V Williams v Radwanska: Williams leads the head to heads 5-1 winning their last 5 matches. They haven’t played since March 2010. The matches with the two Williams sisters are difficult to predict at the moment with their absence from the tour. There seem to be two camps. Those who feel that they are too [...]

Miami, 26th March
Stosur v S Williams: The last time they met was in the US Open final last year. Stosur won that match really quite easily 6-2, 6-3 and we saw another Serena outburst when the umpire gave Stosur a point that Williams thought she had won. Williams had shouted, “come on!!” before Stosur hit her return. [...]
Miami, 23rd March
Wozniak v Niculescu: Niculescu has had a reasonable season so far reaching the quarter finals in Doha losing to Sam Stosur in 3 sets. However since then she has had 2 weak losses. She lost the second set against Kirilenko 6-0 and then lost as a strong favourite in Indian Wells to Sofia Arvidsson. Wozniack [...]
Miami, March 21st
Andujar c Giraldo: Two clay courters who have successfully developed their hard court games in the last 12 months. All their previous matches were on clay and Giraldo leads the head to head 2-1. Andujar won their most recent match which was at last year’s French Open. Most of the stats over the last 3 months [...]
Indian Wells 2012, 16th March
The matches start 2 hours later tonight! Why? Jeez I didn’t get to bed until 5am this morning. I may need to forget sleep tonight altogether. It would have been better to have Nadal and Aza as games 3 and 4 as I wouldn’t mind missing those. No consideration. Del Potro v Federer: Head to [...]
Indian Wells 2012, 12th March
Cibulkova v Vinci: Cibulkova leads the head to heads 2-1 although Vinci won their last match ( on grass). Vinci has improved her ranking by over 20 places in the last 12 months and is in excellent form. Cibulkova is favoured by the market despite the fact that she retired in Dubai and has recent [...]
Dubai Mens Finals 2012
Murray v Federer: Its about time they had another battle. Murray leads the head to heads 8-6. The last time they played was in the 2010 World Tour Finals and it was Federer who won easily in 2 sets. Murray won 6 of their first 8 matches. Since then its 4-2 Federer. Murray’s two wins [...]
Thursday’s matches, 1st March
Kohlschreiber v Dodig: Kohlschreiber won their only previous match in March last year. Kohlscreiber beat an in-form Rochus surprisingly easily in the last round. He had a poor match against Seppi but was reportedly suffering from flu. That would make sense as it was totally out of sync with the rest of his 2012 performances. [...]
Sunday’s Finals, 26th Feb
Open 13 – 14:15 Del Potro v Llodra: Head to heads are 2-0 to Del Potro. They last played on the 13th Feb in Rotterdam. Del Potro won that in 3 sets. Llodra has proved to be very difficult to break this week. He has lost just 1 set and all 9 sets have either [...]
Friday’s matches, 24th Feb
Copa Clara – 17:00 Wawrinka v Nishikori: They have never played before which I think actually favours Nishikori. Compared to other surfaces he is a bit of an unknown quantity on clay. He and his team will know all about Wawrinka on clay and will have devised a game plan accordingly. Both players are qute [...]
