In the second of the women’s US Open semi-finals, world number one Serena Williams will take on Ekaterina Makarova. Serena lost the first three games of her quarter-final match with Flavia Pennetta, but won 12 of the next 14 games to book her place in the semi-finals of the 2014 US Open. Serena hasn’t fallen…
I’ll be posting over at the Women’s Tennis Blog during the remainder of the US Open, so even more reason to check it out 😉 Here’s my summary of the quarter-final between Peng Shuai and Belinda Bencic. I am still GUTTED at the crowd that was on Arthur Ashe for what was Peng’s biggest moment…
Before the rain came, the big talking point on day 7 of the 2014 US Open was Caroline Wozniacki’s superb three set victory over Maria Sharapova. It was one of Caro’s best ever victories and a definite contender for the match of the tournament. You can read my recap of that match HERE. The bottom…
Serena Williams won her fifth title of the year with a 6-4 6-1 victory over Ana Ivanovic in the final of Cincinnati. Somewhat surprisingly, this is Serena’s first ever Cincy title. The match started promisingly in terms of being a contest with Ivanovic racing out into an early lead; however serving at *4-5 in…
Sooooo Maria v Ana was uneventful…….. hahahaha! It seems I missed out on the craziest WTA match of the year! Right after writing this preview, i’m going to watch some highlights of that third set. Ana Ivanovic defeated Maria Sharapova, 6-2 5-7 7-5 for a monstrously huge win. Ivanovic led 6-2 4-0 before Sharapova came…
A random thank you to everyone who has been following the blog this week. The poll for yesterday’s quarter-final between Maria Sharapova and Simona Halep was the most popular poll ever on Moo’s Tennis Blog with 68% going for Halep to win. It sounded like another great contest between the pair and it has firmly…
The quarter-finals in Cincy promise to be another great day of WTA tennis. However i’m disappointed by the scheduling for two reasons: 1) Ivanovic v Svitolina getting the top court OVER Sharapova v Halep?! 2) three of the WTA matches are late so I doubt I’ll get to watch them here in the UK! This…
The first semi-final in Montreal will be an all-Williams affair as Serena and Venus will play each other for just the second time in the last five years. Their last match came in Charleston in 2013 when Serena cruised through their semi-final, 6-1 6-2. I’m pleased it’s Serena-Venus as it looked for sometime like it…
In the first of the WTA quarter-finals in Montreal, Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki, 4-6 7-5 7-5 in two hours and 41 minutes in what was a throughly entertaining contest. Wozniacki has played some great tennis in her last two tournaments. In fact, her form seemed to turn at Eastbourne in June when she reached…
Maria Sharapova’s exit to Carla Suarez Navarro was the big surprise on Thursday in Montreal. I was absolutely stunned that CSN was able to close out the match. I was watching Djokovic and then Kvitova so didn’t watch any of the match. It sounded like a mess, but i’m so happy that CSN was able…
