I have a feeling we had similar problems last year and Phil ended up tweeting scores.....
We have come a long way in the past few years to be in a position to moan about not having livescores for a 10k futures qualifying! I remember when it was rare to have live scores for challengers!
Correct.
I think the ITF have done a great job over the last two years of providing the technology to provide fast and reliable information.
The PDFs are great when they work and of course are only used when umpires are in use, so round 1 onwards for 10K and final qualifying for women's 25K
Far play to the LTA for updating the website as frequently as they do.
think Marcus is in the draw. wonder if he's got used to his new rackets yet.
I think Marcus 's first set v Dan cox in Sheffield SF demonstrates that he is getting used to his new racquets . Marcus had a lot of break point opportunities in 2nd & final set but was not able to convert . But it was good to get a tough match and making the SF again this week be another opportunity to match up against what is likely to strong GB seeds . Good to see Lewis win his singles today and I hope Bomb & Burt's can recover their previous Doubles form

good glad to hear that, it must be difficult changing rackets. wishing Marcus all the best this year.
Looks like Bruce and Harvey lost (which was on the cards, given the seedings).
Ryan Storrie has been training at Gosling too, this week. Hope he's been enjoying himself, dipping his toe in the Brit tennis scene - big welcome to him !
