I’ve had enough. If you have followed me for a little while, you will know that when most of the world deserts a tennis player for their behaviour, I am generally there looking for the silver lining as to why a player has behaved in … Continue readingWhile you’re in it, try and read the room.
It is quite windy in Qatar where the AO qualifying is currently taking, and that is fantastic news for Cem Ilkel. Fresh off his round 1 victory over Peter Gojowczyk, this looks to be a great underdog spot to attack and oppose Halys, who is … Continue readingIlkel vs Halys: ATP Australian Open Qualifying Preview
Am I the only one a little surprised to see Federico Ferreira Silva as a clear favourite in this match? I am not as convinced by his exploits on hardcourt as the bookmakers and others who appear to have bet into this market. I don’t … Continue readingFerreira Silva vs Milojevic: ATP Australian Open Qualifying Preview
Olivia Gadecki was one of the most active players in Australia during the UTR Pro Series, and had quite a large amount of success across the many tournaments that were run.

That started the other day in defeating Storm Sanders, a … Continue readingWTA Australian Open Qualifying: Juvan vs Kalinina
This play falls along the same lines as the play of Kubler to defeat Stakhovsky. Taro Daniel did look as though he needed a set and a half to adjust to the conditions in round 1 against Cid, running away with the match 6-2 6-1 … Continue readingATP Australian Open Qualifying: Daniel vs Marterer
Time: Approx 05:00pm AEDT Short and sweet again (happy to answer any particular questions, just DM me). Whilst I did feel as though Zavatska was value as a big underdog in round 1, it looks as though there has been a bit of an overreaction … Continue readingWTA Australian Open Qualifying Preview: Raina vs Zavatska
You won’t see me supporting 35 year old Sergiy Stakhovsky a great deal across the course of 2021, as he isn’t quite the player we remember from the peak of his powers, notably on the grass. Whilst it wasn’t the best performance from Kubler in … Continue readingATP Australian Open Qualifying Preview: Stakhovsky vs Kubler
