Raise your Glass for the Indian Wells Champions!
The WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells finished this weekend and I was delighted to celebrate title number 15 for Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in the women’s doubles. Following on from winning the 2023 Australian Open title, this cemented them even more firmly as the undisputed number one team, and giving them an 11-0…

What a Difference a Day Makes…
The WTA1000 event at Indian Wells is sometimes known as the fifth Grand Slam. At least that’s what Indian Wells would like to be, however one difference is that players do not get a day off in between every match. And what a two days it has been for Petra Kvitova. In my previous post,…

Everything Everywhere All At Once!
On Oscar night in Hollywood and the third round at Indian Wells, it really was a case of Everything Everywhere All At Once! My nightmare came true and Petra Kvitova and Barbora Krejcikova‘s matches happened at exactly the same time. For me, this was actually a test of who is my real favourite as it…

I’m torn..!
Such a weird match today in the third round of the Dubai Duty Free classic. My two favourite players, Petra Kvitova and Barbara Krejcikova played against each other, and I honestly did not know who I was cheering for! Okay, not quite true. I will always cheer for Petra, no matter what. However, this match…

New Year, New Slam Champ!
It’s the end of January 2023, and after one month of the new season plenty has happened. The Australian Open 2023 was very entertaining and ended with a great win for Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka has been a top-10 player for five years but has always fallen short in Grand Slams. It took several years for…

That was the year that was..
So the WTA season 2022 has finally ended. Since the last entry, the main event was the Year End Championships which saw Caroline Garcia top a terrific second half of 2022 with the singles title and a surprise defeat for dominant number 1, Iga Swiatek. My main interest was in the doubles, but sadly ended…

A Bad Day in Guadalajara!
The final event of the main WTA season in Guadalajara kicked off this week, but today was a bad day for my favourites. Sadly, both Petra Kvitova and Barbora Krejcikova lost today in matches where they really didn’t play very well at all.

After taking the title in Tallinn last week, Krejcikova followed up with an even more impressive run and her first WTA 500 level title. Coming into this match,…
