Don''t really see that it is at all bonkers. Will no doubt suit some people more and not others, eg. local or travelling a distance to then stay and see the 3 days, I can see a later start suiting plenty folk. No doubt generally better for TV viewers too

It's indoors, isn't it, so isn't going to get stopped due to bad light.

The starting times would clearly have been fixed well before anyone could be certain that Andy would be playing.

Incidentally, I suspect indoors is good, since 40 odd miles away in Edinburgh, having been hearing thunder for a while, now the monsoon has arrived !

Oh hailstones now. Oh more thunder. Oh heavier. Where's my ark ? disbelief

Terrible weather outside keeps playing havoc with my sky signal.

I at first thought the LTA stream was terrible quality, then I found I could adjust it. . . doh! On high quality it is very good.

steven · Tennis legend

Not a good start from Wardy but at least he is on the scoreboard now.

In the tie that decides who the winners will play, Belarus no. 1 Ignatik beat Hungarian no. 2 Kellner, but it took him 5 sets.

Btw I may have given a misleading impression in the preview I wrote on p.2 (now corrected) - if we win this, we would be away in September if we play Belarus but at home if we play Hungary.

Sounds like you two saw "Source: LTA" "Quality: Low" and thought it was just a statement of fact wink
