Angelique Kerber produced the best performance of her entire career to knock out the 2014 Roland Garros Champion, Maria Sharapova, 7-6(4) 4-6 6-4 in two hours and 37 minutes of quite breathtaking tennis. There is no doubt that this was the best match of the tournament and it’s a pretty solid contender for WTA match…
Five fourth round matches were completed in the womens draw on Monday with some big upsets; Agnieszka Radwanska and Caroline Wozniacki were both knocked out in straight sets.

There were two womens matches on Saturday that didn’t finish, therefore requiring Sabine Lisicki, Ana Ivanovic, Yaroslava Shvedova and Madison Keys to return on Monday to complete the last 16 line-up. I was at Wimby today and realised Madison Keys had pulled out when I saw Caroline Wozniacki and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova walk past me…
Serena Williams was knocked out of the 2014 Wimbledon Championships in three sets by Alize Cornet, 1-6 6-3 6-4. It was a shocking loss for a number of reasons: Serena had taken the first set in style, 6-1 and looked in complete control. This was Alize’s second straight win over Serena and it was so…

Victoria Azarenka was the highest seeded casualty on Wednesday as she was knocked out of the tournament by Bojana Jovanovski, 6-3 3-6 7-5. It was a fantastic match featuring plenty of brutal rallies. There wasn’t much variety, but the hitting was so good from both players. Azarenka hit 19 more winners than Jovanovski, but the…
I was at Wimbledon for the first Monday of the 2014 Championships and had a tremendously majestic day. I had Court No.2 tickets (thanks to my Brother), but we spent much of the afternoon roaming around the outside courts. Nothing beats the first day of Wimbledon because there is sooo much going on! I’m still…
