Ohh bugger. Elina Svitolina booked her place in the semi-finals of Cincy with a 6-4 2-6 6-0 victory against Lucie Safarova. The last time that Svitolina beat Safarova at Indian Wells I was too bummed to write anything but here goes. This was a rough watch for Lucie fans but I have to admit I…
After playing each other five times in 2014, it’s take until August of 2015 for another Serena-Ana match. For a time this didn’t look likely… Ivanovic made a woeful start to her third round match against Sloane Stephens, quickly going down 4-0 and losing the first set, 6-2. Stephens didn’t do anything special but played…

For the second Slam in a row, we have a Serena Williams v Victoria Azarenka match to look forward to. While they met in the third round at Roland Garros, deemed far too early by EVERYONE, this time round it’s a little more fitting that they will play in a quarter-final. Azarenka has had some…

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.
