They've got the YTS boy on scoreboard duty. It showed Oliver losing the first game by hitting an ace, then 3 double faults (surely that's 15-40!), then Valent hitting 4 aces. All in the space of 1 minute 50 seconds! confuse

I guess someone's testing the board, not realising it's live to tens of people.

who do people want to win pauffley vs. milton match??

in bbrit v brit matches i normally have a preference, but today i really don't mind, both have had big wins so deserve some points for their efforts.
either of them got any potential to climg the rankings?

johnnylad · Tennis legend

I think Milton is the better shotmaker but Pauffley probably has more power. In today's game I guess one gives more chance of success than the other.

However I don't think either of them will progress much further than challengers in their careers.

I want Milton to win and I reckon he could make the top 300, possibly top 200 at a push in a few years time. I saw him a few times last year and he played really well but his results seem to suggest he hasn't found that form again. Over half of his come from Frinton last year so he's going to have to get a few wins soon or he'll be dropping right down the rankings.

Considering how skint the lithuanian lta is, clearly grigelis has deep pockets given he's played almost every week for the past year.

Tennis is a middle class sport all over the world. It saddens me how many people think the eastern europeans coming thru have done so from poverty and squalor.

Pauffley wins first set vs Milton 7 - 6 (5), 2 breaks of service apiece.

Lots of streaming available for this at http://livescorehunter.com/Livescores/Livescore-Tennis.html if no-one's found it yet - currently has both Milton vs Pauffley and Grigelis vs McGee.

Doubles draw is out too: http://www.lta.org.uk/Global/Downloads/Results/2010/AEGON%20Pro-Series/Jersey%20MAR/Mens%20doubles%20draw.pdf

Eaton/Inglot were the last DAs but have drawn the #3 seeds, Allegro/Coetzee.

Thanks - I can hardly believe they've got streaming of a Challenger qualifying match in the UK - I wonder where they've got it from and why it hasn't been advertised anywhere.

indiana · Tennis legend

Pauffley vs Milton goes one set all, 7 - 6 (5) 3 - 6

boggo_ftw · Improver

I just found it on MTF, where someone mentioned bwin as the possible source.

Milton takes the 2nd set 6-3 to level at 1 set all, he's ahead 76-65 on total points!

It's on bwin, who seem to be covering all the European indoor challengers.

There is only one court seemingly being covered on bwin though, so I'm not sure where the Justin TV/livescorehunter stream is from.

Really good pictures on the justintv stream of Pauffley kicking a ball away as he loses his serve to love at the start of the third set.

Someone needs to straighten out the nearhand baseline though

Anyway, thanks very much boggo ftw smile
