Since my first visit to Eastbourne in 2010, i’ve been to the tournament every year apart from the 2020 COVID cancelled year and 2025. I thought it was about time that I added a tournament guide to MTB for visiting the Eastbourne Open because it’s probably the tournament that I know the best. Read on…
I was at Eastbourne for the first day of qualifying on Saturday. It was my first time back after the WTA tournament was downgraded from a 500 to 250 event in 2025 so the main draw entry list is not as strong as before. I didn’t really notice much difference for qualifying though which attracted…
After swearing i’d never go back to Queens, I took the plunge this year to try out the women’s tournament which returned in 2025 following a 50-year hiatus. I really enjoyed watching the event on TV last year so decided to change my beliefs. This is a guide for visiting Queens covering everything from buying…
I was very disappointed when it was announced that they were adding a women’s tournament to Queens because this directly impacted Eastbourne (my spritual home) which was downgraded from a 500 to 250 event. I have to admit though that I really enjoyed watching the women’s Queen’s tournament on the TV last year. I said…
Another fun week at the Credit One Charleston Open is in the books as Jessica Pegula went back-to-back. As tournaments go, Charleston is pretty near the top of my tennis bucket list. I have a deal with the bro – if he ever manages to get tickets for the Masters then i’ll make him go…
The 2026 Sunshine Double is in the books after Saturday’s women’s final. It was a wet start to the tournament including one day of play that was completely washed out but the second week ran much smoother. There was a time about ten years ago when Miami > Indian Wells. That has definitely flipped for…
The first half of the 2026 Sunshine Double is complete as Indian Wells concluded on Sunday with a stunning finale. It’s always a tough follow from the UK with much of the action happening overnight and some of the tennis can be rather tedious to watch on the slow, gritty courts. I think it was…
The 2026 Australian Open is in the books. I’ve enjoyed following the last two weeks which has been a welcome distraction from the January blues. It was a great final but all in all, I wouldn’t say it was a particularly memorable Slam as the second week fell flat until the final. Anyway… read on…
This is the annual post on Moo’s Tennis Blog where I have a go at predicting the season-ending top ten and Slam champions for the upcoming season. I think this was the toughest year for a while for predictions as I kept forgetting players who I wanted to add to my top ten and even…
My 2025 predictions were a mixed bag – I correctly predicted Sabalenka and Pegula in their respective positions and six of the world’s top ten but there were some bad ones in there too! Before posting my predictions for 2026, let’s take a look back at what I said from last year’s post and how…
