Match Recap

Match Recap, WTA Finals Day 1: Serena Williams d. Ana Ivanovic, 6-4 6-4

The WTA finals is proving a difficult one to follow with matches beginning in the middle of the day in the UK.  I tried to delay my lunch break today, but play kicked off later than I expected!  I’m just about to watch today’s first match between Serena Williams and Ana Ivanovic, but thankfully Moo’s…

Match Recap, Luxembourg R2: Barthel d. Niculescu, 0-6 7-5 6-3

Crazy scoreline, crazy match.  Mona Barthel recovered from a set and a break down to defeat the number eight seed in Luxembourg, Monica Niculescu.  It was the kind of wackadoodle match you would expect from two players on complete opposite ends of the tennis spectrum.  Niculescu completely dominated the first set as Barthel struggled to…

Match Recap, Linz Quarter Final: Camila Giorgi v Marina Erakovic

Linz has seen plenty of upsets this week with just one seed, Karolina Pliskova contesting the quarter-finals on Friday.  Here are the thoughts of Adam Wells, who watched the second match of the day in Linz featuring Camila Giorgi and Marina Erakovic. Camila Giorgi continued her fine form this week as she looks to capitalise on a…

Match Recap, Beijing Final: Sharapova d. Kvitova, 6-4 2-6 6-3

The final Premier Mandatory event of the year concluded in Beijing as Maria Sharapova edged Petra Kvitova, 6-4 2-6 6-3 in the final.  It took a while to get going, but the third set was a very enjoyable watch.  It had a fabulous intensity to it with Sharapova her usual committed self, but Kvitova was…

Match Recap, Beijing R3: Maria Sharapova v Carla Suarez Navarro

Here’s a match recap of the first of the third round matches in Beijing, which took place on Wednesday between Maria Sharapova and Carla Suarez Navarro.  Thanks again to Adam Wells.  In other news, I set my alarm early for Venus v Petra this morning… 😦 With the roof of the National Tennis Stadium closed above…

Match Recap, Beijing R2: Venus Williams v Caroline Garcia

Many thanks to Adam Wells (some of you may recognise Adam as createdsick in the comments section of Moo’s Tennis Blog) for writing this recap of the second round match that took place in Beijing today between Venus Williams and Caroline Garcia.  My preview of Wednesday’s  matches in Beijing will follow soon.  Thanks again, Adam!…

Match Recap, Wuhan Final: Petra Kvitova d. Eugenie Bouchard, 6-3 6-4

  Petra Kvitova defeated Eugenie Bouchard, 6-3 6-4 to win her third title of the 2014 season and the inaugurual tournament in Wuhan.  Petra continued her excellent record in finals; her record is now 14-4.  It is hard to knock Kvitova off her game once she has managed to find her rhythm and has some…

Match Recap, US Open R4: Wozniacki d. Sharapova, 6-4 2-6 6-2

The second match on Arthur Ashe Stadium between Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova was the most anticipated match of the women’s tournament so far.  And IT DIDN’T DISAPPOINT.  Wozniacki produced one of the best wins of her career to defeat the number five seed, Maria Sharapova, 6-4 2-6 6-2 in two hours and 37 minutes. …

Match Recap, US Open R2: Safarova d. S.Zheng, 6-3 4-6 6-2

Holy moonball.  I felt it was necessary to document what was a pretty solid contender for “worst match of 2014” featuring Lucie Safarova and Saisai Zheng.  In the end, Safarova dug in deep to secure an incredibly hard fought victory, 6-3 4-6 6-2 in two hours and 36 minutes of moonball madness.  Lucie won the…

Match Recap, US Open R1: Erakovic d. Kuznetsova, 3-6 6-2 7-6

In the first set of matches on day 2 of the 2014 US Open, Svetlana Kuznetsova became the highest seeded casualty in the women’s draw so far.  She was defeated by Marina Erakovic, 3-6 6-2 7-6(3) on court 5.  I expected this to be a horrible match when I started watching at the end of…
