The seeds came out to play on day 3 of main draw action at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Seven of the 16 seeds lost on Friday. I don’t think it’s a huge surprise with this tournament because having a bye in the first round is hardly a benefit with the unseeded players,…
The first round concluded in Indian Wells on Thursday with opening matches from the top half. I couldn’t get excited about any of Thursday’s matches and am not enjoying tennis on these slow courts. I’m really hoping Miami courts might be a bit faster this year! Friday’s line-up in Indian Wells looks much more enticing…
Day 1 from the 2019 BNP Paribas Open is in the books with half of the first round matches completed. While looking forward to the two weeks ahead, i’m not a fan of the slow, gritty courts at Indian Wells. I am actually more excited about Miami this year with the venue change. It’s also…
Hello to all! It’s been a while since I posted as I have been on a blogging hiatus since the Australian Open. This is because I just moved into my new house earlier this month 🏠. Boxes are all unpacked, heating is *now* working and it’s starting to feel like home 🙂. There’s still…
I’ve been away for most of this weekend so have only now had a chance to write about Saturday’s final between Naomi Osaka and Petra Kvitova which was yet another absorbing match at this year’s Australian Open. In my opinion, it has been a terrific Slam. The week began with a surprising lack of chaos.…
The final is all set for the 2019 Australian Open and it’s set to be another cracker. The recent Slam finals on paper have all been very exciting and this one, featuring Petra Kvitova and Naomi Osaka, is right up there. More on Saturday’s final in this post (spoiler alert – i’m torn) and highlights…
The semi-finals are all set at the 2019 Australian Open. The quarter-finals ended with one of the most dramatic matches of the tournament so far. The Australian summer of tennis is drawing to a close! This post rounds up the highlights from Tuesday and Wednesday’s quarter-finals, as well as a look ahead to Thursday’s semi-finals.…
The quarter-finals are all set at the 2019 Australian Open after two days of exciting action. I was hoping to get a post out yesterday but I had a few medical issues last night. I’m feeling a bit better now so am continuing my half-written post from yesterday and adding on today’s round-up. I think…
The match-ups heading into the second week of the 2019 Australian Open are looking MEGA. In the top half of the draw, six of the eight top 16 seeds have made it to the second week with the only exceptions being the number 17 and 18 seeds, Madison Keys and Garbiñe Muguruza respectively. There are…
Friday was the most interesting day of the tournament so far with a couple of shocks as eight players advanced to the second week of the 2019 Australian Open. I’m so happy it is the weekend and am looking forward to two days of getting to chill out in front of the tennis. Back to…
