It has always been a dream of mine to call Snooker and today I am!! Round 1 action at the #cazoobritishopen for @eurosport as Dave Gilbert takes on Lyu Haotian. Join me (outside Uk) from 11am cet.

@NoliEala Beautiful words, as were hers at the end. Congratulations to you all. Can't wait to see Alex hit even greater heights in 2027!

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

My final match on the @WTA tour for 2026. It should be a fitting finale as well from Hong Kong as Philippine sensation Alexandra Eala faces Claire Liu, who is bidding for her 1st main tour title. Join me from 8am GMT for all the action. 🎙🎾

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@SkySportsTennis Any reason you have turned off the commentary on the Eala v Valentova match from Hong Kong? I'll try not to take it personally! 😄

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

Always a huge honour to be asked to close the @WTA season and where better than Hong Kong! The backdrop is amazing (see picture), likewise the players on show. Join me all week on Centre for what should be a fitting finale to another incredible season.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

As always an absolute pleasure working again with @SpalkTalk and also on my favourite tour!! Join me on the @WTA website for all the action from 125 Mallorca today and across finals weekend. 🎾🎙

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

I thought The Great Escape was just for Xmas!! Brilliant movie though.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

After the rain comes the Sun (and Semi Finals) in Seoul. Join me for live commentary shortly as well as the showpiece final tomorrow from 7.30am BST.

There has been a lot of noise, much of it unfair, around Aryna Sabalenka and her off-court activity. She is still world number one, continues to turn up and win big tournaments, and will want to win this event: Mark Valledy, London-based Tennis commentator

Carlos Alcaraz has quietly gone about his business and is beginning to look dangerous after a slow start to the tournament. I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t emerge as the favourite by Sunday’s final. Ben Shelton will be a tough quarterfinal opponent, but Alcaraz has the edge in the head-to-head, has an aura about him and also has a point to prove: Mark Valledy, London-based Tennis commentator

Delighted to preview the US Open Quarter Finals with @PakistanTV this evening. It's certainly tricky to pick a winner from both sides. (Although my pre tournament tip Jessica Pegula is still going strong at the time of writing.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

A little trip down Mexico way before the final major of the year! 🇲🇽🎙🎾

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

A real pleasure chatting all things @WTA with fellow commentator @AnnemarieBatson on @wearetrackradio earlier this week. Love this station, hope it goes from strength to strength.

@rdmtennisfan @AreYouIntoThat2 It was a very good match. Shnaider served well but was wasteful with BP (2/20). Chwalinska defended brilliantly but was eventually overpowered.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

Well this should be a bit special to start Day 7 at Cincy!

[wta @WTA]

WHAT A COMEBACK! 🔥

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@Gosia_Czar Aww thank you. I'll even forgive you for calling me Volledy!! 😄

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@Tennisexpert I will keep everything crossed, plus it might rain soon anyway at Cincy.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@Tennisexpert Don't want to compound your misery, but it has all the makings of a 3 set thriller! 6/4 0/3 Andreeva atm.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@1gamesetmatch Just to clarify, I called Samsonova v Rybakina last week at Toronto. Her 2nd serve (22 bounces etc) was her undoing and she improved markedly when she sped up. I was surprised she reverted back tbh.

[Mark Valledy @MarkVcommentary]

@1gamesetmatch Thank you so much. It was certainly a marathon! I do feel for Putintseva though. She lost sets 1 and 3 by the finest of margins.
