I doubt that they will use 6 courts tomorrow as there will only be 12 singles matches (8 women's and 4 men's) and 2 doubles matches.

Liam Broady lost 6-4 ret

That's a shame about Broady, I wonder if it's his shoulder playing him up again.

Goodall taken the first set 6-3.

Crofte, Smidster - thanks for the results that aren't appearing on the live scores. Are you getting them from somewhere I haven't discovered or are you actually there? (I'm just wondering whether it's safe to tweet emerging QF match-ups based on those results!)

Smidster · Challenger level

I'm in Sunderland

Edward Corrie leads Von Massow by 1 set (5-5 in 2nd)

Edward Corrie def George Von Massow 6-4 7-5

Is this a Sunday finish? I am thinking of popping over at some point this weekend.

Also, I would be taking my 4 y/o , does anyone (Phil) know whether the balcony is child friendly (can he see, is he allowed)

I would imagine that the men's singles final will be on Saturday and the women's on Sunday. I think the men's doubles will be done and dusted by Saturday too.

So Ed marches on and on. Well clear of everyone else on tour for matches won ( and played ) this year except for a certain Carreno-Busta at number one.

I have to confess that there weren't any young children viewing yesterday, but I can't see why not. You basically are looking down onto the court from above, viewing won't be as easy for a small child, as he/she will probably be viewing through a clear glass panel, but certainly they will see something.

For the finals you maybe able to watch courtside anyway as they have arranged seating in that way in the past ( Men's final is on Saturday ).

Gutted for Liam, but yesterday was a tough match for him eventhough it was only 2 sets against a very good opponent. Will find out tomorrow whether the shoulder was the problem.

If it's the same set up as Wirral then the balcony was covered in netting and was safe for a child to stand/watch. In fact there were several children of a similar age at the Wirral and as long as they are fairly quiet and respectful, there shouldn't be an issue.

No netting just a glass panel.
