In the mens draw, Juan Martin del Potro won his second match on his return from injury with an impressive 4-6 6-2 6-2 victory over the number one seed, Fabio Fognini. Next up for the big man is Mikhail Kukushkin in the quarter-finals on Thursday. It was great to see the end of the DelPo…
After seeing Dominika Cibulkova and Jarmila Gajdosova go three sets during my lunch break, I assumed the final second round match in Sydney between Angelique Kerber and Daria Gavrilova would be postponed and played out on Wednesday………. I was stunned to see the finished scoreline! Kerber is just one of two seeds left in the…
DELPO! I was delighted to wake up to the news that Juan Martin del Potro won his first match on his comeback from wrist surgery with a straight sets win over Sergiy Stakhovsky. I’m hoping to find time to watch some of the match tonight! In an unsurprising turn of events, the Sydney draw is…

Rain affected the schedule in Sydney again on Monday, but all the matches were completed setting up a pretty special order of play for Tuesday. I can understand the matches featuring Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic being on Ken Rosewall Aren (the top court), but then again, having the number one seed in Simona Halep…
So i’m excited about DelPo returning. Win or lose, this guy brightens up the ATP tour and I can’t put into words how pleased I am to see him make a return to the tour. Again, i’m not going to have any time for detailed ATP previews during the week (work is busy!), but predictions…
I was searching everywhere for the final speeches from yesterday’s Auckland final between Caroline Wozniacki and Venus Williams. Thanks to MrPieritoTennis on YouTube, who has included them in his highlights. When you get a underwhelming final, the trophy ceremony is sometimes the best part. The Caro-Venus final was actually pretty good, but the final speeches…
Poland were crowned champions of the Hopman Cup today after Agnieszka Radwanska and Jerzy Janowicz won the pivotal mixed doubles rubber against Serena Williams and John Isner. It was an exciting final match, which saw one point have to be replayed and all four players unhappy with the poor umpire. Once again, i’ve found myself…
The second of the WTA events next week is in Hobart. Casey Dellacqua, the world number 29, is the top seed in the draw. The list of seeds isn’t particularly impressive, but it should pave the way for an interesting and open week. Last year’s champion, Garbine Muguruza has opted to play in Sydney. The…
Are you keeping up? Sadly, I don’t have time to write about Maria Sharapova’s 6-7 6-3 6-3 win over Ana Ivanovic in the Brisbane final, but it was a great match. In case you missed it, I have written a recap of the Auckland final between Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki HERE. The main…
