The final week of the 2018 WTA season is upon us with the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai. I was very much looking forward to watching and blogging about the tournament this week with such a stunning line-up. However, the coverage on WTA TV has been very disappointing. The first day was streamed as normal.…
It was only fitting that the 2018 WTA Finals would finish with another gruelling three setter. Ten of the 15 matches in Singapore this week have gone the distance in what has been a week of close, competitive matches. It was Elina Svitolina who triumphed on Sunday, beating Sloane Stephens in the final, 3-6 6-2…
The 2018 WTA Finals final is all set after another pair of three setters on semi-final Saturday!

It’s a testament to the…

That’s now the last six matches in Singapore that have been decided in three sets! To add to the madness, all eight players remain in contention for the semi-finals, paving the way…
After two sets of matches in the white group, all four players remain in contention to qualify for Saturday’s semi-finals. The day featured another pair of three setters. I’m pleased to see two more competitive matches, but it was another struggle to catch up with the matches and even more so with the Bake Off!…
The 2018 WTA Finals continued in Singapore on Monday with the first set of matches from the red group. Both matches went the distance and both saw the lower ranked player win! The seeds through five to eight have won the opening four matches. It’s not a big surprise with how the season has gone…
The 2018 WTA Finals in Singapore are officially underway after the first set of matches were played out on Sunday from the white group. I’m disappointed that I have not been able to blog regularly over the past month. I’m going to try my best to keep up with Singapore and Zhuhai, the latter which…
