Had me sweating there for a while! Col's & Ken's match stats were so superior and yet it was such a tight match. They eventually won 6-7(4) 6-3 [10-8]. Another final, more ranking points and a few more Euros to share. Shall be off to badminton a happy bunny.
We shan't know whether they'll face Bubka & Kudryavstev (2) or Beck & Levinsky (4) in the final for 3-4 hours!

Blimey! Col & Ken watch out! B & L did a demolition job on the second seeds: 1 & 2 in a fraction over 50 minutes!
And Col & Ken finally make it on to the Pozoblanco centre court: final to kick off no earlier than 21.30 BST tomorrow. They'll have to pull out all the stops for this one...
Beck and Levinsky's record this season is a bit good, with them having won 4 challengers already this season, and this tournament is just their 8th as a team all year.
Going to be a tough match for them, but if they play to their best, then they have a good chance of taking the title.

Or the more likely explanation that the ATP scoreboard was broken.
It's working again at the moment and says they've been playing for 2hours 20minutes, which would have left them starting at the scheduled time, so probably just a scoreboard failure.
Beck leads 2-1* in the final set at the moment, having traded to 7-6(6) sets so far, so a nice long match to tire him out ahead of the doubles final.
You're right FD. I've just reset the LS and it's as you say! Gave me an opportunity to use my thunder & lightning smiley, though. Hope the Boy Beck is well and truly shattered after his exertions in the singles. Owt to help our lads.
The Pozoblanco own site (via ATP challenger page) is giving the 2nd semi score in games only, and updating itself it's on Alves vs Bohli 6-4 2-2 see top blue box of index on left.
www.tennispozoblanco.com/index.php?page=endirecto website. now 3-3. Flemski to play after this match according to order of play.
