka… Baghdatis managed to smash four racquets as he went berserk out on Margaret Court Arena. I understand letting your anger out, but four racquets?!?!?!?! Day 3 at the Australian Open seemed to be a bad day for the racquets…
David Nalbandian John Isner produced a heroic performance to defeat David Nalbandian in the best match of the tournament so far, 4-6 6-3 2-6 7-6 10-8. Isner was battling with cramps in the final set, but somehow managed to find a way to break Nalbandian. The final set was full of quality as the two…
