The second match on Arthur Ashe Stadium between Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova was the most anticipated match of the women’s tournament so far. And IT DIDN’T DISAPPOINT. Wozniacki produced one of the best wins of her career to defeat the number five seed, Maria Sharapova, 6-4 2-6 6-2 in two hours and 37 minutes. …
In the TFF DreamTeam game, Wild Briar Village continues to lead the way. Woo is in 2nd place and #teamwoz is in 3rd place. I’m down in 7th place and have a depleted women’s team. Sunday’s schedule will be lit up with the showpiece match-up between Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova, which will be during…
The bottom half of the women’s draw looks in great shape as we head into the third round. There have been quite a few upsets in the third quarter, but there are some quality players still remaining. In the fourth quarter, we are just one match away from some blockbuster last 16 matches. As always,…
Qualifying for the US Open has already begun and you can keep up to date with the draws HERE. Both singles draws will be out on Thursday. The final Grand Slam previews will be posted on Moo’s Tennis Blog on Friday and Saturday! If you missed it, I wrote a feature post about Lucie Safarova…
A random thank you to everyone who has been following the blog this week. The poll for yesterday’s quarter-final between Maria Sharapova and Simona Halep was the most popular poll ever on Moo’s Tennis Blog with 68% going for Halep to win. It sounded like another great contest between the pair and it has firmly…
Petra Kvitova lost her first match in Cincy to Elina Svitolina, 6-2 7-6(2). I thought Petra played well in Montreal, but this was a disappointing performance. The conditions don’t suit her game, but I expected Petra to come through. Svitolina was solid although her attempts (X2) at trying to serve out the match were painful…
In the first of the WTA quarter-finals in Montreal, Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki, 4-6 7-5 7-5 in two hours and 41 minutes in what was a throughly entertaining contest. Wozniacki has played some great tennis in her last two tournaments. In fact, her form seemed to turn at Eastbourne in June when she reached…
Maria Sharapova’s exit to Carla Suarez Navarro was the big surprise on Thursday in Montreal. I was absolutely stunned that CSN was able to close out the match. I was watching Djokovic and then Kvitova so didn’t watch any of the match. It sounded like a mess, but i’m so happy that CSN was able…
The most intriguing of Sunday’s three finals will be in Istanbul where the top two seeds (wow) have progressed through to the showpiece finale. Caroline Wozniacki and Roberta Vinci have both looked in great form so far this week; Wozniacki has lost two sets through the tournament to Karin Knapp (4-6 6-2 6-1 in the…
There isn’t a great deal to recap as Caroline Wozniacki double bagelled Belinda Bencic in just 44 minutes to wrap up first round action in Istanbul. I think there were a fair few people who gave Bencic a chance in this match, which makes the final scoreline all the more surprising. Wozniacki was absolutely brilliant…
