Her opponent, Carla Suarez Navarro, is in uncharted territory as she will play her first ever Premier Mandatory final. 2015 has been a stunning year for Carla… have you had enough of all the…
I’m not really sure where to start… I currently have a muddle of thoughts about last night’s semi-final between Serena Williams and Simona Halep. Let’s start with the result! Williams edged Halep, 6-2 4-6 7-5, in two hours and eight minutes to reach the final of the 2015 Miami Open where she will play Carla…
Everyone strapped in for this?! Serena Williams and Simona Halep were set to meet in a highly anticipated semi-final match in Indian Wells, but a knee injury forced Serena to withdraw (see match preview HERE). Two weeks on and the prospect of Serena-Simona sits on our doorstep once more. In fact, both semi-finals in Miami are…
1. Serena Williams v Sabine Lisicki (Miami, QF) A Wimbledon rematch is on the cards on Wednesday as Serena Williams will take on Sabine Lisicki in the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.

I’m still trying to process some of the results from Tuesday… One of Lesia Tsurenko, Jelena Jankovic, Flavia Pennetta and Sabine Lisicki will be in the Indian Wells final on Sunday. It’s a surprising line-up considering Lisicki and Jankovic have endured miserable starts to the year. In fact, the four players in the bottom half all failed to win…
1. Serena Williams v Monica Niculescu In Serena Williams‘s first match at Indian Wells for fourteen years, she will play none other than Monica Niculescu. I was quite surprised researching this match to find that Serena and Monica have never played each other before. The match will be played on Friday night and it will…
Take a bow, ladies. Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, 6-3 7-6(5) to win her sixth Australian Open title and 19th Grand Slam overall in what was a fantastic final. The final had plenty of highlights and it was the second set that really brought this match to live. Pre-match, I wasn’t really feeling it. Although…
The Australian summer of tennis is nearing its conclusion as the top two seeds, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will battle it out for the 2015 Australian Open title.
