i wonder what happened in Evo/Sweeting: 16 60 61 is not a common scoreline.!!

Sweeting has only played two matches in the last 4 weeks, both on clay, so maybe he was rusty or just took a while to ajust to grass.

Or maybe once again Evo has no plan B when things start going wrong

Quite possibly. However I think it is hard to beat him up for this match unless you were there and can point to specifics. He has had some very bad losses this year but losing to Sweeting, who has won an ATP event this year, isn't one of them.

James points to one or two specifics in his report for TennisAlternative today http://www.tennisalternative.com/news.php

The article Nathii wrote there about the mad Dani ban is worth a read too - as far as I can remember, she's always been a bit of a fan, but I think there may be a fair bit of truth in what she says about unpopular, relatively low-ranked players being made an example of in a way that isn't entirely fair.

And now it's stuck at 6-4 0-0 to Bemelmans - & not showing the scores for Court 2, which, if that continues, means that we shan't know what's happening in the Dan Cox singles match, David & Sean vs Carsten Ball & Skups & Jos & Hev vs Lertch & Savinykh! furious

Live scores seem to have died, but Silver (@tismrwells) is tweeting, and it's not good news:

Josh Milton 5-0 down in second set. Seems to be netting a fair bit...

5-1! Bemelmans just more consistent.

Backhand smash into the net but Bemelmans makes good with the next point, 6-4 6-1 over Milton.

Naive question of the day re Evo helpfully getting rid of the 5th ball.

I have always thought there was more than 4 balls in play at any time, or does it vary for some reason re different tournaments ?

I am pretty sure for instance that Troicka yesterday was sometimes looking at more than 4 balls at a time when just considering which to use for serve.
