Osaka’s backhand isn’t her strongest but her ability to redirect it is impeccable.

It's not often you say a backhand of a player isn't their strongest shot but their ability to redirect it is stunning, that's just a compliment to how good she is, her forehand and backhand and lets take a look at the two hander. She is good defensively with the two hands and offensively and...

Nothing wrong with being predictable when you are that good!

Juan Martin Del Porto is one of the tours most talented players. He has never failed to produce and perform on the biggest stages and there is a predictability about his game but it isn't a bad thing at all. I always say players need to be less predictable and I stand by that, some...

Back in the big time! Del Potro takes Indian Wells!

The tower always delivers. Going into Indian Wells I said it felt like he was coming into some good form but even I didn't expect him to walk away with the title but I couldn't be happier. He saw off so many different styles of tennis from De Minaur, Ferrer, Mayer, Kohlschreiber, Raonic and then...

The ladies that ruled in the desert!

Everyone wants to be there and at Indian Wells this year hundreds of players turned up and a theme which occurred from day 1 until day 14 was that the ladies rocked it but who took the deserved headlines at recognition down in the Californian dessert? Serena Williams I mean, where else do I start?...

Fearless! Osaka dominates to secure first WTA title!

No fear, both ladies going into what would be the biggest finals of their respective careers to date showed no fear in getting there. Both ladies deserve a hell of a lot of respect for what they have done over the last few months. Both are young, driven, committed and fearless as they 100% believe...

Thrashed! Kasatkina takes 58 minutes to see off Kerber 6-0 6-2

Well, quarter finals don't go more one-sided than that! In Qatar I watched Daria Kasatkina take on CiCi Bellis and during the match which Kasatkina lost 5-7 1-4 having retired with an injury I said she ran out of ideas and I stand by that. Her performance against CiCi lacked any thought. She continued to...

Hyeon Chung making a name for himself once again!

Hyeon Chung was one of the stand out performers in Melbourne now the South Korean is at it again with wins against Berdych and Cuevas the 21 year old is now in his first Masters 1000 quarter final. I first seaw Hyeon play at the backend of last year when he took part in the...

Halep 7-5 6-1 Wang – Cahill’s pep-talk vital as Simona turned on the style

After a shaky performance against Caroline Dolehide in the previous round you wouldn't have blamed Simona Halep for being nervous and you could see the panic in her game from the first ball desperate for a good start. The first four games of the match went with serve, the following four were all breaks of...

Borna Coric finding form in the desert!

Borna Coric is one talented tennis player. It feels like the 21 year old has been around for so long. He has multiple wins over Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal and last year picked up his first ATP tour title in Morocco and his biggest Grand Slam win against Alex Zverev in New York. I...

Serena – “I’m playing with nothing to lose, only to gain”

Serena Williams' comeback to the tour was special, it was the mother of all comebacks. She may only won one match and lost to sister Venus last night but to have her back is incredible for women's tennis. She looked sharp but also said she had no expectations on herself which was odd for her...
