Roland Garros – First Round Battles

Casper Ruud vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga A farewell for Jo, he has been incredible for the sport over the last 18 years. He made his Roland Garros debut in 2005 and this will be his 13th and final match of a wonderfully exciting career. It probably isn't what Casper Ruud needs. It will be an atmosphere...

First Round Battles in Rome

Roberto Bautista Agut vs Alex de Minaur It is going to be a good battle between two of tennis' toughest baseline players. I do think this could be a big opportunity for Alex to get a win and hopefully some momentum going, he impressed me in Barcelona recently but good runs are few and far...

Match Point from Miami

Francisco Cerundolo's hard court and Masters 1000 debut in Miami! Before Miami the 23 year old from Argentina had never played a hard court match on the main ATP Tour or a match at a Masters 1000 event, he finished in Miami in the semi-finals! It has been a meteoric rise for the Argentine that...

A sad end to the days tennis at Indian Wells but a reminder why it is important to simply be kind whether as a spectator or on social media.

Naomi Osaka was the last on court on Saturday night at Indian Wells and her focus will now shift to Miami. A 0-6 4-6 loss to Kudermetova knocked out the former world number one in what was a difficult watch in difficult circumstances. A few minutes into the match someone in the crowd shouted a...

Naomi Osaka’s return to action was a welcome one for tennis following time away from the game with the former number one looking to take it “one day at a time”

We never know what a tournament or season will bring us but one thing we knew we would see the welcome return of Naomi Osaka down at Melbourne Park. Naomi took time off last year to protect her own mental health, spend valuable time with her friends and family and find that happiness again. Listening...

Seven round one battles to watch at the Australian Open

Cam Norrie vs Seb Korda Two players I really enjoy watching and would hope they would gain some momentum in Melbourne. I don’t think the match-up will be straight forward for Cam who seemed to be off the boil at the ATP Cup, he showed good tennis but consistency in the matches was lacking. The...

Match Point from Adelaide & Melbourne

Thanasi Kokkinakis deep run in Adelaide There isn't many better sights in tennis than watching Thanasi Kokkinakis play but play in front of a home crowd. He has a wonderful connection with the Australian fans and the Aussie who picked up a wildcard for Adelaide this week. His run ended in the semi-finals but should...

Questions will be answered, expectations placed, welcome returns and some surprises along the way, what will Australia deliver as the 2022 season kicks off?

Not everything may always be as it once was, this can be said in sport and life but one thing stays the same is the tennis season kicking off down under. We never know what will unfold but what we do know is there will be plenty of questions, answers, expectations and some surprises along...

Leylah Fernandez continues to write thrilling chapters in her fairytale run at the US Open

Coming into the US Open it had been a difficult ride for Leylah Fernandez on the main WTA Tour. Having won the title in Monterrey she had slipped under the radar, the Canadian was struggling in some qualifying events and won just four of her previous eleven WTA main draw matches. Starting your US Open...

US Open R3 Picks

Victoria Azarenka vs Garbine Muguruza We have seen glimpses over the course of the season of what Garbine Muguruza can do. I like her game but if you asked me to remember a match of hers from 2021 it would be the loss to Osaka in Melbourne despite having two match points. She was runner-up...
