I just had to write something about this match! I managed to get back from work in time for the start of the second set and was throughly entertaining by a magnificent Centre Court contest. Petra Kvitova defeated Venus Williams, 5-7 7-6(2) 7-5 in two hours and 30 minutes to book her spot in the…
Rain is going to severely interrupt Friday’s schedule. If they don’t play anything on Sunday, there is likely to be a backlog of matches going into the second week because Saturday’s forecast is also looking ropey. I hope you enjoyed all my photos in my Wimbledon report from Monday here. I was pretty chuffed because…
This is the first of three reports from my trip to Eastbourne this year. The Aegon International is a great event for tennis fans to attend and as per tradition with Moo’s Tennis Blog, I thought it would be nice to share my experiences and photos. I went on the Sunday for the Rally4Bally, which was…
After a reasonably quiet day on Thursday, the upset train kicked into gear again as Ajla Tomljanovic knocked out the highest remaining seed in the womens draw, Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-4 6-4. After failing to serve out an upset win over Sloane Stephens at the Australian Open, Tomljanovic steadied herself in Paris to record the biggest…
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.…
I love the grass court season so there will be plenty of updates over the next few months whether you like it or not! Sabine Lisicki was the first name to be officially confirmed for the 2014 AEGON Classic in Birmingham. It has also been suggested on the Women’s Tennis Forums that Jelena Jankovic and…
Like Indian Wells, Miami offers up all eight of the fourth round matches on the same day. To be honest, I am unenthralled by the line-up and perhaps that is just me feeling a downer on Miami. However if the matches go the way I think they could (they won’t) then the quarter-final line-up could…
Rotterdam predictions this week have been majestically terrible. Doha has been a mixed bag although both my finalists still remain in the draw. This could be my last preview for a while as I will be moving house and won’t have any internet. Hopefully I will find a way to get round this to be…
I am really enjoying all the coverage this week from Doha, Rotterdam and Memphis. I happened to catch the end of Marinko Matosevic against Jiri Vesely in Memphis where Vesely came through, 6-3 6-2 to win just his second ATP tour match. Early on in the second set, Matosevic was heard on the court microphone…
Monday and Tuesday were routine days for the seeds in Paris, but Wednesday saw plenty of upsets as Simona Halep, Roberta Vinci and Carla Suarez Navarro all lost. In Pattaya City, Sorana Cirstea appears to have woken from her slumber as she defeated my tip for the final, Alison Riske in straight sets. Pattaya has…
