Thursday was another busy, busy day at the 2017 Aegon International in Eastbourne. It started with one of my few sightings of Jelena Ostapenko as I followed her into the grounds!

Monday was All-Access Hour with the players so a very busy day. I’d opted to watch the matches on the outside courts and skip the first few press conferences – watching tennis is always my priority and it was such a lovely day. When I found out that Petra had a press conference scheduled, I…
After two cold and windy days, the sun came out on Monday for a glorious day at the 2017 Aegon International in Eastbourne. Dare I say that it was actually warm! This could all change on Tuesday and Wednesday with the miserable looking forecast but i’m in a good mood so I will stick with…
