2018 Tennis Season
Kyle Edmund has withdrawn from Auckland this week with his ankle problem, more a precaution then anything, so be ready for Aus Open. Konta is in to defend her title in Sydney where her first round is against Radwanksa, which was last years final line up!, Radwanska racket change last year has seen her tumble down the rankings after being stable in top ten for a long time but a lot reckon her time is up as her game style is no longer a force it once was. Other Sydney results US champ Sloane Stephens continues to slump another first round defeat against Qualifier Ciorgi, rising star Sevastova also lost, Kerber came through a 3 setter against Safarova, Ostapenko and Mladenovic also lost. In Hobart a place where Heather Watson won a title in 2015 she came through qualies to make the main draw and then took out Sorana Cirstea in the first round, while the wildcard of Bouchard who a few said didn't deserve a WC where as Heather did as a former champ , slumped to a first round loss to Sabalenka. Other first round losses at Hobart for Nara, Maria, Pliskova and Babos. Last weeks title winners: Brisbane ATP/WTA Men Kyrgios BT Harrison 6/4 6/2 Kontinen & Peers BT Mayer & Zeballos 3/6 6/3 10/2 Ladies Svitolina BT Sasnovich 6/2 6/1 Bertens & Schuurs BT Klepac & Martinez Sanchez 7/5 6/2 Doha ATP Monfils BT Rublev 6/2 6/3 Marach & Pavic BT Murray & Soares 6/2 7/6(8/6) Pune ATP Simon BT Anderson 7/6(7/4) 6/2 Haase & Middelkoop BT Herbert & Simon 7/6(7/5) 7/6(7/5) Shenzhen WTA Halep BT Siniakova 6/1 2/6 6/0 Begu & Halep BT Krejcikova & Siniakova 1/6 6/1 10/8 Auckland WTA Goerges BT Wozniacki 6/4 7/6(7/4) Errani & Schoofs BT Hozumi & Kato 7/5 6/1

2018 Tennis Season
Yeah its a massive shame I can see Murray being out most of year, especially if has to do surgery maybe even possibly, dare I say it.. retiring. Still a lot of doubts for the Aus Open due to fitness a few tests to come for Djokovic, Nadal, Warwrinka and then you have Konta, Muguruza, Azarenka and a few others on womens side. Konta said she was unsure if just a muscle pull or spasm but wont be able to assess til the morning. Kyle Edmund won on the plus side in Brisbane making it to the quarters will play either Millman or Dmitrov

EastEnders
oh I've been loving it lately been a nice change from dull and nothing happening. Its been comical but thats half of the point it was all meant to go wrong and it was funny, if Corrie had done it it would of been classed as a classic but as its Eastenders which is only supposed to do dark and dismal its not allowed but either way I liked it and found it easy to follow (some on twitter obviously cant follow the alphabet judging by some comments) Halfway if sticking about is obviously going to be Whitneys next love interest but his line to Shirley of 'Nice jugs' was brilliant light relief and I'm liking the fresh risky way Eastenders has been lately and I am totally loving Masood's aunt Mariam although her and her husband seem too nice and good so wont be long before some dark secret comes out. Ciara I like, comes across as dont mess with me kinda gal, makes a nice change to have some hard face no nonsense female who seems to be quite a threat. I did wonder why an hour last night, it was obviously two halves joined as one, it is also on tonight and tomorrow as football is on Friday

Konta came through in 3 sets to the last 8 will play either Svitolina or Konjuh Murray post on his feeds is very touching, he has surgery as option but from the sounds of it it might finish his career if not successful I really feel for him

2018 Tennis Season
I think it is going to be a very interesting year to see how the 'Big' names try to come back, so far not so well...I'm expecting a rise of the young pretenders and maybe some older ones falling by the side, maybe attempt to keep up but end up falling down rankings and retiring. Murray just pulled out of Brisbane, Djokovic has pulled out of his warm up event as well on the mens side and Nadal is plagued with his knee again, Wawrinka still not back on it either yet on the womens side Muguruza just pulled out of Brisbane during the match due to cramp for 4th year in row!! Anyway as season begins and just 13 days to AusOpen.. Brit Watch Kyle Edmund beat Shapovalov in the first round of Brisbane, Konta beat Madison Keys in 3 sets for her first win in an age plays her 2nd round at the moment down a break in first set against Tomljanovic Watson lost in final round of qualies but got lucky loser spot and lost in first round Naomi Broady lost in qualies as did her brother Liam Selected Others Ostapenko started with a loss to the lower ranked Pliskova sister Kristina Halep, Sharapova, Radwanska and Wozniacki all made winning starts

2017 Tennis Season
British number 2, Aljaz Bedene has announced he is switching back to Slovenia. This is down to the fact the ITF wont allow him to play for GB in Davis Cup and Olympics, I personally think he should be able to , they changed rules during his application process and had submitted everything before they announced the changes. He wants to play Davis Cup and aim for 2020 Olympics and only way he can is by going back to Slovenia. Good for Slovenia on tennis front but bad for GB he's a good player

Was hoping Goffin would win just for the total reason thats its a topsy turvy end of year really. ATP Final Dimitrov BT Goffin 7/5 4/6 6/3 and in sad news Jana Novotna has died aged 49 from cancer. Jana is one of my earliest tennis memories when she broke down crying after losing to Steffi
