Was able to watch quite a lot of the Slabba match. Quite evenly matched throughout and probably hit the ball equally well, probably a match Alex should have won but in the end maybe just two many unforced errors.
Chris & Alex currently playing their doubles match and they've taken the first set 6-3
Must be long finished by now!
Can't find any obvious sign of the result on the site, but if I've read the latest results section correctly, i.e. winner's name comes first, Bloomers beat Raditschnigg by 3 & 2.

Up there now. Again assuming that winner's/s' name(s) come(s) first, they won by 3 & 5, which would tie in with SMC's post about the score at the end of the first set.
Can anyone find tomorrows OOP? Also, has everybody's ATP Futures drawsheets disappeared or is it just me?
The links to this week's Futures drawsheets never appeared for me on the ATP Challengers/Futures page - the only way I was able to get the mon the top 25 table was to check back to last year to find the code numbers for the corresponding tournaments last year - e.g. Germany F3 is always tournament no. 179, whatever week it is held in and whatever location it is held at.

Good stuff from Bloomers having seen his opponent in Loughborough who posessed some heavy shots! Good stuff from Eaton and Slabba as well :D, Eaton goes to 8/8 for dubs matches this year so long may it continue like that. From Slabbas match the courts looked to be quite quick as both of them were late on the ball a lot of the time and carpet is always going to be quick anyway. This will definitely favour Eaton and Bloomers so hopefully they can both have a good run here.
Slabba/Eaton result confirmed on the ITF site (Steven: I can't see any of this week's Futures tournaments on the ATP site, either, nor on the Tennis Europe site! I wonder if that's the source of the problem, though... ):
