What a day… Friday produced it’s fair share of drama, both on and off the court. The weather was once again not playing ball although the Wimbledon schedulers didn’t help themselves. I still cannot get my head around the fact third round matches were scheduled BEFORE second round matches. Perhaps they could have got all…
As the rain halted the second round match between Nick Kyrgios and Dustin Brown just three points in over on Court 2, the first blockbuster clash of the day to get fully underway was Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro under the Centre Court roof. And Delpoooooooo won! It was the Argentine’s first top…
Here’s the second part of my live round-up from day 4 of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. For the first part covering wins for Lucie Safarova and Timea Bacsinszky, click HERE. I had an amazing day (thanks to big bro for taking me!) and this part recaps some of the women’s matches that I watched on…
I’ve just got back from another amazing day at Wimbledon. It was a special day as it was my birthday and I got to see two of my favourite players, Lucie Safarova and Timea Bacsinszky both win their matches in straight sets. Read on for my recaps and photos. Note another Set Points round-up will…
It was another rainy day as tennis continues to get battered in Europe. June is normally a good month in the UK but the last few weeks have been just dreadful. They actually got more play completed today than I expected but there are 14 first round matches still to be played. Thursday’s schedule is…
The first day of Slams are always hectic but Tuesday was slightly stunted by the rain which arrived at 4.30pm and wiped out play on the outside courts. With Wednesday’s forecast also looking dodgy, suddenly a backlog of matches looks likely. Hopefully the weather will abate to at least get all the first round matches…
On Monday I was lucky enough to get a court 3 ticket via Ticketmaster. Therefore, Monday’s Set Points (coming a little late as I needed to sleep!) is a photo round-up of my day. While I had Court 3 tickets, I actually spent it all on the outside courts. Note the regular round-ups will kick in today…
And onto part two of the mega extravaganza of trying to recap Tuesday in Eastbourne… Part one is here! After a brief time to get some photos out, I headed back to the action to watch the first set of Karolina Pliskova against Daria Gavrilova, which was enjoyable despite the one-sided scoreline. I forgot how much…
Monday was wet… very wet! I arrived to the grounds of Devonshire Park to very heavy rain and it never really abated throughout the morning. The grounds were beginning to get waterlogged and I walked past the umpire, Mariana Alves shouting oh my god at the developing puddles! Eventually play did get underway, but the outside…
The first day of the 2016 Aegon International in Eastbourne is in the books! I’m planning to bring some Live Set Points articles tracking my days at the tennis. As mentioned in yesterday’s posts, if you have any specific request for photos then please do get in touch here or on Twitter. Read on for Saturday’s…
