Thursday is my tennis day where I actually get on the tennis court rather than watching the pros do their thing. I missed the first two sets and a half but did see the end of the third round match in Cincy between Jelena Jankovic and Karolina Pliskova which was pretty noteworthy. Jankovic saved a…
This was a fun one… In a ding dong battle on Centre Court, Simona Halep edged Angelique Kerber in three gruelling sets, 6-3 5-7 6-4 to move into the quarter-finals of the Rogers Cup. There were some brutal rallies in this match and both players were clearly struggling, especially Kerber. It had begun pretty routinely…
Of the four quarter-finals at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, the one on paper that stood out like a shining beacon was the only one featuring two seeds, Agnieszka Radwanska and Angelique Kerber. I knew it would be the night match on Friday but it didn’t stop me selfishly wishing the schedulers…
Serena Williams won her 21st Grand Slam title and claimed the Serena Slam for the second time in her career, beating Garbine Muguruza, 6-4 6-4 in the 2015 Wimbledon final. It was a topsy-turvy final which had some wonderful moments. It had started in nervous fashion for Serena who threw in three double faults in…
The match that opened up proceedings on Court No.2 between Garbine Muguruza and Angelique Kerber is one that won’t be forgotten in a while. Muguruza beat Kerber, 7-6(12) 1-6 6-2 in two hours and 34 minutes. The highlight of the match was an INCREDIBLE first set. I’d like to apologise for the ensuing string of…
It was frustrating that the two matches on the schedule that I really wanted to see started at exactly the same time. In the end, I missed Alize Cornet v Alison Riske on Court 1 and watched Belinda Bencic and Mona Barthel on Centre. I’m a fan of both Mona and Belinda so it had…
I noticed today that the cameras were covered and nothing was streamed from Centre Court in Eastbourne today so I thought it would be nice to give a few recaps of the matches I got to watch today. The first match I watched today was the final qualifying match between Daria Gavrilova and Marina Erakovic.…
Fact… every match i’ve watched featuring Katerina Siniakova has been an experience that I won’t forget. I mean… Status Level: Siniakova. pic.twitter.com/t8nJ8GElbK — The Overrule (@theoverrule) June 16, 2015 In the final match of the day on the Ann Jones Centre Court in Birmingham, Katerina Siniakova scored her first top 20 win with a victory…
 I have so many things that I want to write about from my two days at Roland Garros. It won’t come as a surprise to many of you that the highlight of my trip was watching Lucie win her first round match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. I was disappointed to miss the match between Ivanovic v…
Maria Sharapova came from a set down to defeat Carla Suarez Navarro, 4-6 7-5 6-1 in the final of the 2015 Internzionali BNL d’Italia. There was plenty of drama in the first and second sets but overall, the quality wasn’t great. There was always a concern in my head that this could be a repeat…
