I was out on Tuesday playing tennis and have just finished catching up with Wednesday’s action in time to write this Set Points post. All four quarter-finals are covered with a focus on Wednesday’s blockbuster quarter-finals. We’re approaching the end of the tournament (didn’t it just start?!) with the semi-finals set for Thursday.

The quarter-finalists at the 2018 French Open are all set after Monday’s blockbuster schedule turned into a damp squib with two retirements. I honestly can’t remember a less satisfying slate of last 16 women’s matches with the six remaining matches all being decided in straight sets. Please note there is unlikely to be a post…

I’m back from Portugal and settling back into normality. I’m back to work tomorrow (mega sob) so I won’t be able to watch much tennis from now on. I’ve got Eastbourne and Wimby coming up soon so that’s going to keep me going. Middle Sunday is normally my favourite day of Roland Garros. There’s no…
