Monday was wet… very wet! I arrived to the grounds of Devonshire Park to very heavy rain and it never really abated throughout the morning. The grounds were beginning to get waterlogged and I walked past the umpire, Mariana Alves shouting oh my god at the developing puddles! Eventually play did get underway, but the outside…
As the rain absolutely hammers it down in Eastbourne (sobb), it gives me the opportunity to catch up on my daily post from the practice courts. This is one of my favourite things to do at tournaments and it’s something you can’t watch on TennisTV! Keep reading on for accounts and photos of Sam, Lucie, Timea, Belinda,…
The final match of the day that I watched on a fab Sunday order of play was Jelena Ostapenko v Daria Kasatkina out on court 1. Since I had never watched either player before in competitive action, it was a must to get some photos! I’ve also developed a real fondness for Daria and her game…
Since Centre Court was not streamed today, I made it my mission to track the first round match between Caroline Wozniacki and Alizé Cornet… a definite must watch! In the end, Wozniacki prevailed, 6-1 6-3 in one hour and 20 minutes. The first set was a damp squib, but there were some decent rallies in…
The 2016 Aegon International draw was conducted in Eastbourne on Saturday with main draw action set to get underway on Sunday.

Hello from a currently dry Eastbourne! Qualifying for the Aegon International begins on Saturday and main draw action on Sunday so my focus here on mootennis.com will now switch to this tournament. I’ve just arrived, with not much thanks to Southern Trains! If you are training it down to Eastbourne in the next week, please check…
The weather in the UK is pretty wild at the moment and that’s set to continue on Thursday. For the second day in a row, Birmingham didn’t do too badly in getting matches finished considering the forecasts. They were close to finishing all the first round matches but two are still yet to be completed. Once again the…
Petra Kvitova and Jelena Ostapenko are set to meet in the second round of the Aegon Classic on Thursday… that’s if the weather holds up! The return of Petra to grass is always an exciting sight and she began the 2016 grass court season in style. In one of the blockbuster first round match-ups in…
