The wait is over… Wimbledon is here 🥰🥰🥰. It took some time before we saw some live tennis as day 1 got off to a very frustrating start with that annoying barely-rain and drizzle, just enough to postpone play for the first four or so hours on the outside courts. Read on for Monday’s diary…

I’ve been waiting for this moment for two years… Wimbledonians! The grass court season feels extra special this year, and both sudden and rapid too after the delay of the French Open by one week. Ash Barty and Serena Williams are the two favourites with the bookmakers yet neither have played since the French Open.…

LIVE TENNIS!!! For the first time in two years, I watched actual live tennis at the Viking International in Eastbourne on Sunday.

After Monday’s rather disappointing slate of one-sided matches, Tuesday’s matches were at the other end of the spectrum as both women’s quarter-finals went the distance and were decided in extra-time. Read on for Tuesday’s diary in Paris as the semi-final for the bottom half of the French Open draw was set. Day 1️⃣0️⃣ Highlights Tamara…

The last 16 at the 2021 French Open is in the books. I had a day off from the tennis on Sunday and came back to a few surprises as Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Elena Rybakina defeated Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams respectively. Monday’s day matches were all disappointingly one-sided. I’m glad the night session was…

The first week of the 2021 French Open is in the books. It’s felt like a long first week! I have to be honest i’ve got one eye on the grass court season already as most of my favourite players are already out. One random note – I absolutely ADORE the Simonne Mathieu court and…
