Goodbye Clay, Hello Grass!

The most important point/shot that helped Alcaraz to win
the French Open

This match has been talked about and dissected enough so I won't bore you with any more match analysis. Of course Sinner had the 3 match points at 5-3 0-40 on the Alcaraz serve, but the point that stood out for me was in the 5th set at 6-5 Sinner and 30 all with Alcaraz on a 2nd serve. 
 
Sinner hit a great return crosscourt to the absolute corner of the baseline and at that instant it looked certain that he would win this point. Alcaraz managed to play a "squash shot" on the full sliding stretch to slice the ball back to the opposite corner and win the point!
 
There were so many tug of war moments between these 2 amazing players but I felt that this moment was the one that finally changed the momentum of the match and it was hardly talked about. After this point Alcaraz stormed through the match tie break.
 
Alcaraz explained the importance of this game at 5-6 in the 5th set below.
“The three match points ... those match points down were, honestly, they weren’t great points. It is great, honestly, that I saved match points but it (they weren’t) that good points (compared to) 6-5 in the fifth at 15-30 or 30-all, or advantage for me, 40-All.
“Those points I remember pretty clearly and honestly I still don’t know how I did it. I mean, it was balls on the line, slicing the line. He was dominating that game. Honestly, I still don’t know how I saved that game. Probably I would choose that game (as the key).”

 
In my view that one shot at 30 all was the most important of the entire match. Have a look below to see if you agree? Check in at 9 minutes and 43 seconds to see the squash shot and the end of that amazing game.

Grass Courts Season Up and Running
After the drama of the French open and all of the amazing clay court season I must admit finding it hard to get involved in watching too much of the initial grass court events.

However, the new women's Queens competition served up a real treat with the 38 year old from Germany, Tatjana Maria, slicing and dicing her opponents to death on the slick Andy Murray Arena. What a great story with 3 kids and showing the importance of slice on the grass.

And now at Queens for the men's it's great to see Dan Evans beat Tiafoe and hopefully get his game back on track. Like, Tatjana Maria, grass obviously suits his game, especially at Queens where the courts are quicker than at Wimbledon. Let's hope that Dan has a good run at Wimbledon, especially as he forfeited so many points by playing with Andy Murray at the Olympics thereby allowing us all to see Andy competing in his own  distinctive way for the last time.

I suppose at Wimbledon it would be too much to ask for another Alcaraz v Sinner final or maybe a Djokovic v Sinner or Alcaraz final?? I can't see anyone other than these magnificent 3 players taking the crown.

My main hope for the women's event is that Sabalenka finds some humility whether she wins or not. Her comments after the French Open final beggared belief for a world number 1 player and I would think that she has a long way to go in getting much public support in the near future. Time for her to grow up and be the role model that young female tennis players need all over the world. At the moment Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini are showing how an adult should behave and inspiring lots of young girls.

We're Stilling Buzzing from the Rome Masters!

29/5/2025

We are already planning for 2026 with details to be announced soon - 7th to 11th & 11th to 15th May.
Rome Masters - click HERE

Next stop: Lucca and Florence.
Think morning top class tuition on beautiful clay courts, afternoons exploring cobbled streets and Tuscan hills, and evenings filled with great food, wine, and laughter.
Whether you’re here for the tennis, the views, or both – these weeks are something truly special.

Still some spaces left on our special hosted weeks in Lucca (16th - 23rd August) and Florence (30th August to 6 September).

How to play one up and one back doubles?

Paolini & Errani v Andreeva & Shnaider in Rome
Being the most common form of doubles at club level, who should you watch to help you understand the key elements done at the highest level (but still relevant to club play)?
 
 In Rome we were fortunate to see up close on both the match and practice courts Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani. They won the doubles for the second year running and also won the most recent Olympic gold medal.
 
In my view their matches were the highlight of the entire tournament. The fun and energy that they bring to the court is a joy to watch but what are the key points of their play that club players can attempt to emulate?
 
1. The positive energy that they consistently manage to produce is fundamental. They do it in different ways with Paolini staying relaxed and smiling often (much like Alcaraz) and Errani, who has a more abrasive personality, with great determination and resilience. Due to this very effective personality combination they are able to navigate the complexities of the tennis scoring system and play well at the most important times.
 
So for you, the club player, find someone who complements well with you mentally, first and foremost.
 
2. Errani may not have the biggest hit in the world but her shot selection is absolute perfection. She almost never plays the wrong shot and her topspin lob in particular gets her out of trouble for returns, cross court rallies and creating opportunities for both her and Paolini to get to the net.
 
As a club player at least one of the team must be good at lobbing whether it be an aggressive topspin or a more defensive push or slice. This will keep you in the rallies and be a strong counter against the bigger hitters.
 
3. In an ideal world one of the team should be strong from the back of the court and the other one great (or at least decent) around the net. Paolini is no slouch at the net but her groundies are awesome allowing Errani ( a great volleyer) to pick off interceptions.
 
Try to combine with another club player who can fill the role you least prefer i.e. at the net or baseline.
 
4. In a similar vein to the above, Errani crossed on 90% of Paolini's 1st serves with Paolini covering behind her if the opponents played down the line. This created uncertainty with the returners and worst case scenario Paolini got immediately involved in a baseline rally which she is always favourite on (even against Coco Gauff).
 
At club level the more dominant net player must be moving or faking on a regular basis with the partner covering behind, especially if moving on to their favourite shot i.e. forehand or backhand.
 
5. On occasion both Errani and Paolini would retreat to the baseline especially if the opponents had a big first serve. This allowed them to work their way into the point and then get Errani to the net on a positive footing and Paolini hammering it from the back again.
 
Both players back at club level can be perceived as a negative but it can be a great way to give your opponents a different look if your normal strategy isn't working. And it doesn't mean that one or both of you can't work your way into the net at the right moment.
 
If you haven't watched Errani & Paolini playing doubles please do so - great fun to watch and loads of learning opportunities.

Why go to Lucca or Florence on our special hosted weeks?

1/5/2025

Reasons to come to Florence with us in early September?
30th August to 6th September - https://www.tuscantennis.com/florence-special-hosted...
The chance to play tennis at one of the best clubs in Italy, Match Ball Firenze Country Club. Our clients love the club so much that they tend to spend almost all of their holiday at the club even when not playing tennis!
On Wednesday afternoon we insist on leaving the club for a short tour of the city centre, followed by a wine tasting (and nibbles) at a beautiful rooftop bar.
In the evening we enjoy a casual pizza evening at our favourite tennis club at the famous Piazzale Michelangelo which overlooks the city centre and is a club frequented mainly by locals.
Apart from the wonderful city of Florence itself you can also take a short drive through the Tuscan countryside to the lovely town of Greve where you can visit it's famous wine cellar (Enoteca Falorni) and even taste some of the most exclusive super Tuscan wines! This is a beautiful drive and an easy way to taste the best wines and cheeses of Tuscany without having to book ahead.
Join us in Lucca for the best atmosphere of the year at Ferragosto
15th August (Ferragosto) is a national holiday in Italy and the week after is the most chilled week of the year when all local Italians are on holiday parading the streets with their wonderful tans and best summer gear on.
This is the period we will be in Lucca for a special hosted week from 16-23 August - https://www.tuscantennis.com/lucca-tennis---special...
Apart from a great clay court experience at the best club in the Lucca area you will also have the chance to live like an Italian at the height of summer. We organise a trip to the coast to experience beach life Italian style plus a trip in the evening to the wonderful town of Pietrasanta. It is an art lover's dream and the best place in the area to watch the wealthy Italians strut their stuff amongst fine restaurants and great shopping in a beautiful, historic hilltop town.
Padel tennis too in Lucca!
Another element to our Lucca tennis club is the opportunity to play padel tennis in a beautiful shaded indoor court with ventilation all around the sides.
Bike ride around the city walls
The easiest and quickest route to get to grips with Lucca is via a bike ride around the 40-foot high and 90-foot wide city walls. The path is a flat, three-mile loop shaded under the trees, where you can stop to admire the sights or savour a picnic on the grass along the way. There are many places to rent bikes and e-bikes in the city centre, but for a simple and easy solution, head to Amici Bici, where you can rent a city bike with a little basket for 5 euros per hour (25 euros a day). Pricing also includes a helmet and a lock. Make sure you book a few days before, especially in high season.
Website: amicibici.it
Enoteca Vanni is one of the most ancient wine cellars in the city, dating back to the third century AD. The owner, Paolo Petroni, welcomes wine enthusiasts and those eager to experience the finest Italian wine paired with local charcuterie and cheese boards. The selection counts around 55,000 labels meticulously sourced from around the country and across borders, resulting in a collection of some of the finest and rarest bottles in Europe.
Website: enotecavanni.it
The Rome Masters
We are off to Rome next week for our 2 Rome Masters trips. Lots of clay court tennis to be watched, from the practice courts to the match courts, great food and all the brands in the shops. A perfect precursor to the French Open.
These 2 trips are full, but we will be back again next year!

Clay court season so far....

18/4/2025

Picture
The Monte Carlo Masters gave us an insight into the potential form of the majority of the world's best male players. Both Davidovich Fokina and Musetti were particularly impressive and obviously Alcaraz, but the player I feel who will make a serious breakthrough in the men's game is Arthur Fils. He is just so strong in most areas of the game and seems to love the big stage. He beat Griekspoor in a tough 3 setter followed by Cobolli winning 2 & 4, then Rublev 2 & 3 before losing to Alcaraz. This was the toughest match Alcaraz experienced in the whole event.
Fils was coached by his basketball playing father until the age of 12 and was taught to be "fearless". He is now coached by Sebastien Grosjean and Sergi Bruguera who both have an exceptional tennis competitive history. Bruguera won 2 French opens and Grosjean was a player who could play on all surfaces and even beat Tim Henman at Wimbledon - no mean feat.
Look out for Arthur Fils on any surface!
I only wish that Fils and many others would stop putting their fingers to their ears when they want crowd appreciation. Carlitos does this too which I wouldn't have expected from him? I can't think of one woman who does this? Having said that, Harriet Dart's comment (when losing) asking her opponent to wear some deodorant was a new one for the tour! Not Harriet's best moment.
In the women's tour Pegula continued her fine form winning an American clay court 500 event at Charleston beating Kenin in the final. This could be her year to win a slam although maybe not on European clay?
The Rome Masters
Lots of clay court tennis to be played before this year's hugely anticipated Rome Masters event, especially with its new marble show court!
We still have a few spaces left for our trip 12th to 16th May.

​The Italian Open 2025 has just got even better!
The stunning "stadio dei marmi" is currently being converted into a fabulous new tennis arena with a show court and two practice courts being constructed as we speak alongside Il Foro Italico.

The ’Super Tennis Arena’ named after the Italian sprinter, Pietro Mennea, will be surrounded by it's existing 60 marble statues, surely making it one of the world’s most magnificent venues .

Building is now well underway and without question,  the Pietro Mennea Marble Stadium will make an already fantastic tournament an unmissable one.  

If interested in coming to this year's event we still have a few spaces left. Why not join us and discover the new "stadio dei marmi" tennis court? Only in Italy would you find such a thing.

​Indian Wells Thoughts
 
MEN
  • The Court Surface - especially the show courts are very bouncy and suit some players more than others. Those with the ability to hit lots of topspin are favoured.
  • Man to Beat - definitely Alcaraz - he likes the high bouncing court. On a hat trick of Indian Wells wins!
  • Players to threaten Alcaraz? - Griekspoor (what an incredible forehand!) Tsitsipas (has improved out of sight with a new top secret racquet) Jack Draper (in form) Fritz (always good).
  • Why is Murray there if Djokovic isn't motivated? - The joker isn't making any jokes as he would appear not to be able to find the desire to compete. But, if not injured and he keeps training, I'd still take him to win a slam this year where the fire usually gets lit!

WOMEN
  • Court surface is really suiting Swiatek who will be difficult to beat with her heavy, high bouncing shots. 
  • Will Madison Keys manage to keep her great from going, although this surface may not suit her clean hitting.
  • Looks like Mirra Andreeva might be ready for a big breakthrough.
  • Pegula is on form, but needs to play Svitolina who is extremely motivated for Ukraine at the moment. The US crowd has been very supportive of Ukrainian players which may help pull her through?

Which TTH location should you choose?

We often get asked what our favourite TTH holiday venue is and the honest truth is that we love them all but here are a few key points that might help you choose which one is best for you.
 
Our tennis programme at all venues is excellent and very similar with great coaches and wonderful clay courts * but as we are "so much more than just a tennis holiday" the key points I have listed are outside of the tennis programme to help you decide where to choose.
* 
(except Sardinia - nice new hard courts) 
​

Rome - click HERE
This is a very specific tennis holiday and different from our other options mainly because a big part of it includes seeing the world's best players in action at the Italian Open. 

Key reasons why you might choose Rome
  • May is one of the best months to visit Rome weather wise with temperatures usually in the mid 20's.
  • You don't need to drive as the hotel, tennis courts and Il Foro Italico are all within a short walk of each other. Driving in Rome is not recommended!
  • As a tennis experience this has to be one of the best clay court tournaments in the world with close up access to all the top players plus an amazing array of tennis shops and wonderful food.
  • And perhaps most importantly "What did the Romans ever do for us"? All Python fans will know this off by heart but if you don't, have a look at this clip YouTube clip.
Click HERE for short video of the trip.
​

Lucca - click HERE

The Lucca area is where I lived for 10 years so I would like to think that I can help you experience the real Italy with what to do and where to eat after tennis.

Key reasons why you might choose Lucca
  • The historic centre of Lucca surrounded by the most impressive walls is quite spectacular and is somewhere you can visit many times with so many backstreets to discover.
  • The accommodation and tennis club are situated just outside the walls where you will experience a friendly,small town environment with wonderful bars & restaurants. We have a lovely hotel as an option inside the walls too.
  • You also have the possibility to visit the Versilia coast in all its grandeur and our favourite hillside town of Pietrasanta where we organise a trip in the middle of the week.

Florence - click HERE

Strange as it may sound one of the main reasons to visit our Florence location would be for the wonderful tennis club that we have exclusive access to for non members. Some of our clients come to Florence and spend all their time at the club as it is one of the most beautiful and well equipped tennis centres in Italy.

Other key reasons to choose Florence
  • If you are an art lover you will be in heaven with a city that holds the majority of the world's most famous art works.
  • Florence is a very easy and manageable city to explore on foot and we help out with a short tour and wine tasting (plus nibbles) on a beautiful rooftop bar with great views over the city. 
  • The friendly atmosphere in the club is one of the highlights as the local members always look forward to meeting our guests at the club even if they think you are all "Scozzese" (Scottish) - so if you are not Scottish, work on your accent before coming!

Sardinia - click HERE

We would strongly recommend avoiding July & August in Sardinia when it's just too busy and expensive.
The best months to visit are May/June / September/October

Key reasons why you might choose Sardinia
  • Apart from tennis, if you would like to swim in the most beautiful water in Italy and comparable to the Caribbean, then this is the place for you!  
  • Our only purpose built resort (Puntaldia) where you don't need to drive and can walk to tennis, golf, beaches, bars & restaurants.
  • Less of a cultural holiday but great for those who like activities with tennis, golf, padel tennis and water sport activities all available.

Sicily - click HERE

If you would like a mix of all of our other venues then Sicily is for you. It has everything you could possibly imagine but is for the more curious and adventurous traveller.  

Key reasons why you might choose Trapani (Sicily)
  • Trapani reminds me of the movie "Local Hero" where everything is simple and the people are just so friendly. See the movie if you haven't already.
  • Tourism is very important for Trapani but you will feel totally immersed in their culture after a few days in a way that is difficult to feel in better known tourist locations.
  • Being a coastal town you can easily visit the beautiful Egadi islands of Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo.
  • With such a great climate (similar to the south of Spain) you can visit at most times of the year apart from maybe January & February

Our hosted week is already full for 2025 but we can arrange tailored holidays -  please avoid June, July & August which, like Sardinia, are too busy.

Australian Open

11/1/2025

0 Comments

 
​Australian Open
There are obviously lots of great 1st round matches but here are a few of my favourite ones to keep an eye on.
The stand out match in the men's for me is Edinburgh's Jake Fearnley who will take on Mr Modesty himself, Nick Kyrgios. Jake has had a great run in the challenger events making his way to number 86 in the world and could be ready to take on Kyrgios who would appear to be injured, or is he? This match is at midnight (UK) on Sunday and definitely one to watch if you can have a long lie in on Monday?
No easy matches for anyone in the 1st round with the level of the men's game being so high. Sinner's opponent Jarry is very dangerous with such a big game and it will be interesting to see how Jannik handles all the Kyrgios chat re his possible ban. I'm sure he will cope well and remains the strong tournament favourite in my opinion.
Seeing how the relationship works between Murray and Djokovic would be my main reason for watching his 1st round match especially if it gets tight! His opponent is the young American 19 year old Basavareddy who has just left Stanford to give the pro tour "a go". Very talented, around the 100 mark and even if on paper it's a comfortable start for Novak, we know that in tennis you don't win on paper especially with unknown talented newcomers!
I'm always excited to watch Alcaraz play in any match and it will be interesting to see if his forehand is even bigger with the new heavier racquet? It will also be interesting to see the new serve they have been working on.
The other player I'll be very interested to see is the French player Mpetshi Perricard who has perhaps the best 2nd serve ever seen. (apart from Sampras of course). Looking forward to his 1st round too with Monfils who is a great defender.
Oh, and an outside bet to win the men's - Lehecka - watch out for this guy in 2025.
In the women's draw I am always hopeful that Raducanu will find some consistent form and more importantly remains injury free. It's a tough 1st round match against Alexandrova who may be too tough for Emma but here's hoping.....
The stand out match for me is Osaka v Garcia with 2 great ball strikers and they are the type of players who can both beat and lose to almost anyone, but are always exciting to watch.
2 slam winners in the 1st round with Sabalenka v Stephens is a tough one for both!

Happy New Year to all, and here's hoping for a peaceful 2025

My Top Tips For Club Players to Help Improve Your Tennis in 2025
1. The most important thing is hitting a lot of balls so if you generally play doubles then make sure that you also play some singles. Apart from the tennis benefits this will help keep you fit and healthy and in particular if you play outside to help get some valuable Vitamin D in the winter. Singles helps doubles and doubles helps singles - simple.
 
2. Master the key elements of the game which are the split step (and timing of), early preparation and breathing out when you hit the ball. (plus keeping your head steady) These are the fundamentals regardless of how you hit the ball so practice this from the first to the last ball in every session so as to make it a habit.Maybe focus on one element at a time, especially for those people who say "What's a split step"?
 
3. If you want to be a better competitor watch Carlos Alcaraz and learn how to smile more often during the difficult moments. I don't see enough players of all ages and levels look like they are enjoying themselves when in the heat of the battle. I have never seen anyone manage to enjoy themselves when under pressure like Carlito does. This has been taught from a young age but like anything to do with mindset it can be trained at any age. Smiling , even if it feels forced initially, can help release tension, so give it a go!
 
4. Don't become too obsessed with pure technique as it doesn't exist! Find a coach who can help you develop with the skills and attributes that you already have. There is a science to many elements of training but in general coaching is the art of dealing with an individual. Find an experienced coach who doesn't bombard you with technical tips but will find a way to help you develop with what you already have. Jack Draper has recently spoken about why his time with ex player/coach Wayne Ferriera didn’t last too long in a similar vein to my thoughts above. 


Quoted from Jack:
“When you’re younger, a lot of coaches see players and they think the technique is wrong. You look on the TV and you’ve got players like Daniil Medvedev, myself on my forehand, or all these funky techniques. But that’s the way they play, that’s their style, that’s what makes them great. It was a good lesson for me that I just stick with my own style, my own technique and just learn to be more consistent and make it better.”

Tuscan Tennis Holidays - Merry Christmas!

Tennis Highlights of 2024
Djokovic winning the Olympic gold. An amazing effort on clay.
Sinner & Alcaraz dominating the Slams - 2 each.
Andy Murray's Olympic farewell competitive matches
Murray & Djokovic teaming up together
Italy dominating both men's & women's tennis, Sinner No 1, 9 guys in the top 100, women winning the BJK Cup, men winning the Davis Cup, Paolini in 2 slam finals.
Danielle Collins winning Miami and Charleston Opens and then NOT retiring!

Tennis Low Points of 2024
Scandal over allegations of drug abuse with both Sinner & Swiatek involved, and if Sinner is banned it could have an impact on the game. Will the ATP allow it to happen?
The madness of Rublev & his continuing outbursts & self harming on court. He has said recently that he has sought professional advice but finds it hard to change.
Rafa Nadal's retirement party in Spain after losing to Holland in the Davis Cup. Many high profile Spanish tennis players & coaches felt that it was a poorly arranged send off for one of the greatest players ever to play the game.

What to look out for in 2025
Sinner being banned or not will dominate the early part of the year. Personally I think he will be banned.
The coach/player dynamic of Murray & Djokovic will be fascinating to watch, especially in the more emotional moments. Will Andy be willing to take the abuse or will he just give it right back? There is no one out there with a better tactical brain than Murray, so it will also be very interesting to see if there are any changes to the Djokovic game when/if he comes up against Sinner or Alcaraz!
Will Alcaraz find a way to be more consistent & improve his shot selection or will he continue in the same swashbuckling way?
Will all the other players like Zverev, Medvedev, Rune etc. find a way to challenge the slam winners & the elite group?
In the women's game I'm hoping that Paolini can win a slam and stay at the top end of the game as she is a shining light of personality in women's tennis.

Thoughts on the MURRAY & DJOKOVIC Partnership

6/12/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Like a lot of people in the tennis world I was a bit surprised when the news of Andy becoming the new coach of Novak came out. We don't know the details obviously but just what can Andy do to help Novak?
Apart from Andy's familiarity with competing and winning slams I would think that the strategical element of how to beat Sinner or Alcaraz might be the main reason that Novak is looking for Andy's help. Murray has always been one of the greatest tacticians, finding ways to win when all would seem lost, especially in 5 set matches. That element of their relationship will be fascinating to see especially in the heat of the battle as Andy (like all coaches in 2025) will be allowed to coach during the match! Both of them have always had a fairly techy relationship with their box so it could make for great theatre if they come to verbal blows?
It will be fascinating to see the tactics employed if, for example, Novak plays Sinner or Alcaraz in a slam which would be at the very least in the quarters. The good news for Novak might be that Sinner will be banned from playing next year although this would be terrible news for the game, obviously.
Whatever happens I feel that the anticipation of them working together will be good for the game of tennis. The public on court relationship between coach/player will be very interesting to say the least and I'm very much looking forward to Andy's match analysis.
I wonder how the conversation went at home when Andy got the call from his old rival? Just how did Andy persuade Kim that this was a good idea for him to go back on tour? His diplomatic skills must have been tested to the limit. It may well only be for the slams or maybe the entire Murray clan will be in the box? Now, that would be a sight, seeing Judy giving Novak the fist pump and her famous come-ons ! Maybe too many personalities for the one box?
If you have any thoughts on this relationship please share here or email thanks.
