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…
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…
1. Maria Sharapova v Lucie Safarova (RG, R4) Lucie, Lucie, LUCIE! OK i’m sorry for those that don’t have an attachment to Lucie but i’m excited! For the second year in a row, Lucie is into the second week of Roland Garros. This may not seem like a big deal but before this event last…
1. Angelique Kerber v Garbine Muguruza (RG, R3) A couple of days before Roland Garros, Angelique Kerber was forced to withdraw from Nurnberg with a back injury. There were concerns over her participation at the French Open but they proved to be futile. I’m so annoyed with myself for paying attention to those fears! Kerber…
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…
It’s been a while since i’ve had the opportunity to post some smiling Lucie pics so here’s a quick post to do just that. Lucie Safarova and Bethanie Mattek-Sands were playing just their THIRD tournament together but won their second title in Stuttgart to go along with their Australian Open triumph. The pair beat Katarina…
In a seventh career match-up, Caroline Wozniacki and Lucie Safarova will meet on Thursday in the second round of Stuttgart. Wozniacki had a bye in the first round, while Safarova won her first round match against Kateryna Bondarenko, 7-6(8) 6-4. Safarova saved two set points in the first set tiebreak and broke at the crucial juncture of the…
Indian Wells is finally gathering some pace now with the women starting the third round on Sunday and the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal playing their first matches of the week.
