Global Chick News
It’s what all the cool kids do. Such can be the lottery of ticket-buying for the World Tour Finals, you have to feel for ticket holders for either the day session, the night session or, heaven forefend, both sessions on Day 2, when the crowd were treated to two one-sided encounters that both ended in an hour (but remember, tube time, so bonus).
Now we have had the first rounds, it will be time to get the calculators out, take shoes and socks off to work out all the possible permutations as the two winners and the two losers of the first two matches (still with me?) get to grips in round two.
It all started so relaxed with British No. 1 and home-crowd hero Andy Murray looking relaxed and posing for photographs with waiting fans at the quay where the players arrive by boat. There were rousing cheers, there was an early break – oh it was all going so well.
Well with a day one result (and indeed a shirt) that was as grey as the conditions on a gloomy Sunday, the crowds will return to the giant umbrella once more to see World No. 1 and new daddy Novak Djokovic against the wonderfully unassuming Marin Cilic.
It’s raining, it’s pouring – isn’t that how the nursery rhyme goes. Oh we are sure there is some historical significance to the lines, but really what it all comes down to is this. On Sunday we can all race into the cavernous dome that is the O2 which is, let’s face it, the shape of a giant umbrella – handy.
On a sunny day in Eastbourne the defending WTA champion joined the seed carnage of the early rounds as she bowed out to USA power-hitter Madison Keys. She books herself an all-American clash with Lauren Davis who put paid to former champion Daniela Hantuchova in some style with a straight sets 6-3 6-3 win.
The Eastbourne organisers must be drowning their sorrows in ice-cream by the sea-side as wildcard fourth seed, former World No. 1 and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka joined Agnieszka Radwanska on an early train back to Wimbledon.
Greetings. Global Chick here on my way to and from clay events by way of a quick trip to Los Angeles. ( Love that the tennis channel is here ) I'm staying @ Beverly Hills Hotel for probably my last time.
Jan - Michael Gambill has been globe trotting my style lately. I follow him on Instagram. He has been to Los Angeles , Hawaii , NYC , Doha , Melbourne , China. And that's all in the past week. No. Just kidding but in something like the last six weeks.
From the moment Roger Federer takes the court ( stage ) the crowd shall settle in. Rule number 8.06 in VIII in the code on page 182. In the latest edition of the rule book.
He was the Australian Open Junior Champion in 2008. He has won the prestigious junior tournament Orange Bowl twice.
Ok. Here's the last sighting. She seems to have returned to the south of France. Possibly hanging around some movie people. "Hollywood types." (New bf is Angelina ?) Personally I don't think she has been the same since she went to Cannes for the film festival
Wimbledon – Exciting times and the non tennis enthusiast’s one and only tournament of the year is about to begin
One sighting was Lake Como, or was it the Cannes Fim Festival… This just in she is ready for Wimbledon
Hantuchova overcame Italy's Sara Errani 6-0, 6-2 in just over one hour. Number four seed Hantuchova didn't drop a set during the tournament.
