Serena Williams was knocked out of the 2014 Wimbledon Championships in three sets by Alize Cornet, 1-6 6-3 6-4. It was a shocking loss for a number of reasons: Serena had taken the first set in style, 6-1 and looked in complete control. This was Alize’s second straight win over Serena and it was so…
Saturday was a crazy day. The schedule on the outside courts was seriously curtailed by the rain meaning that there are still five third round matches to finish, two of which, didn’t even begin. Therefore I have split up the Magic Monday previews because there is a possibility that only the top half of the…
Petra Kvitova and Venus Williams produced the best womens match of the tournament as Petra came from a set down to beat Venus, 5-7 7-6(2) 7-5 in a magnificent contest. You can read my full recap of the match HERE. The line-up of third round matches from the top half of the womens draw is…
I just had to write something about this match! I managed to get back from work in time for the start of the second set and was throughly entertaining by a magnificent Centre Court contest. Petra Kvitova defeated Venus Williams, 5-7 7-6(2) 7-5 in two hours and 30 minutes to book her spot in the…
The match of the day on Friday on the mens side was Grigor Dimitrov’s five set victory over Alexandr Dolgopolov. Dimitrov came from two sets to one down to claim an absolutely HUGE victory. He will be the heavy favourite to reach the quarter-finals. My predictions have been poor lately, but Wimbledon has started well…
Rain is going to severely interrupt Friday’s schedule. If they don’t play anything on Sunday, there is likely to be a backlog of matches going into the second week because Saturday’s forecast is also looking ropey. I hope you enjoyed all my photos in my Wimbledon report from Monday here. I was pretty chuffed because…
The match of the day on the mens side saw a truly staggering victory for Nick Kyrgios who came from two sets down and saved NINE match points to beat Richard Gasquet, 10-8 in the fifth set. This was a phenomenal victory. A projected Monfils v Gasquet third round match has now turned into Kyrgios…
Victoria Azarenka was the highest seeded casualty on Wednesday as she was knocked out of the tournament by Bojana Jovanovski, 6-3 3-6 7-5. It was a fantastic match featuring plenty of brutal rallies. There wasn’t much variety, but the hitting was so good from both players. Azarenka hit 19 more winners than Jovanovski, but the…
The first big upset in the mens draw saw David Ferrer bundled out by Andrey Kuznetsov in five sets. The Russian player was fantastic and served out the match with ease, having been two sets to one down. Ernests Gulbis and Mikhail Youzhny also fell as for the second year in a row, Sergiy Stakovsky’s…
I was at Wimbledon for the first Monday of the 2014 Championships and had a tremendously majestic day. I had Court No.2 tickets (thanks to my Brother), but we spent much of the afternoon roaming around the outside courts. Nothing beats the first day of Wimbledon because there is sooo much going on! I’m still…
