But altered. Looks like they gave up on singles for the day and are trying to get the doubles to finish on schedule instead.

Go Delksi 4-1

Flutchkins 3-3 - but their match says it's suspended due to rain???

Delski won 6-3 6-4
Flemchins lost the first set tb, on serve in the second

Hurrah for Delski! Glad to see them do so well, and to do so at a tournament run by the LTA (which, while they did give the pairing this WC, have IMO generally struggled to give Skupski the credit he deserves) But what's happening with the live scoring? Are the juniors playing, or not?

looks as thought they've had quite a few rain interruptions and when they've come back, not all the courts have been playing - maybe some were affected more than others? Scoreboard says it's raining at the moment.

First ATP final for Delgado

Delighted for them. smile smile

Yes, 1st for Jamie, 5th for Ken, all of whose previous Finals have gone to MTBs. He has won 3 of them, all against different GEM pairs, but the one he lost was here (i.e. Eastbourne) 2 years ago with Colin (whom he could yet meet in the Final this year, though it's not looking great at the moment) against the pesky Poles.

This will be Ross's 11th ATP Final (4-6), Colin's 7th (4-2, but 2-0 with Ross), Ken's 5th (3-1) and Jamie's 1st.

Colin and Ken lost the 2010 Final here - one of them has got to win this time!

The LTA are claiming it's the first all-GB ATP Final - I wonder if that's true. Definitely the first one in recent memory, but we had some successful doubles pairs (e.g. the Lloyd brothers) in the 1970s.
We had 3 out of 4 at this event when in Nottingham when Booty & Stretch beat Josh Goodall and Ross Hutchins in the final (2007)
