The 2015 WTA season has come to an end and as is tradition on Moo’s Tennis Blog, it’s time to count down my favourite matches of the year. In 2014, the fourth round match between Maria Sharapova and Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon was my number one pick. It’s worth noting that these are my personal…
The final group match at the 2015 WTA Finals in Singapore will feature the number six seed, Angelique Kerber up against the number eight seed, Lucie Safarova. For Lucie, her chances of qualifying are very slim at best but Angie still has a fair shot of reaching the semi-finals. The permutations for the white group are as…
Wednesday’s evening session is headlined by yet another instalment of the fascinating rivalry that is developing on tour between Garbiñe Muguruza and Angelique Kerber.

I’ve been focussing my blogging attention on Linz this week as it’s the only tournament in my timezone so I can actually watch some of the matches in the evening. However, the most attractive of the quarter-final line-ups is over in Hong Kong where the draw has really held up and holds much intrigue with…
I’m behind on the tennis tonight so i’ve been frantically trying to catch up with all the quarter-finals. Therefore, just a quick post tonight. There have been plenty of retirements and withdrawals this week but the semi-final line-up for Beijing is goood. The first of the semi-fnals will feature Ana Ivanovic and Timea Bacsinszky. It’s…
BOOM. I’m excited about the prospect of another Aga-Angie match. The last time they played, this happened. Kerber outlasted Radwanska in Stanford, 4-6 6-4 6-4, in a wonderful match.
