The opening day of the 2016 French Open at Roland Garros was a rain-drenched affair as just ten singles matches were completed. In fact, it was much better than expected as the weather forecast had implied there was a strong possibility of a complete washout. The only match to be completed on Phillipe Chatrier staked…

Here’s a quick Set Points post to wrap up Thursday’s third round action at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome. Thursday night is when i’m actually on the tennis court as it’s my tennis club night… so for reference, i’ll always be a little bit quieter on Thursday! I played horribly tonight but it’s so much fun to play…
In yesterday’s Set Points, I wrote that it had been a pretty quiet start to the week in Rome… of course, that all changed on Wednesday! All the remaining top eight seeds were out in force and of the six that played, just one survived! The upset train was chuffing into action once more as…

Quarter-Finals day at the Mutua Madrid Open was a much calmer affair after the drama of Wednesday. It also ended at a reasonable hour so i’ve managed to finish Set Points tonight! While just one seed remains, there’s still plenty of intrigue in this semi-final line-up. This will likely be my last post from Madrid…
Ohhh Madrid, you are a mess. It’s been a frenetic week at the Mutua Madrid Open and that escalated further on Wednesday with the two remaining seeds in the top half of the draw both departing, one with a loss and one through injury. This has left a tournament wide open for literally anyone to win this…
Day four of the Mutua Madrid Open saw just six WTA matches on the schedule as two players were forced to withdraw before play even got underway. It’s been another wild week on the WTA tour with just five seeds remaining in the draw and only ONE all seeded match-up for Wednesday’s slate of third round…
After Sunday’s jamboree of tennis fun, we were down from 26 matches to just eight on Monday! On the third day of main draw action, five of the seven seeds went tumbling out of the tournament as sections of this draw began to open up in style with at least four unseeded players confirmed to…
