Andy Murray I have been totally gripped by today’s womens quarter-finals so I apologise for another limited preview. I am on holiday for the rest of the week so will have a lot more time to do my previews and get my report up from my day at Wimbledon yesterday 🙂 Andy Murray v David…
Andy Murray This is the most exciting stage of the season as we have barely wrapped up on the clay (in fact we haven’t yet with the mens final carrying over into Monday with Nadal leading by two sets to one over Djokovic) and we are bulldozing our way into the short, but sweet grass…
The womens quarters were a tad disappointing today, but the two mens quarters were both thrilling. Novak Djokovic saved four match points as he battled his way past Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with some fearless play to record a 6-1 5-7 5-7 7-6 6-1 victory. Tsonga probably played his best tennis of 2012 for the most part,…
Gilles Simon Gilles Simon, who had lost his last four encounter to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, turned the table on his fellow compatriot with a solid 7-5 6-4 victory. Simon took advantage of some wayward hitting from Tsonga and the slow conditions to reach the semi-finals. I was impressed with Simon today who played a very good…
Juan Martin Del Potro Juan Martin Del Potro‘s 2012 has really started to shine in recent weeks and things continued to come together for the Argentine on Thursday as he defeated a disappointing Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 7-6 6-2 to progress to the semi-finals of Dubai. Tsonga has failed to bring his best tennis in 2012…
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga The second round of the ATP 500 event in Dubai saw seven of the top seeds progress to a bumper line-up for the quarter-finals. The only seed to fall was Mardy Fish, which was not a surprise based on his recent form. He did manage to win his first round match against Andreas…
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Jo-Wilfried Tsonga suffered a surprising 4th round loss to the rising Japanese talent, Kei Nishikori, 2-6 6-2 6-1 3-6 6-3. Nishikori demonstrated his fighting spirit to come back from a convincing first set loss and his fitness as he battled through another five set match and in the soaring heat. I have only…
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga The ATP tour kicked off with three tournaments this week in Doha, Brisbane and Chennai. In Doha, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came away with the title without playing his best tennis as he beat Gael Monfils in the final, 7-5 6-3. Tsonga benefited from Roger Federer‘s withdrawal in the semi-finals, which was only the second…
Following on from my predictions for the top 10 in the WTA, here is my predictions for ATP top 10 at the end of 2012. I found this one much more difficult… The season-ending ATP top 10 of 2012 Novak Djokovic 1. Novak Djokovic – I’m going with Djokovic to stay at world number one…
This is the first of a series of blog entries previewing the 2012 tennis season, which is fast approaching 🙂 To start with, I thought I would have a go at predicting the finalists of next years Grand Slams! I am probably going to embarrass myself, but I thought it would be nice to look…
