Wimbledon is back and so are we! Highs for Murray, lows for Serena, and Centre Court vibes
<p>Points to Defend is back and better than ever! New logo, posts on social, and a new starting point - the first Wimbledon in two years - what better way to start a glow up. Everyone loves the grass court season, no one quite as much as Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios, making their return to The Championships in incredible form - albeit thanks to the fans on centre court. Murray looks like the British icon of old, shouting at himself no matter the scoreline. We unfortunately lost Serena Williams early in the tournament - but what an outfit and in the brief 6 games she played she had the whole court watching her. Roger Federer kicked off his quest for a 9th Wimbledon title in mixed fashion, showing us maybe clay is his new favourite surface. He did look good whilst doing it though. We can't really look past Novak Djokovic either, bullying poor Jack Draper by letting him have the first set before crushing him in 4 and making Kevin Anderson relive his 2018 loss to the world no.1. The WTA are quickly losing their top seeds, with 3 of the top 10 left in the draw, whilst the likes of Carla Suarez Navarro and Kiki Bertens bowed out of their last Wimbledon in style. With slips and upsets across the board, the first two rounds of The Championships really have given us the content we missed out on last year. </p>

Big Clay Bonanza Roundup! Tsitsipas wins his first Masters 1000, Rafa becomes a 12-time Champ in Barcelona and Barty does the double in Stuttgart
<p>With clay tournaments coming thick and fast over the last few weeks, we had some new faces prevail and some older heads staying true to their winning mantras. Stefanos Tsitsipas won his maiden Masters 1000 with a flawless week in Monte Carlo, beating the likes of Rublev, Garin and the ever-impressive Karatsev on the way to his first title. Stefanos is surely looking like the next king of clay after an 18-set unbeaten streak on the surface. Rafa started the tournament in classic Rafa fashion, but was undone by Rublev in the semi-finals, starting a streak of difficult matches for the Spaniard as he looked to capture another title on Pista Rafa Nadal. Novak Djokovic, making his first appearance since AO, lost in remarkable fashion to Dan Evans, the Brit overwhelming the world no.1 in straight sets on his least favourite surface. </p> <p>Barcelona came about, and Rafa dropped the opening set of his first match to Ilya Ivashka, sparking a week of unforced errors and double faults. Despite this, Nadal was able to capture a 12th Barcelona final, besting Tsitsipas in the final after the longest match of the season so far at 3:38. The two went back and forth, Rafa having 2 championship points in the second before the Greek eventually took it to a third. Tsitsipas had another fantastic week in Spain, beating the likes of Auger-Aliassime and Jannik Sinner on his way to the final.</p> <p>In Stuttgart, Ash Barty showed everyone why she deserves to be world no.1 with yet another title to her name, doing the double quite literally and picking up the doubles title as well. The Australian bested Sabalenka in the final, off the back of her own impressive week, who sadly picked up an adductor injury in the second set. The Belarusian beat the likes of Simona Halep, fresh off a shoulder injury, to make the final before sadly falling short to Ash - but took the loss well on social media. Ash was untouchable throughout the week though, coming from a set and a break down to beat Svitolina, who herself had to come through Kerber and Kvitova. She became the first woman to secure both the singles and doubles titles at Stuttgart.</p> <p>The women have already started in Madrid, with Muguruza sadly having to pull out of the tournament with a left thigh injury. Ash has started strong again, beating Shelby Rogers in what we think is their fourth meeting this season, whilst current RG champion Swiatek started the week with a convincing 6-1 6-1 first round victory - her first tournament since the French Open.</p> <p>We end on some positive news, firstly the return of Roger Federer in Geneva this year before playing the French Open, and secondly a massive congratulations to Carla Suarez Navarro for beating cancer!</p>

Miami Open roundup! Hurkacz wins his first singles Masters 1000, Barty retains after a two year gap and some exciting GEMSLife news!
<p>The Miami Open gave us surprises in both the ATP and WTA draws, with the lowest ranked men's final at the tournament since 1985. Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner both made their Masters 1000 final debuts, with the Polish star running out eventual winner after a dominant performance in the final. This maiden title takes Hubie to 16th in the rankings, whilst Sinner moves up to 23rd at only the age of 19 - god we're both old.</p> <p>Ash Barty defended her 2019 (yes, 2019) Miami Open crown in a convincing fashion with wins over Victoria Azarenka, Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina before a walkover in the final against Bianca Andreescu. Andreescu was on court for over 10 hours before sadly succumbing to an injury, but stole the show this week alongside Coco, her camera-shy dog.</p> <p>Sebastian Korda made waves with his first top-10 victory over, you guessed it, Diego Schwartzman. He just loves giving these upcoming stars their first big wins (FAO Musetti and Karatsev).</p> <p>Karatsev couldn't expand on his Dubai winning form, but the latest 'Race to Turin' ranking see's him up in 5th alongside the likes of Djokovic, Medvedev and Fucsovics - fresh off completing the Fucsovics-Rublev trilogy.</p> <p>Sakkari had yet another outstanding tournament, bagelling Naomi Osaka in the quarterfinals whilst also having great matches against Samsonova and Pegula - the latest in a long line of talented young Americans on the WTA.</p> <p>Halep couldn't overcome a shoulder injury that plagued her since her opening match, a day which saw her, Barty, Sabalenka and Elina all face a bit of trouble in their opening sets. </p> <p>But the real winner was Svitolina herself, tying the knot with Gael Monfils after a turbulent few months and bagged herself (potentially) a new car from the same old man. Points to Defend and Milos Raonic are three very happy people #July2021</p>
