Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova looks set to play at Wimbledon after recovering from a career-threatening hand injury which happened back in December where she was stabbed by an intruder.

 

 

Johanna Konta out again in the first round of the French Open in three sets after taking the first set 6-1.

 

Kerber went out on Sunday in straight sets.

 

 

Out in straight sets went Djokovic in straight sets to Thiem.

 

Murray through to the semis in four sets against Nishikori.

 

Anyone watching the French Open?

 

 

Yeah I'm watching it, Cant see anyone beating Nadal to be honest although he seems to of had easy draw and a retirement so it all helps but Thiem will be interesting as he is only player to beat Nadal on clay this year so far!.

 

Djokovic totally went to pieces in their last set yesterday never seen a player go away from the match like that before, no routine like his usual ball bounces he completely gave up. Murray and Nishikori was an up down game but Murray seemed to get better as match went on, his previous two matches he played well but I think Wawrinka will beat him in the semis.

 

Womens side is interesting it has been so open this year, personally I dont like Halep or Pliskova and either of them being number 1 depending on who wins and how far get seems a bit void. Feels like all the slams be the same this year no Serena really seems to dampen the womens side, and Kerber is just nowhere. Sharapova I really dont care about and ideally wouldn't of returned but hopefully Azarenka and Kvitova returns will provide more spice on the womens side.

 

Konta I expected to go out Hsieh is a top doubles player tricky and has been highly ranked before and clay is Kontas least favourite surface but hoping she has better grass season as she is playing all the warm up events prior to Wimbledon

Halep will face Ostapenko in the French Open final. Ostapenko the first unseeded female player to reach the French Open final since 1983.

 

 

Can see the Murray v Wawrinka match going to five sets, I think. I think Wawrinka will beat Murray also.

 

We'll see what happens though.

 

 

First set goes to Murray in a very tight set on a tie-break.

 

 

Can see the Murray v Wawrinka match going to five sets, I think. I think Wawrinka will beat Murray also.

 

We'll see what happens though.

I was right about the result,

 

It will be a Nadal and Wawrinka final that should be a cracker.

That looked a fantastic match between Murray & Stan and although the final set seemed a bit underwhelming after the brilliance before it was more Stan playing amazing & not Murray giving up Novak-style.

 

Really really hoping for a Halep win tomorrow, one of my faves on the WTA and have been rooting for her to win a Slam for a good few years now. Although I do like the look of this Ostapenko girl as well who has come out of nowhere!

I remember Ostapenko winning junior Wimbledon. She looks to be a very good player but I think Halep will win easily tomorrow.

That was unbelievable stuff from Ostepenko today, 50 winners is crazy. I'm sad for Halep but she was blown off the court at times today.

Ostapenko was 150-1 to win it. Very pleased that she won it.

My favourite stat is that she is the first player to win their debut title at a Slam since Gustavo Kuerten 20 years prior at the same tournament, who won it the day she was born, spooky!

Rafa Nadal won his 10th French Open title Sunday....

An remarkable achievement for Nadal in winning his 10th French Open title. I don't think we'll see someone win 10 of the same Grand Slam tournament for a long time. The 'God of Clay' he is. I'm very pleased that he has done it.
