Today has been one of my favourite tennis days of the year with so many great matches and exciting tennis moments to enjoy. Therefore, this is the first of two recaps in a double header of Saturday’s Set Points! The first two winners on day 6 of the 2017 US Open were the world number ones…
This post features two snap previews for last 16 action at the 2017 US Open from the bottom half of the women’s draw including Garbiñe Muguruza vs. Petra Kvitova and Julia Goerges vs. Sloane Stephens – both matches will be played on Sunday. For a round-up of results from the bottom half of the women’s draw…
We’re down to the last 32 in New York as third round matches from the bottom half of the women’s draw took centre stage on Friday. It’s only been a four day week for me after the Bank Holiday, but I am so relieved that it’s the weekend and can focus on the tennis for…
Thursday was my tennis club night – sadly, not many left this summer but it was another gorgeous evening. I had absolutely no patience (shattered at the moment) and was just going for my shots 😂. Of the four doubles set I played, I was on the wrong end of a bagel but went two out…
Since I started seriously watching tennis in 2012, I have gone to the US Open every year. I live in New Jersey, so Flushing Meadows is only about two hours away by train. Every year prior to this one, I have gone with friends or family to the US Open, but this year I decided…
Wednesday was an absolutely bonkers day of tennis – first and second round matches were on the schedule after the rain on Tuesday.

Tuesday was a wet day in New York as only seven of the 32 women’s first round matches from the top half were completed. The rain took me by surprise because I hadn’t even realised that it was on the forecast! After the first set of matches, it was nice just to be able to…
Another seed bites the dust… Naomi Osaka produced a stunning performance to defeat the number six seed and defending US Open champion, Angelique Kerber, 6-3 6-1 under the roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium on a damp day in New York. This was Osaka’s first top ten win as Kerber became the third top ten player…
Monday witnessed the start of the 2017 US Open with the bottom half of the women’s draw in action. One day in and i’m already a wreck at trying to keep up with everything. Unfortunately it wasn’t a fun day for me with watching tennis as I haven’t been able to log into my Eurosport…
Aleksandra Krunic conjured up some more US Open magic to cause the first big upset of the tournament in New York, beating the number seven seed, Johanna Konta, 4-6 6-3 6-4 in two hours and 16 minutes. Konta was one of eight players that had an opportunity to rise to the world number one, but…
