Wimbledon Round 1 – Novak v Philip, Naomi v Poots, Coco v Venus & many more!

iainfordyce

Novak Djokovic v Philip Kohlschreiber I suppose opening rounds don’t get tougher than this. Novak will be looking at this one and the first thing that will be on his mind will be the defeat to Kohlschreiber at Indian Wells 6-4 6-4 earlier on this year. The good news for Novak is that since then they have met twice with Novak coming through on both occassions. They did meet at this stage of Wimbledon four years ago with Novak going through in straight sets and I expect Philip to really give him problems but over five sets I only see … Continue reading Wimbledon Round 1 – Novak v Philip, Naomi v Poots, Coco v Venus & many more!

Stuttgart; Naomi’s nightmare, Monterrey rematch, Kerber v Vekic & Latvian matchup

iainfordyce

The draw is out and the majority are on site. Some will arrive later than others due to Fed Cup commitments but what can we look out for in the opening couple of days? Naomi’s nightmare? Top seed Naomi Osaka will be looking to find some momentum on clay. The number one get’s a bye for round one but would have noticed that she could potentially once again play Hsieh in round two. Hsieh showed us all her amazing variety and caused issues for many in Miami including Naomi who will be hoping to avoid her in the second round. … Continue reading Stuttgart; Naomi’s nightmare, Monterrey rematch, Kerber v Vekic & Latvian matchup

Who starred at the Sunshine Double?

iainfordyce

The sunshine double has come to an end. Two weeks at Indian Wells and Miami have provided us with some great memories but who surprised us during this month of tennis? Bianca Andreescu I can’t really start anywhere else, Bianca won Indian Wells and continued her good form in Miami before pulling out injured. Most wins on the tour and first wildcard to win Indian Wells, she has brought her dominative tennis to the court with her forehand and variety causing havoc for the best on the tour. Hubert Hurkacz Hubert really did make a name for himself at both … Continue reading Who starred at the Sunshine Double?

A mesmerising week of tennis in Dubai

iainfordyce

A week in Dubai which left us mesmerised. The tennis was spectacular, if you ever needed an advert for women’s tennis then look no further. I cannot pick a moment because there were so many. The performances and the title win of Belinda Bencic was out of this world, what she achieved was truly magnificent to defeat Halep, Sabalenka, Svitolina and Kvitova in the manner she did to win the title was superb. What about Eli Svitolina? I was as well impressed with her in Dubai this week, she looked like she was a bit more locked into the battle … Continue reading A mesmerising week of tennis in Dubai
