A quick heads up to say that I featured on the most recent episode of the Tennis Days Podcast with Dave Gertler. Dave and I talked about the World Tour Finals, Lucie Safarova and tennis on Twitter. If you want to hear me have a go at pronouncing Lucie’s name then you should enjoy this!…

It’s that time of the year for the annual countdown on Moo’s Tennis Blog of the best womens matches of the year. This is from my point of view so there will be some surprises. I’ve tried my best to watch as many matches, but there will be a few that have slipped through the…
