The website isn't, most of the links are though.

This link - http://lsh.streamhunter.eu/static/popups/168003966350050.html is free to view and is currently streaming the game before Kyle's match.

This link - http://lsh.streamhunter.eu/static/popups/168005965350060.html is free to view and should be streaming the game before Oli's match, although it isn't working for some reason at the moment.

No it's not bud

The match prior to Oli's has just finished. He's been tweeting less than 5 minutes before I started writing this about transfer deadline day.

I'm not a professional coach, but I'm pretty certain that this isn't the type of mental preparation and focus that works most of the time in pro sport. I wish him the best of luck for the match, of course.....could be a tough one on paper.....

If you took tweets as representative samples (which they may well be !!!), I think we'd conclude that our top tennis players spend 99.9% time either (a) playing fantasy football or (b) watching real football !!!

Mind you, Julien Hoferlin is one of the worst ! and martin weston has been getting ongoing stick from Kyle for not having picked his fantasy football team . . .

I'm very comfortable with football, fantasy football, general banter and collegiate atmosphere..........it's a good thing.

Probably shouldn't be top of mind, though, 5-10 minutes before you step on court for a Challenger FQR!!!!

True, but if they took most of our tweets as representative samples, they'd probably conclude that we spend 99.9% of our time watching/following tennis wink which would be a long way from the truth (at least, I assume it would be for most of us)

Obviously, I wish they tweeted more about tennis than about football but we can hardly blame them for using Twitter mainly for leisure purposes rather than work purposes.

Oh no, I wasn't knocking them - as you say, it's just a relaxation and a distraction.

Korri was obviously more of the mind that it's a distraction that maybe shouldn't be used 5 minutes before a match, but that's another point.

In general, football's good !

Good start by Kyle: he leads by 3-0* in the first set.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Kyle playing very clinically and cleanly - 5-0

Oli gave away three BP chances by playing very loose points and then saved them all with three very good points . . 2-2

steven · Tennis legend

A bagel in the 1st set for Kyle

though after what happened in Genova yesterday, perhaps we shouldn't be counting any chickens!

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Looking promising: *2-0 in the second...

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Having started at the same time, Kyle looks as though he'll have his game finished while Oli is still half-way through the first !

Kyle 4-1 in the second
Oli - 4-3* (shame about the uncalled for loose shots at the wrong moment - playing well otherwise, which might be a contradiction in terms obviously . . . )

Kyle romps home by 0 & 3 in 54 minutes! smile
