While not the highest seed to go out, the most eye-popping scoreline was in the third match on Central as Eugenie Bouchard beat the number 11 seed, Dominika Cibulkova,…

The first match of the day in Stanford produced an upset as Zheng Saisai defeated the number seven seed, Alizé Cornet, 6-4 6-1. It looked set to be a long match after Zheng needed six deuces to get her first hold of serve. The opener was a gruelling affair and there were many long baseline…
Camila Giorgi snapped a four match losing streak and earnt a first ever win over Eugenie Bouchard, 7-5 6-4 in Tuesday’s opening match of the day in Washington.

Wednesday was quarter-finals days for the men with Centre Court having an amazing day with two five setters. Today is my last day of leave from work… the last three weeks have been amazing 🙂 I’ve got a few final posts to wrap up for Wimbledon 2016. I’m hoping to co-ordinate my lunch break tomorrow to…
The damp and dreary first week feels so long ago and Wimbledon 2016 is back on track with the women’s semi-finals all set! Quarter-finals day didn’t quite live up to the lofty heights of 2015 where three of the matches went the distance. This year’s slate of quarter-finals were all decided in straight sets but produced some…

Saturday was my third and final day at Wimbledon… i’ve been so lucky this year! Thanks to my friend for taking me who had No.1 Court tickets for Middle Saturday.
