I don't want to lull people into a false sense of security then find they miss it, but you might as well have as much info as I can find. I'm just not taking the blame either way! LOL

Wardy's Final is due off at 04.40 BST (11 local) and the forecast for then and checking a few weather sites (before I made my own decision to risk not getting up too early), the consensus forecast is showers and/or a thunderstorm, though "consensus" would be a bit of an overstatement! So it may be doubtful that they will start on time or, if they do, that they will finish with no delays.

"AM showers, 40% chance of rain"

Hourly forecast suggests showers most of the morning, clearing up in the afternoon.

Might have to make the effort for a challenger final!

Didnt realise his SF opponent was a former junior #1 (Senior CH of 164!) - and so is his opponent in the final! Shows the quality of the field and explains the suprisingly low rankings.

Best of luck anyway, lets take the title Wardy!

Wardy had a few break points at 4-3 but couldn't convert, however then comfortably held to love next game to lead 5-4*.

Missed 1 set point at 30-40 and Fucsovics holds but out of nowhere Ward has a horrible service game and is broken to love.

Fucsovics serving for the 1st now, 6-5.
