Compared to the men over the last ten years, the women’s draw has been slightly more unpredictable. At least in the sense that more unseeded players tend to make it a little deeper into the tournament (I’m not so certain that will happen this year though). Here are the lastContinue Reading
The French Open draw has now been done. There’s enough previews on who the top seeds will face en-route to the finals, so it’s time for a preview to rate the chances of an unseeded player making a deep run. Over the last ten years, Roland Garros hasn’t thrown upContinue Reading
The second of two 250 events in the lead up week to the French Open, is held about 500km down the highway. Here’s a preview of what’s happening in Lyon this week. While not as much top end star power as Geneva, the depth is relatively similar. Frenchman Ugo HumbertContinue Reading
It’s one week before Roland Garros, and you wouldn’t normally expect to see the world number 1 in action. But here we are, in Switzerland, with the world number one. Here’s a quick preview of what we can expect in Geneva this week. Novak Djokovic has taken a Wildcard toContinue Reading
Back-to-back Masters events is not ideal in my opinion, but nonetheless, we head to Rome. After a Madrid event with a number of high-profile injuries, the Rome tournament has lost some star power. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will both miss out, but apart from those two, the rest ofContinue Reading
Well, here we are, ready to kick off another two week Masters event. I’m definitely not in love with this format, but let’s do a preview of the WTA Rome Masters event, as there will still be some quality tennis played if Madrid is anything to go by. Poland’s IgaContinue Reading
A quick preview on the upcoming ATP Madrid Masters: There’s no Novak Djokovic this week, so Jannik Sinner will go into his first Masters event as the top seeded player. He will potentially face Lorenzo Sonego, Jordan Thompson, and Karen Khachanov in his first three matches. Not the easiest assignments,Continue Reading
It’s time for the WTA Madrid Masters Masters event, which these days, almost feels as big as a major event (sadly in my opinion). Here is my quick preview: Jess Pegula is the only top ten player who will miss, as she apparently ‘got hurt’ this week. Not much more isContinue Reading
Holger Rune returns to Munich aiming to do what no one has done before – win three titles in a row here. In all honesty, he seems to have a very nice draw, and I’d be surprised if we don’t see him in the final. Zverev is the top seedContinue Reading
A strong event, as always, even with the late withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz. We still have 5 of the 8 quarter-finalists from Monte-Carlo. Plus, possibly the return of Rafael Nadal! Musetti hasn’t set the world on fire this season, and if he can get through his first match, he’ll face theContinue Reading
