In the countdown of my favourite WTA matches of the year, here comes part two of the festivities. If you missed the first part which featured matches 20 to 16, you can catch up HERE. Anyway, here are matches 15 to 11 with some love for this year’s clay court season… 15. Jelena Jankovic d.…
It’s that time of the year for the annual countdown on Moo’s Tennis Blog of the best womens matches of the year. This is from my point of view so there will be some surprises. I’ve tried my best to watch as many matches, but there will be a few that have slipped through the…
JOY. I love Venus-Petra matches. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. On Thursday, Venus Williams and Petra Kvitova will play each other for a place in the quarter-finals of Beijing. The pair have played five times and ALL five matches have gone three sets. I’m sorry about all the capital letters. I’M EXCITED. Venus Williams lost to Caroline…
Many thanks to Adam Wells (some of you may recognise Adam as createdsick in the comments section of Moo’s Tennis Blog) for writing this recap of the second round match that took place in Beijing today between Venus Williams and Caroline Garcia. My preview of Wednesday’s matches in Beijing will follow soon. Thanks again, Adam!…
EMERGENCY POST. The 2014 US Open had been, dare I say, a little dull through the first four days. Suddenly, in the space of about 15 minutes, the women’s draw was given a rather hefty (and welcome) shake as Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams all lost. It’s a real shame that all these…
LEGENDS. Venus Williams and Kimiko Date-Krumm are two of the most well respected players on the WTA tour and the pair fought out a rollercoaster first round match on day one of the 2014 US Open. Venus won 2-6 6-3 6-3 in exactly two hours, fending off a late charge from the 43-year-old Japanese player. …
Agnieszka Radwanska won her first (!) title of the year, beating Venus Williams, 6-4 6-2 to win the Rogers Cup in Montreal. I really didn’t expect Aga to win the title this week. She hadn’t reached a final since Indian Wells and was very disappointing in Stanford last week, losing out in three sets to…
I’m not quite sure what happened yesterday, but I was unable to get into my WordPress account from my home internet and couldn’t get the site to work either. Thankfully, after logging a call with WordPress Support they managed to fix the problem last night. I was out having a non-tennis day yesterday and was…
The first semi-final in Montreal will be an all-Williams affair as Serena and Venus will play each other for just the second time in the last five years. Their last match came in Charleston in 2013 when Serena cruised through their semi-final, 6-1 6-2. I’m pleased it’s Serena-Venus as it looked for sometime like it…
Montreal is delivering up some fantastic match-ups this week. I really wish these kind of tournaments were spread out over like ten days. It just feels so rushed and I cannot keep up! I’m focusing on the WTA matches for Thursday as I haven’t had time to do an ATP preview. I have included the Toronto…
