Kiki Bertens Surprise Roland Garros 2016 Semifinalist, Now Comes The Biggest Test
Ok, I definitely didn’t see this one coming. I thought Angelique Kerber, the 3rd seed, would breeze through her first round match with Kiki Bertens at Roland Garros 2016. That didn’t happen.

Caroline Wozniacki took another step in her quest to win her first event of 2012 with a 6-2 6-3 win over Klara Zakopalova at the 2012 KDB Korea Open. Caro moves on to face Ekaterina Makarova for a place in the final. Wozniacki is 4-0 against Makarova, but at this point I would throw out … Continue reading
Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitova Advance In First Round Of Wimbledon 2012
For this post, I’m going to take a trip down memory lane. It will be easy, because it wasn’t that long ago. With all the pundits and prognosticators picking Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams to win Wimbledon 2012, it seems Victoria Azarenka has been lost amongst the handful of players seen capable of winning the … Continue reading
