Lucie and Beth won their second Grand Slam doubles title this year as they beat Yaroslava Shvedova and Casey Dellacqua in the final of the 2015 women’s doubles, 3-6 6-4 6-2. I’m so pleased that Lucie won one of her finals! Beth also won the mixed doubles title with Mike Bryan so this has been…
Serena Williams defeated Lucie Safarova, 6-3 6-7(2) 6-2 to win her 20th Grand Slam title and 3rd Roland Garros title. I have a mixture of emotions right now. I was sad immediately at the end, but that’s slowly fading and now i’m beaming with pride. Firstly, congrats to Serena Williams. Personally i’m not a fan,…
I’ve been thinking about what I am going to write for the women’s final for several hours and i’ve still got no clue. It’s going to be messy but I hope you’ll stick with me as I try to sum up what’s going on, both with the tennis and in my head right now. Tweets…
The first of the women’s semi-finals at Roland Garros on Thursday will be contested between Ana Ivanovic and Lucie Safarova… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a surprising, yet in equal portions, compelling semi-final. I’m so excited for Lucie. I never expected her to do so well this fortnight. Pre-Paris, Safarova reached the quarter-finals of Madrid and the second…

There have been some wonderful stories at this year’s Roland Garros and none more so than a Grand Slam quarter-final between Timea Bacsinszky and Alison Van Uytvanck. The pair have both broke new ground this week; Bacsinszky had never made it past the third round of a Grand Slam while Van Uytvanck had only ever…
Serena Williams recovered from another slow start to book her place in the last eight of Roland Garros. Serena was teetering on the edge at 1-6 4-5 down to Sloane Stephens. There was a lot of gasping at my computer screen as I watched the live scores unfold. After her tussle with Victoria Azarenka, I…
Wow. I thought Lucie had a real chance to upset Maria Sharapova in their fourth round match but I questioned (i’m ashamed to say!) whether she could get across the finish line. She only went and DID IT, holding on for a 7-6(3) 6-4 victory over Sharapova. I was listening on RG radio for the…
