The WTA is rocking back into action with the finals of San Jose and Washington all set, and most players ready to go in Montreal for next week’s Premier 5 stop on the calendar. Washington has finally caught up with their schedule with the two finalists both having to play two matches on Saturday. Read…
Friday’s Set Points provides a round-up of quarter-finals day in San Jose and Washington. The semi-final line-up in San Jose is a surprising one considering the long list of star names that littered the draw at the start of the week. The four players left though have all had their moments in 2018. The women…
Thursday’s Set Points post is a round-up of second round action from San Jose and Washington across Wednesday and Thursday. The two tournaments have been experiencing contrasting fortunes with the weather as Washington has had rain every day this week and Thursday was the worst of the lot. The women are still on schedule though.…
This post is a round-up of first round action from San Jose and Washington on Monday and Tuesday.

The 2018 Wimbledon final will be contested between the number 11 and 25 seeds, Angelique Kerber and Serena Williams. The main talking point of this year’s Wimbledon has been the upsets with all top ten seeds out by the close of play on Manic Monday. However, the WTA’s strength in depth has been demonstrated by…
The final four is set at Wimbledon 2018 after Tuesday’s quarter-finals. There has been plenty of talk about no top ten seeds left after the last 16. I think this is yet another example of the depth that currently exists on the WTA tour because the quality of players left and these quarter-finals are totally…
It’s a quick turnaround as Manic Monday is in the books and the women’s quarter-finals are up on Tuesday! The last eight will be back on court to contest the 2018 Wimbledon quarter-finals.
