For the past two years on Moo’s Tennis Blog, I have shared my favourite 20 matches of the WTA season and it’s nearly time for the 2013 countdown. Last year, I crowned Caroline Wozniacki and Tamira Paszek‘s epic first round match at Wimbledon as my favourite match of the year. In 2011, there was no…
I have been blogging for over 3 years now at my old site, http://www.moo21tennis.blogspot.co.uk and I felt like it was time for a change. E-Blogger has been great for me to get my site up and running but over time, I have become frustrated with some of the features and found many pitfalls in trying…
THIS IS THE FINAL PREVIEW OF 2013! I was really looking forward to both semi-finals today, but in truth, both were damp squibs. Rafael Nadal was first to book his spot in the final as he overcame one wobble serving for the first set before strolling through the second to defeat an error-strewn, Roger Federer,…
Eastbourne is coming to a close for another year and just like 2012, a surprise womens finals is on the cards. Jamie Hampton overcame Caroline Wozniacki in a marathon semi-final, 6-7(8) 7-5 6-3 to set up a final with Elena Vesnina, who tore past Yanina Wickmayer, 6-2 6-0. Both have had excellent weeks, but I…
Novak Djokovic produced a masterful performance to topple Rafael Nadal, who had crafted together eight straight years of titles in Monte-Carlo. Djokovic was sensational for much of the first set with some bold, attacking play. Nadal was on the verge of being bagelled in that opening set, but he got a foothold in the match…

Petra Kvitova I was quite certain that Saturday’s Dubai final between Petra Kvitova and Sara Errani would be a complete walkover for Petra, but once again, I underestimated Errani who won her first ever set against Kvitova in four matches. Kvitova romped through the opening set, 6-2. She won the first seven points of the match and…

Victoria Azarenka The Doha final did not fail to disappoint as Victoria Azarenka claimed just her second ever victory over Serena Williams with a 7-6(6) 2-6 6-3 victory in an engaging finale. Azarenka played a terrific final set, outhitting Serena from the baseline and playing the crucial points remarkably well. The win should certainly give…
