Simona Halep battled to a three set victory over Timea Babos in the first match on Ashe. The stats weren’t pretty but Halep’s post-match interview may have explained her increasingly passive performance. Simona Halep after escaping with the win: "I don't know how I came back." Says her back has been "blocked" the last two…
This post covers two fourth round matches that will be played over the next two days including Angelique Kerber v Petra Kvitova (Sunday night) and Simona Halep v Carla Suárez Navarro (Monday). The first of the review posts from my trip to the US Open should be out soon! For photo albums from the US Open,…
New match-up klaxon… Madison Keys and Caroline Wozniacki will go head-to-head for the first time on the WTA tour in a blockbuster fourth rounder set for Sunday at Flushing Meadows. For the second time this week, Keys was on the brink of going out of the US Open. In one of, if not her greatest ever…
That’s a wrap on my three days at the US Open… I keep using all these superlatives but it really has been a superb week in New York! I have so many memories and my final day was definitely my favourite. I’ll be flying back to the UK on Thursday evening (sob) so will be sending…
Tuesday was another intense day at the tennis as I had tickets for both the day and night session on Ashe. It was something on my bucket list so really pleased to have an experienced a night session! It was a 12 hour + day (amazing but hectic!) so a very quick post today with some of my favourite photos. I…
Phwoo… Day 1 was amazing. I’m on a total US Open high right now! It was a long day as we got through the gates at 10am and didn’t leave until 9pm but it was all worth it and it wrapped up with my favourite match of the day featuring Monica Niculescu and Barbora Strycova. I don’t…
I’m loving my time in New York so far! Day 1 was all about sightseeing, starting in Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn Bridge and the 9/11 Memorial (very moving) and ending with Times Square at night. Day 2 was starting to ramp up the tennis! I got my first taste of Flushing Meadows on Sunday afternoon…
This post previews two first round matches at the 2016 US Open including Serena Williams v Ekaterina Makarova and Lucie Safarova v Daria Gavrilova. Just before take-off, I managed to catch a few snippets of the draw via Twitter so it gave me something to do (aside from rewatch Bake Off again!) to write a…
The final Slam of the year is upon us and i’m feeling super duper excited right now because I am flying to New York today! I’ll be at Flushing Meadows for the first three days of the tournament and it will be my first time at the US Open. Therefore, coverage will be a little muted during…
Just to let you all know that i’ll be on holiday in Switzerland and France for the next week so post-US Open coverage won’t commence until next weekend for Wuhan. It’s a shame as I do like the Premier tournament in Tokyo, but i’m excited to be going on holiday and obviously having a week off work.…
