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…
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…
The semi-finals for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia are set and two of the top three seeds are present! There was one absolute gem in the line-up of quarter-finals with Muguruza-Bacsinszky producing some high quality tennis. For a full preview of the first of the Rome semi-finals between Muguruza and Keys, click HERE. Read on for…
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…
