It’s time to look back at last year’s predictions… and it was a mixed bag! I had four of the world’s top 10 in my top 10 and correctly predicted one ranking position. I did better on the Slam champs! Before posting my predictions for 2022, let’s take a look back at some of my…

The 2021 tennis season is officially in the books. As has become the norm in recent years, I pretty much checked out from tennis after the US Open 😂. I just got my ballot for the end-of-season awards so i’m kicking off the best of 2021 series on Moo’s Tennis Blog with the WTA Player…
This is unbelievable. I’m still in disbelief at the events that unfolded on Saturday night as Emma Raducanu defeated Leylah Fernandez, 6-4 6-3 in Saturday’s all-teen final to win the 2021 US Open. I’m back from a week away and have so much to catch up on the blog from the last week. I’m going…
Week one done. Onwards to the second week. Friday was one of the most exciting tennis days of the year. The women’s match-ups promised plenty and totally delivered. Saturday didn’t quite match the quality but did in terms of seismic shocks! I’m now on holiday in North Wales and it looks like we’ve got really…
The second round is in the books at the 2021 US Open. I was out last night so today’s post is a bumper review of what happened over the last two days in New York. The pictures and videos from Louis Armstrong on Wednesday night were quite something as New York was hit badly by…
The first round is officially in the books at the 2021 US Open. Tuesday’s order of play didn’t have the same grab as Monday and that’s how it played out. I don’t mind a breather after Monday and particularly on first round days which are always so manic. There was a good two hours last…
