Thanks for that link, John. I actually paid for the Eurosport livestream, but they are only showing British Eurosport and the Brits matches are not on there because Sky have the rights, apparently.

I think the commentary is Spanish and I can't understand a word, but never mind! Come on, Tim!


Yeah, sky have exclusive rights to Andy and Tim's matches (and presumably Jamie Murray in the doubles as well)

On day 1 one of the 2 streams was in English (i watched Haas vs. Darcis with english commentary), but after that it has been all Spanish, except for 1 match where it was english commentary, but on a different match to what they were showing

Guess it will go to show Gonzo in a few minutes when Tim closes this out, which he is a game away from

Henman will have to serve it out then. No wobbles Tim, love hold please.

Quick hold for Tursunov.

Henman has the changeover to think about serving it out

Has anyone else noticed Tim's little moustache and tuft under the bottom lip? a little bit of the Andy Murray's? i think he should do a Borg and not shave them for the entire tournament!

Sorry I thanked the wrong person for the link, Forever Delayed, I did go back and correct it immediately, but you were too quick and replied while I was doing it!

Tim Henman has a really good chance to go deep in the tournament now. Tsonga is up next, and he is effectively a less impressive version of Tursunov with the flashy game, big serve and big forehand, so he could win that (plus he's french, so he can choke)

It would then be either Ryan Sweeting or Jankko Tipsarevic, who is struggling a lot at the moment, or Rafa Nadal in round 3, and if Nadal plays like he did today, then Henman will beat him in straight sets... in fact, Robert Dee could well end up pushing Nadal in this form... he was that bad

Henman to make round 4.... is definately a possibility
