We’re down to the final four at the 2022 French Open. Iga Swiatek, Daria Kasatkina, Martina Trevisan and Coco Gauff. Read on for my review of Tuesday and Wednesday’s quarter-finals. Thursday is semi-finals day starting at 3pm local time in Paris. QF notes 🎾 Martina Trevisan d. Leylah Fernandez, 6-2 6-7(3) 6-3 (Tuesday) I’m getting…

This is my first standard post for the 2022 French Open since the draw preview. I had a great time in Paris and enjoyed writing about my experiences on the blog. It’s nice to share some different content for a change! I feel like I have closure on the trip (so dramatic 😂) and am…

For our third and final day at the 2022 French Open we were back on Court Philippe-Chatrier. There were a few showers about but it was generally a much nicer day than Monday. The highlight was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga’s final match and retirement ceremony! The final post in the RG22 series will be my guide to…

Day 2 of the 2022 French Open and we had tickets for Court Simonne-Mathieu. It was on my bucket list to watch a match on Simonne-Mathieu at sunset and I just about achieved it! It was a tricky day with the weather forecast. We made a bit of a risky decision to skip the tennis…

This is the first of four posts from my trip to Paris and Roland Garros. It was my first time at the tournament since 2015 and it was third time lucky as we had planned to go in 2020 before the pandemic struck. Post one is a report from day one where we had tickets…

The 2022 French Open, the second Major of the year, will begin on Sunday! The main storyline for this tournament – can anyone stop Iga Swiatek? Read on for my preview of the draw including the stand-out first round matches and potential match-ups to circle from the first week.  I haven’t done my draw yet…

That’s a wrap for Rome. In Sunday’s final, Iga Swiatek beat Ons Jabeur, 6-2 6-2, to win her FIFTH consecutive tournament and successfully defend her Rome title. Rome is definitely on the bucket list and it looks like a gorgeous venue. A few moans though… I always think this tournament feels rushed. They have no…

Ciao Roma! Main draw action begins on Monday with Iga Swiatek headlining another cracking draw. I think it’s widely regarded that the conditions in Rome are much more Paris-like than Madrid so i’ll definitely be keeping a closer eye on the results this week. Read on for draw takeaways and what to look out for…

That’s a wrap for Madrid. In arguably the biggest match of their respective careers, Ons Jabeur defeated Jessica Pegula in Saturday’s final, 7-5 0-6 6-2. The end of the tournament was rather overtaken by the frankly appalling scheduling in Madrid. A semi-final starting gone 11pm and a final with not before time. Alcaraz-Djokovic was fantastic…

The quarter-finals of Madrid are in the books. The last eight came together on Wednesday with the two remaining seeds progressing to the semis but arguably the tournament favourite exiting. This post covers Jabeur-Halep and Pegula-Sorribes Tormo. I’ll be back at the weekend to wrap up the semi-finals and final of Madrid. Willing for Ons…
