Yes, an apology/explanation would be nice.

Wondering if perhaps it is the price paid for giving the women their time on Centre Court. There are only 2 men's matches scheduled on CC and 4 women's, compared to Court 4 which has 5 men's and just the 1 women's match.

If the Challenger stream is run by the ATP perhaps they moved it to show more matches? Would be nice if they could show CC, Court 1 AND Court 4 if that's the case.

I'm hoping "Baggy" can go on to claim his first-ever grass title now. If he can't, then Gilles Müller.

Odd as the ATP stream has been showing two courts all week, so odd not to have Dans match on today.

Hi all, hoping to visit the event tomorrow and take my family with me. The weather forecast looks mixed, is it possible for spectators to watch the matches if they are moved indoors? We have a couple of hours to drive to get up there and I don't want a wasted journey! Would appreciate any responses. Thanks.

I watched a Futures in Nottingham and it was possible, but that was 9 years ago so my information is well out of date. You could ring them up if you don't get any better answers.

Yes you can. I went there for the futures earlier this year. There are viewing galleries although depending on which court you want to watch the quality of the view will vary considerably and seating is not overly abundant.

Thanks both. Phoned the Tennis Centre earlier this morning and was given a number for the Tournament Office (a mobile number). Tried that with no response but will try again later.

Baggy into the final after beating Sijsling by 4 & 2. smile He'll face "Mad Dog" or Müller...

I went to finals day a few years ago and it was indoors and they put out seats by the side of the court. You'll definitely be able to watch.

They put seats out when I went for a day in the week as well.
