The WTA tour heads to the US for the summer hard court season with Stanford and Washington starting next week… and with that, i’m back! I was spent after a busy Spring and three very hectic weeks of blogging through Eastbourne and Wimbledon. I’ve enjoyed the break and have been on a tennis detox, barely…
The women’s Wimbledon semi-finals are all set! Garbiñe Muguruza, Venus Williams, Johanna Konta and Magdalena Rybarikova won their quarter-finals on a rain-affected Tuesday. First into the quarters was Muguruza who produced a clutch display to beat the rain and defeat Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-3 6-4 on Court No.1. Muguruza’s press conference is linked below from the…
In stark contrast to Friday’s order of play when only one women’s match opened up proceedings at 11:30am, this morning there were three! I’ve been double streaming all week and began my main focus on Court No.2 where Garbiñe Muguruza was taking on Sorana Cirstea. The pair last met at the Australian Open where Muguruza won…
The focus on Friday at Wimbledon was the bottom half of the women’s draw with the first eight matches from the third round. Today was my favourite day of watching tennis so far with some great matches and not as much going, at least compared to the first four days! The schedule was an odd…
Thursday was a long day of tennis with a big upset and one horrendous moment, which i’ll get to later in the post. There were three women’s matches up first – Svetlana Kuznetsova and CoCo Vandeweghe both looked in great form as they booked their places in the third round with straight set wins. Svetlana…
This post continues on from my first live Set Points post from Wednesday, which ended with seeing Naomi Osaka cause an upset by beating Barbora Strycova. After this match we headed straight for cover under Centre Court. At this time, Johanna Konta and Donna Vekic were playing out an epic and we could hear all…
I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to Wimbledon on Wednesday. A big thanks to my brother who (somehow!) managed to buy a pair of tickets for Court 3. Every morning at 9am, a small batch of tickets get released online for Centre Court and No.3 Court on Ticketmaster. We both tried…
The second part of Tuesday’s Set Points covers the 16 matches from the second quarter of the 2017 Wimbledon draw where Karolina Pliskova and Caroline Wozniacki were in action. For a recap from the first quarter of the draw, which was a mostly safe day for the top seeds including Angelique Kerber and Garbiñe Muguruza,…
Tuesday saw the second batch of first round matches take centre stage at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships. It was another busy day, but it didn’t feel quite as frantic as Monday with the women’s matches a little more evenly phased during the day. This particular post covers the first quarter of the women’s draw, including…
For a recap of everything that happened in the third quarter of the Wimbledon draw, check out part one of Monday’s Set Points HERE. This post covers the fourth quarter of the draw for part two of Set Points where Simona Halep, Johanna Konta and Petra Kvitova all began their 2017 Wimbledon campaigns. I just…
