The US Open draw was released last night and I will be preparing my previews and predictions this weekend for the final Grand Slam of 2012 so stay tuned….

I have completely missed the ball this week with Toronto starting on the Monday (one day after the Olympic tennis event finished!) I promise to be on the ball for Cincinnati next week 🙂 Like the womens, I have gone for a number of surprises although I think Djokovic will be eager to defend his…

Unfortunately I have not had time at the start of this week to do a full preview for this weeks tournaments but here are my predictions anyway.  I have gone for a load of surprises; I don’t fancy Sharapova to win this week, but I like both Wozniacki and Kerber to have strong weeks, with…

Just a very quick note to say how great it was to see Andy Murray claim an Olympic gold with a commanding straight-sets win over Roger Federer.  I will be back on Tuesday and hopefully to get some previews out in time for the tournaments starting this week in Montreal and Toronto.

Serena Serena Williams claimed the golden career slam as she beat Maria Sharapova, 6-0 6-1 in the most extraordinary display yet of her sparkling grass court season.  Victoria Azarenka scooped the bronze medal with a 6-3 6-4 victory against Maria Kirilenko.  I was disappointed by the final matches in the womens tournament all being one-sided,…

Maria Sharapova Well, what a day! Roger Federer found a way past Juan Martin Del Potro, 19-17 in a third set thriller and Andy Murray produced an exceptional performance against Novak Djokovic, 7-5 7-5 to set up a Wimbledon final rematch.  The womens semi-finals were disappointingly one-sided with Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova easing into…

Just a quick note to say what an incredible mens doubles final which saw the Brit, Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen beat Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau, 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-7 6-3.  It was just a complete fairytale run, which saw the wildcards win three five set matches (including the final) and a semi-final win…

The Top 4 on Day 4 Grigor Dimitrov 1. Milos Raonic v Sam Querrey The best matches tomorrow come on the mens side and most of them in the ultra-competitive third quarter.  I have picked out the encounter between Raonic and Querrey as my top match.  Querrey has been making his way back from injury…

Tamira Paszek I am just preparing my preview blogs for Wimbledon, but had to make a mention of a terrific Eastbourne final where Tamira Paszek saved five championship points to beat Angelique Kerber, 5-7 6-3 7-5.  Paszek also fought through a bad ankle towards the end.  I only watched the last three games, but there…

Serena Williams Virginie Razzano produced the upset of all upsets to defeat Serena Williams in one of the most remarkable matches I have seen. Razzano completed a 4-6 7-6 6-3 victory in 3 hours and 3 minutes and with so many talking points I could write an essay… after some high quality tennis from both,…
