Hi, I know everyone is concentrating on Andy's match, but If you log onto to Yahoo.co.uk and follow the links sport / tennis you can watch Federer v. Kiefer live. Live streaming tennis is not new, I bring this to your attention because it is easily the best quality I have seen on the web, and this includes the paid for service offered by ATPtennis.com.

Lets hope Andy sorts himself out.....
