I have just completed a questionnaire re this site, it only took a few minutes. gave them a right slating re not enough on british tennis players, but forgot to mention about the uk results page having no direct link. Also that the link to the Atp does not work. If anyone else has the opportunity to do the questionnaire could you add in the points I missed please?
What the bbc site needs is a journalist who actually has some interest in the sport and writes some decent blog content, like Tom Fordyce/Aggers do for cricket' or Jake Humphrey in F1. Instead they have Jonathan Overend who barely contributes at grand slams let alone the rest of the year. What they need to do is poach one of the newspaper columnists (e.g. the one now locked away behind Murchoch's paywall), or perhaps Alex Willis from ACE.
Other than that, its just a results service.

Or, maybe more permanently, Alexandra Willis? She had a piece in the Independent today I think, but is probably free-lancing rather than employed there. She has done the LTA's "as it happens", I seem to remember,.

I would, but I just went there and they didn't offer me a questionnaire!
Thanks for trying, I don't know how long they had it up for - perhaps just over the holiday. On another point I never know whether to quote this site URL, just in case those Oh so polite people in 606 find out!! :
I think the chance of getting the questionnaire is always there.
I've been "lucky" enough to complete it three times, each time pointing out the missing links and the poor reporting to no avail. I think the survey results are probably "processed" by an external company who ignores the comments ... They may have wondered why I was visiting it as I thought so little of it!
