Sunday is always my favourite day in Eastbourne as the WTA main draw begins and there are no ticket restrictions so you can pick and choose where to sit on Centre Court. It was another glorious day filled with sunshine. It was very relaxed compared to Saturday as I spent my day hopping between Centre,…
On Saturday I got the opportunity to do a one-on-one interview with Johanna Konta on the Eastbourne Centre Court. This was my first ever one-to-one with a player and i’m still freaking about it! So the story… Jo was advertised to do a pre-tournament press conference on Saturday. I went to the media centre ready…
Greetings from Eastbourne! This is my eighth year in a row visiting Devonshire Park and my third year covering the tournament as media with the blog. Unlike the most recent years that have been largely cold, windy and damp, the next week is set to be a scorcher! Saturday was almost a perfect weather day…
It was a much quieter day in Birmingham on Wednesday with the first quartet of second round matches. Thursday’s schedule looks great although i’m not sure I will get to watch much of it as it’s tennis night and probably my last one for a while with all the tennis festivities coming! This will likely…
Tuesday is always the busiest day in Birmingham with the majority of first round matches on the schedule. It was also eventful over in ATP world where Andy Murray made his comeback to the tour against Nick Kyrgios in Queens. I did watch quite a bit of that match which was bizarre on many levels!…
The main draw for the 2018 Nature Valley Classic started on Monday. I’m still not fully into the tennis having missed most of the tennis at work and then a bit of evening baking and watching the football. This post is a sweeping summary of Monday’s action. Hopefully there will be a bit more to…
MTB is back for four weeks of grass court tennis as the season moves to the UK. I’d actually hoped to cover some of Nottingham but had a busy week at work. I had to do a presentation at work on Thursday and spent most of my free time preparing and worrying about it. Then…
Simona Halep is a Slam champion! Rallying from a set and a break down, Halep beat Sloane Stephens, 3-6 6-4 6-1 in Saturday’s French Open final. I was out during the day and have just managed to catch up with the final having successfully (wow!) avoided the scoreline. Overwhelming thoughts right now – I…
The 2018 French Open final will be contested between the number one seed, Simona Halep and the number 10 seed, Sloane Stephens. I caught up with the Eurosport highlights on Thursday night after playing tennis (I didn’t injure myself or anyone else this time so wahey!) and now feel informed enough to write about the…
I was out on Tuesday playing tennis and have just finished catching up with Wednesday’s action in time to write this Set Points post. All four quarter-finals are covered with a focus on Wednesday’s blockbuster quarter-finals. We’re approaching the end of the tournament (didn’t it just start?!) with the semi-finals set for Thursday.
