Ward had a break point there... shame he didn't take it as that could have been almost there...

Nadal breaks back for 3-2.... and Djokovic looks to be on the verge of collapsing - brilliant match between the two of them....

Federer will win the final tomorrow as neither man will be able to recover in time.

....and I have a reply from the web-team

Thank you for your email, forwarded on to me by Roger. There is now a story on the site covering the achievement of James Ward and please accept my apologies that this was not there sooner.

We are very aware of the need to highlight the success of British players, at all levels of the game, and we are continuing to increase the level and type of coverage we give to all British players across the site.

The British tennis map gives people the opportunity to track players throughout the week and builds into the coverage given across the site in news stories and broader coverage such as player blogs and features.

We have an editorial schedule which helps us track the way we cover players and tiers of event, this is something which is being continuously reviewed and I apologise that in this instance the coverage wasn't as high as it may have been. James' result yesterday was a fantastic achievement and I will be looking out for the result of today's final and will ensure that the web story is updated.

Thank you for your feedback and I hope you see the coverage we give our players and British tennis in general continue to grow.


Kind regards

Rhian


There is indeed now a short piece on the website on Wardy's progress but I am hoping it will soon be out of dateand will be updated with an even better story!

Well done, it's good to see something there. They still don't seem to have picked up on the clay court aspect of the story - given all the stories over the years about Brits being rubbish on clay, do they really not think that's important?

Good point raised here by Robxon though Wardy is not the first to be conveniently ignored as was pointed out by Drew and replied on by myself last summer.
The following post appeared on this site -

"Thanks to the post about Neil Harmans article about Liam winning in Italy I know now that he won it.

How did we (or I) miss this ?

This event had live scoring, live video....and we missed it all here. And a young Brit won the whole thing without dropping a set !!!

http://www.tenniseurope.org/JuniorTennis/JuniorMasters-14.aspx

Livescores... http://www.e-tennis.net/tenniseurope/index.htm

Livevideo... http://www.e-tennis.tv/mediaplayer/Channel1/media.html

I am not blaming anyone here (Okay I blame Arka LOL) honest...I wish I could have picked up on this.

Liams road to victory : (Only the top 8 play in this)

QF : BROADY LIAM GBR (6) def SPORKEN MOOS NED (1) 6-3 6-3
SF : BROADY LIAM GBR (6) def KAHLKE JANNIS GER (3) 7-5 6-4
  F : BROADY LIAM GBR (6) def KACZYNSKI KEVIN GER 6-3 6-4

Maybe the regular posters / mods in the Junior section knew this was going on and its not a very big deal I dont know ?

But a big congrats to Liam and hope the LTA give them some assistance.

Or maybe they will do an Andy and do it without the LTA.... ? "

I'm not sure the LTA are comfortable promoting players from outside their system even though they play under the same flag !

Ward holds to lead 2-1*

Rafa vs. Nole is 5-5 in the final set... definate contender for match of the year.
