On Tuesday at the Aegon International in Eastbourne, I watched two matches on Court 1. Two of the stands are reserved seating, but one stand is unreserved for centre court holders. I’ve never had a problem getting a seat and it’s a nice court to watch tennis on. Here are my accounts and photos from…

Today was my final day in Eastbourne. I’m saddd, but I have had a fantastic few days. I’m on such an Eastbourne high. I was disappointed that Lucie lost today, but this was cushioned by the last two matches that I watched featuring Barbora Strycova and Sara Errani, and Daria Gavrilova and Camila Giorgi. The…
Today had a frustrating start with play not starting in Eastbourne until after 3pm. However, the rain stayed away apart from a few drops later on and it was a really lovely evening in Eastbourne. After enduring Watson-Lepchenko a few years ago at Eastbourne, I ended up watching a lot of matches on the outside…
I don’t have time to do full previews as i’ve been working on my photos tonight and will be releasing a round-up of Monday’s action soon. Anyway, here are a few quick thoughts about some of tomorrow’s matches. I’m so excited about this order of play. SO EXCITED. Centre Court Matches Ekaterina Makarova v Johanna…
1. Belinda Bencic v Madison Keys (Eastbourne, R2) It’s like London buses… Belinda Bencic and Madison Keys had never met before on the WTA tour before the French Open but the pair will now play each other for the second time in a month. In their first ever match-up, Keys comprehensively defeated Bencic in the…
I love Eastbourne. I’m sorry for bleeting on about it but if you ever get the chance to visit this tournament, do it! While it obviously doesn’t quite have the grandeur of a Slam, it’s an absolute must for a crazy tennis fan. You get to see so much! Here’s another post about what happened…
I can report that it is a little damp today in Eastbourne… OK, it’s chucking it down! Hopefully it should clear by the middle of the afternoon (being hopeful). Originally, the forecast said it was raining all day so it would be a bonus to get a few hours of play. Hopefully all the first…
It was frustrating that the two matches on the schedule that I really wanted to see started at exactly the same time. In the end, I missed Alize Cornet v Alison Riske on Court 1 and watched Belinda Bencic and Mona Barthel on Centre. I’m a fan of both Mona and Belinda so it had…
I noticed today that the cameras were covered and nothing was streamed from Centre Court in Eastbourne today so I thought it would be nice to give a few recaps of the matches I got to watch today. The first match I watched today was the final qualifying match between Daria Gavrilova and Marina Erakovic.…
