Sky mention it as well - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_6251123,00.html though "the British number 12 recorded a 6-3 7-6 (7-5) victory over the Columbian second seed and will play American Ryan Harrison for a place in the quarter-finals at the grass-court showpiece" is not entirely accurate unless I've miscounted the rounds. doh

To be fair to the LTA, they have Mr Blofeld (I'll have to check the name with the BBC later) on this weeks map, and this is usually updated the day after any action takes place. I guess it's because they employ staff to write these articles, probably on a 9-5 basis, so if matches are played outside of these times, the reports have to wait until opening time the next day.

Also, I suspect these reports, once written are proof-read before being added to the website (BBC, take note).

An enthusiat and true fan willing to watch at all hours will always beat the press to the story, hence why we all love this site so much.

Stunning win for Bloomers and it seems that Newport is continuing its tradition of throwing up surprises and players going much deeper in tournaments than they have ever looked like doing.

Harrison is not a bad opponent for a quarter final and even though he is on the rise, he didn't look that great in struggling past Kudla, and if Bloomers plays to his best then it is a match that he could win.

It looks like maybe the person who does the reports maybe just wasn't in yesterday because there's a report on the LTA site now that leads with Bloomers and seems to cover both Tuesday and Wednesday: http://www.lta.org.uk/News/All-news-items/2010-07-05/Bloomfield-defeats-the-world-No56-in-Newport/

Jamie and Jonny are about to come on court - a live stream is available on betfair.

Plenty of room to get back angled shots.
