2012 Women's Australian Open – Wiki suggests Kvitova or Na
Published on 11/01/2012 17:21
Although a lot of the value has now gone, the combination of sheer weight of money and our wiki postings make Petra Kvitova the number one choice to walk away with the 2012 Australian Open Women's Title.
A recent wiki posting of Petra Kvitova mentions that the girl from the Czech Republic has a good record both on Australian soil and in the month of January, just click on her link to read more.
As well as the positive mention above she's also been one of the most…
Wimbledon 2011: Womens’ Final – Match Preview
Published on 02/07/2011 08:46
There is always a refreshing simplicity about assessing a Wimbledon final. The pre-tournament news, prediction and rumours have faded away, the endless commentary about who might play who after today’s matches – it has all become ‘clean’ now, a one against one, winner takes all, the end.
Two young women, the Russian-born Maria Sharapova and the Czech ‘leftie’, Petra Kvitova, will meet on centre court this afternoon for the final showdown. It …
Can Serena Williams win a fifth Wimbledon title?
Published on 19/06/2011 22:02
Serena Williams will begin the defence of her Wimbledon title on Tuesday, something which was looking unlikely just a few weeks ago.
Barely a week had passed after Serena’s victory over Vera Zvonareva in the 2010 tournament when she cut her foot on broken glass at a restaurant, the result requiring two operations and months of rest. Blood clots delayed her comeback further and Eastbourne last week was Williams junior’s first competition since Wimbledon last year.…
Caroline Wozniacki hot favourite to win at Indian Wells
Published on 19/03/2011 15:44
Caroline Wozniacki is certainly the shining star of the women’s game at present and she has reached yet another final, this time in the BNP Paribos Open at Indian Wells.
In her semi-final, Wozniacki might have expected a bit more of a challenge from Maria Sharapova, especially as the Russian broke serve on the very first game but in the end, the 6-1, 6-2 scoreline tells it’s own story as the young Dane was vastly superior.
“Definitely didn't…
Tennis News – Wozniacki odds-in to win WTA Dubai final
Published on 20/02/2011 11:59
Danish beauty Caroline Wozniacki is odds-on to win the WTA final in Dubai on Sunday after despatching a gallant Jelena Jankovic in their semi final 7-5 6-3. The first set could have gone either way but Jankovic wasn’t quite able to take her chances when it mattered.
Wozniacki now faces the Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova, who is not likely to be a pushover. Indeed, the head to head stats read just 3-2 in favour of Wozniacki and her Russian opponent has an aggressive…
WTA Dubai News: Caroline Wozniacki returns to number 1 ranking
Published on 18/02/2011 21:40
Caroline Wozniacki will knock Kim Clijsters off the top of the WTA world rankings next week after reaching the semi-finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. The 20-year-old in definitely a player on the up and it will become increasingly difficult for Clijsters to hold on to the number one spot.
World rankings are rather a result of doing well rather than the main focus for any player and Wozniacki told the press;
"I've said all along I wasn't sure…
Wozniacki far too strong for Zvonareva and 2/5 a gift of a price
Published on 10/09/2010 09:57
Caroline Wozniacki has notably not dropped a set in the US Open thus far and she looks a solid bet to get past Vera Zvonareva in the opening women’s semi final at Flushing Meadow. The Russian has reached her first semi-final this year and is a top 10 player but she really struggled to get through her quarter final and it is hard to think she is going to be up to beating the Dane, who is in tremendous form.
Vera believes that people are underestimating Wozniacki,…
Clijsters to make it 7-6 against Venus Williams in the US Open SF
Published on 10/09/2010 09:10
It is hard to believe that Venus Williams is now 30 but the world number 4 remains a formidable player at the highest level. In reaching the semi-final against Kim Clijsters, she made fairly hard work of despatching French Open champion and world number 4, Francesca Schiavone. Although the wind was blamed in part, Venus served 9 double faults and made 33 unforced errors in the QF, stats which on the face of it cannot be repeated if she is to beat Kim Clijsters this evening…
Serena Williams will miss US Open warm-up after foot operation
Published on 17/07/2010 22:41
Misfortune can strike us all and it certainly has struck Serena Williams, who bizarrely has reportedly cut her foot on broken glass in a restaurant. The injury isn’t too serious although neither is it just a minor cut it would seem as an operation was necessary, rendering the World number one doubtful for the next three tournaments prior to the US Open. Serena, who recently retained her Wimbledon crown may miss a trio of hardcourt events in Istanbul, Cincinnati and…
