Indian Wells R2 - Andy v Albert Montanes

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Indian Wells web site

Looks like those who have Sky sports Xtra can watch this match

Has anyone here signed up for http://www.watchlivetennis.org/ (Euro 9.95/year) ?
If so what is it like?

Looks very interesting. Maybe a bit too good to be true? My old Masters Series tv is due for renewal in a few more days and is much more expensive. Anybody having any experience of watchtennislive please post!

I see Montanes is entered for the Sunrise Challenger next week. . . not too confident of beating Andy then.

The early start may be the only chance that Montanes has here, but even so, I can't see anything other than a simple straight sets win for Murray.

The Sunrise challenger entry is a bit of a red herring - practically everyone has entered the event, and the cut-off at the moment is 72 (although will get a lot lower), but I guess Montanes wasn't expecting to win many matches here anyway, regardless of who he drew.

It looks as if the match is being streamed on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ and it's free. I watched quite a bit of the Dubai event this way and it wasn't too bad at all. I did have one period where the stream disappeared, but it was okay for the vast majority of the time.

I tried that link and the susequent Indian Wells link BUT -
AVG gave warning "Threat detected - Virus identified JS/Downloader.Agent"

It was fine last week. I tried it again just now and although the stream hasn't started yet, my AV software (fully up to date) isn't picking up any threats. So maybe you are getting a false positive. I'm using Kaspershy AV software. Does anyone else have a problem with this link? Clearly if you are in any doubt, you should not risk it. But I think the link is fine.
