It’s been a shocking start to the tournament in the sense there have been so few shocks and the top eight seeds are all into the third round. On Thursday, Carla Suárez Navarro was the only seed to fall but her opponent, Dayana Yastremska, was actually the favourite before the match. One advantage to the…
Four seeds fell on day 3 of the 2019 Australian Open. The top eight seeds though all remain in the tournament with a cracking line-up of third round matches set in the bottom half for Friday. There was the odd highlight on Wednesday but it doesn’t feel like this tournament has really taken off just…
The top half took to the stage on Tuesday at the Australian Open. It was another strangely uneventful day with just three seeds going out. That’s six seeds out through the first two days – not many at all compared to recent Slams! After a long day at work, i’m already flagging 😴😂. Read on…

The second week of the season is a much quieter affair with just the two WTA tournaments in Sydney and Hobart. I’ll be focusing on Sydney this week which, despite a late flurry of withdrawals, has still attracted a superb line-up with six of the world’s top 10. After a lovely long break over Christmas,…

The Hopman Cup also finished (perhaps forever?) with a a dramatic conclusion in the mixed doubles match. Sunday will see the two finals in Brisbane and Auckland, as well as the qualifying matches in Sydney. Still…
