Well, the g**ts at the BBC no longer cover anything other any WTA/ATP events, so getting early results is now rather hard. Requires the LTA to actually update the pdf, which we know they are soooo prompt at doing.
The BBC tennis site is now on minimum maintenance, alas. Ranking lists? Follow link to the ATP/WTA site, they won't highlight UK players. Whilst we cover it all nicely here, I know, it would be good for the Beeb to go a little beyong ATP/WTA/top 50. After all, they can find people to promptly input the Noddy South Eastern football conference division 7 results (with scorers, and attendance figures).
OK, UK futures/challengers were a little local interest, but hey, why not. One phone call a day.
Nicolas Tourte (Fra) bt Samuel Groth (Aus) 6-4 7-5
Joshua Goodall (Gbr) bt Daniel Evans (Gbr) 6-1 6-3
How on earth did you come by those? I've been checking the tournament site (dunno why they bother with one, since it's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, as they say in my part of the world! ), the ATP site, the ITF site &, out of sheer desperation, the LTA site ( ) all evening & there's been sod all in the way of results!
The kid probably got them off the BBC site. At times they show the results and then take them off for a while.
Doubt it: there's still no sign of any kind of link on the site to UK results! That said, it would account for the total lack of doubles results: the Beeb's never believed in reporting the outcome of anything other than doubles finals...
Bit of a mystery this: the ATP site is showing the result of the men's doubles final, but not the outcome of the earlier singles SFs! Anyway, Goody's completed the first half of his mission this weekend: he & Rush beat Bammy & May 7-6(5) 4-6 6-3!
