The weather in the UK is pretty wild at the moment and that’s set to continue on Thursday. For the second day in a row, Birmingham didn’t do too badly in getting matches finished considering the forecasts. They were close to finishing all the first round matches but two are still yet to be completed. Once again the…
Monday was a very quiet day as the Great British summer was in full swing! Three main draw matches did finish in Birmingham, which was probably a decent showing after play was delayed for many hours due to RAIN. Tuesday’s weather forecast looks dicey again (as does Wednesday and Thursday) but hopefully play won’t be…
As qualifying began in Birmingham, Mallorca, Queens and Halle, there were seven tournaments to try and keep up with on Saturday! I decided not to go to Birmingham qualifying in the end although i’m glad to see they got most of the matches were completed without few interruptions. I’m saving myself for Eastbourne and Wimbledon… this…
Apologies for no post yesterday. As I think i’ve said before, Thursday is my tennis club night and it was a perfect evening weather-wise. I’m still waiting for that moment when everything clicks in my game; my serve was dreadful last night (i’ve never served so many double faults into the net!) but my volleys and…
Wednesday’s action in Nottingham and Rosmalen was overshadowed by the news that Maria Sharapova is set to face a two year ban for a failed drugs test…. My Twitter timeline was a mess this afternoon! More of the Sharapova ruling to come in this post. Second round action began on Wednesday in Nottingham and Rosmalen, and will conclude on…
First round action was completed on Tuesday at the two WTA tournaments this week at the Aegon Open in Nottingham and the Ricoh Open in Rosmalen. There were two prominent storylines; the return of some star names from injuries and a rough day for the Brits in Nottingham. Read on for Tuesday’s Set Points… Four Brits were…
The WTA grass court season kicked off on Monday with first round action in both Nottingham and Rosmalen/’s-Hertogenbosch (there are so many names for this tournament, I don’t know what is the most accurate!). It’s my intention to do a daily round-up for each day of the grass court season, but it might be difficult…
The fourth day of Roland Garros was a great day for the seeds; 11 out of 12 progressed into the third round. Considering the madness of WTA draws in 2016, this is mad in itself! It was a quiet start to the day, which ended with some thoroughly entertaining matches. For a sweeping preview of four second…
Day 3 was a crazy, mad and hectic day of Slam tennis with a total of 71 singles matches completed. In the women’s draw, two of the top five seeds went out and three more were off to begin their grass court preparations early. Just a round-up for today with a poll at the end for the highlight…
Rainnnnnn opened proceedings for day 2 at Roland Garros but thankfully it abated from lunchtime and there were no more stoppages with a full evening of play. These first days of Slams are so much fun but also HECTIC as it’s impossible to follow everything! Previews of first round matches set for Tuesday can be found for…
