Very impressed, David. I'm, quite literally, not in that league!

This is the Borders Primary Schools Championships of which I'm speaking - some of the Board 4s are roughly my level!!

We have Craig Pritchard coming along tomorrow (Scottish number 6); do you know him, David?

That's 545 Euros and 19 points each. Up next are more Frenchmen, Wild Cards Jerome Haehnel and Julien Jeanpierre.
And they are back in action tomorrow: third match on the centre court, with play in the first (a singles) kicking off at 11.00 GMT.

The second singles match on the centre court between Philipp Petzschner & Josselin Ouanna is now well under way (PP a set up) & that's available on the live stream on the site, so with a bit of luck their doubles match will be as well!

Thanks for the reminder.

I shall make the effort to watch. smile

The match should be starting around now, but does the live stream work for anyone?

It's not working for me either. They must only be showing the singles. furious

Doubles don't have any kudos. bleh

I got it up on channelsurfing.net, but it is the Chardy - Giquel match, which was meant to follow the doubles. Maybe there was a walkover or they moved the doubles from centre court?

DJ · County player

My screen's blank, too. Surely can't be because it's doubles - they showed James' and Jamie's match in its entirety yesterday. Perhaps they're saving on their electricity bill and will switch the camera back on when the match starts ...

Perhaps Haehnel was injured in his singles match earlier? Or perhaps they're giving him a longer break to recover?

Can anyone find any results from today on the site? Except for the live scores obviously.

I didn't realise that the match was on live stream yesterday. Could I ask which side of the court the guys played on?

EDIT: Also I have put up a picture of Delgado and Brad Gilbert talking on the bt.net site while watching Boggo's match.

Another 'perhaps' - the singles match started at 5, French time (or 17, rather). The schedule listed it as 'not before 5', so perhaps they decided they wanted it on at the suggested time rather than 90 minutes later, which would have knock-on effects for the Magician's match. Presumably, if that's the case, they'll play the doubles after Court 1's finished, or even on Centre Court after Santoro's.

Sorry, Wolf, I was being dense there (not a shock, is it?); J&J's match wasn't shown, as it was played on Court 1, not Centre Court. I tried turning the remote camera to Court 1, but it seemed as though it was curtained off from Centre Court - all I got were a variety of crowd scenes (a good turnout) or views of cobwebs. I was watching the live scores and it was so exciting I clearly convinced myself that I'd been watching it live. My apologies for misleading you.

wolf · Tennis legend

The match was appeared on the live score on Court 1. Our boys to serve first.

EDIT: Now changed to the frogs serving first.
