I had a lovely weekend celebrating my brother’s wedding and thanks for the nice messages! Although i’m feeling quite flat now and tired (I NEED SLEEP), I am just about ready to jump into the joys of Madrid and another action-packed week of tennis. Sunday produced one of the best schedules of tennis so far…
Major YAY to this one… for the first time in over four years, Andrea Petkovic and Angelique Kerber will play each other in the second of the Family Circle Cup semi-finals on Saturday. The pair have played nine times before on the WTA tour with Kerber winning their first six encounters and Petkovic winning their…
If you haven’t seen the latest video offering from the Family Circle Cup then do watch the behind-the-scenes video featuring Andrea Petkovic and Jelena Jankovic. I think this will be my go to video when i’m feeling low! The pair could have met in the quarter-finals, but Jankovic was forced to pull out of her third…
It seems rather fitting that we get another match-up between Andrea Petkovic and Carla Suarez Navarro after what happened in Antwerp last month (see original preview HERE). Last month, Carla was forced to withdraw before the Antwerp final due to a neck injury. Carla’s year just keeps on getting better and better, and she has put…
While half of the world’s top ten continues to struggle in 2015, Miami has been a good tournament for the in-form players of 2015. One of those is Karolina Pliskova who won her 21st WTA match of the year on Monday. I think i’m just going to keep using that stat in every preview I…
1. Ekaterina Makarova v Andrea Petkovic (Miami, R4) The two highest seeds remaining in the fourth quarter of the draw, Ekaterina Makarova and Andrea Petkovic will meet in the last 16. This will be the first time that Makarova and Petkovic have played each other since 2010 when Petkovic prevailed in a three setter in…
On Wednesday in Doha, Lucie Safarova claimed her first WTA top ten win since Wimbledon last year with a three set victory over Ekaterina Makarova, 6-2 6-7(5) 6-3. It was another match I ended up watching on live scores (it sounds like everyone was!) and it was one of those matches that makes you age…
Andrea Petkovic won her sixth WTA title at the BNP Paribas Fortis Diamond Games as Carla Suarez Navarro was forced to pull out of the tournament with a neck injury. It’s such a shame when this happens and it was a big occasion for Carla as it was her first Premier final. Many readers voiced…
The final of the BNP Paribas Fortis Diamond Games will feature Carla Suarez Navarro and Andrea Petkovic. Suarez Navarro progressed into her first ever Premier final with a commanding 6-2 6-2 victory over Karolina Pliskova in 61 minutes. This was an excellent performance from Suarez Navarro, her best of the week so far, as she…
1. Karolina Pliskova v Carla Suarez Navarro In the all-Czech quarter-final, Karolina Pliskova edged out Lucie Safarova in two sets, 7-6(5) 6-3 in one hour and 27 minutes. I was disappointed for Lucie as it sounded like she was the better player in the first set. Lucie won three more points in the opener, but…
