Yes, what's going on ? Not on bet365 any more either . . . but my live score now has Neil 1-0 up in the second, having lost the first 4-1 !!!! gremlin alert ***

The problem is that the live scores are based on the umpire's electronic scoring device and so when something goes wrong the umpires are obviously more concerned with officiating the match rather than ensuring our continuous stream of accurate live scoring information. Obviously bet365 need accurate info so they pull the match when something goes wrong.

Trying to decipher that daft board, I think Neil won the first set 6-4 and is now 2-1 up in the second - it's not what it says (!) but it's the only thing that makes sense (famous last words)

Tennisnow · Lower Club Player

If you look at the total number of games won, Neil has 8, his opponent has 5. This means, coupled with 2-1 in the second, Neil won the first in all probability 6-4.

If you refresh it, it has Neil winning by 1-4 6-1! wink confuse

Probably safe to assume that Neil won 6-4, 6-1

It is now showing that as the final score.

Neil and Dan having safely dispatched the 'foreign invasion' it's now up to Alex to get rid of Steve-from-Naples : might be a trickier ask, though . ..

We'll probably have to concede Marcus Daniell's right to be here and he is, after all, a quasi Brit

L16: (8) Richard Bloomfield WR 691 defeated George Coupland WR 910 by 1 & 4

Slabba 5-2 down first set, Luke J a set and a break down to Daniell. Marcus just started.

Looking at the draw, i can see Benneteau and Daniell moving comfortably into the semis.

Cox v Willis(assuming a win) is an interesting QF. I hope Marcus has a good week this week, he's due one.

Bloomers seems to be back in form and should get past Napolitana or Slabba

Cannot see Neil P getting anything out of Daniell, but i hope i'm wrong.

In the doubles Gasson and Orton have been given a walkover by Broady and Ward-Hibbert.

That's their second of the week: into the semis without so much as playing a shot! hmm disbelief

The old "is doubles at Futures level to be taken seriously, or just a bit of a laugh and some pocket money" chestnut again?
