Shame for Jo, but still a very good performance.

The LTA have done something very weird, even by their standards.

There is a new LTA livescores app, which replicates the WTA one completely unnecessarily, except that it doesn't show the scores by points, only in games...

matchcentre.lta.org.uk/classic/match.html

But click on an individual match, on centre court, and then you get a ball-by-ball commentary, on a scoreline which bears no relation to the match on court.

There is though, an interesting feature, of a Hawkeye virtual reality replay of each point; which is actually much better than normal live scores. I presume that the Hawkeye folks can actually use computers, and by the time they've explained to the LTA bods how to stop making complete and utter clowns of themselves, this might just turn out to be a jolly good thing.

Hi wimbledont, the ball-by-ball commentary, scoreline, and hawkeye replay all match up perfectly for me? The ball by ball updates automatically and then for hawkeye you can click "next point available".

And the headline score at the top of the page shows points as well as games along with all the stats.

Could it be your browser?

Hi PaulM,

It seems it was just a glitch in the Halep v Koukalova match, which is still shown as 2-1 in the third set, Halep having just been broken; which is where I discovered it.

Probably just teething problems, and definitely an improvement on WTA live scores. I wish I'd known about it before now. JoKo's 1st round match, Naomi v Halep and Watson v Krunic are also still up, and reviewable point-by-point.

Hopefully, Hawkeye/LTA may be able to sell the technology to the WTA for their livescores.

Yeah could be, it was working ok with me for JJ.

It's pretty cool, as you can change the view and also get specific Hawkeye stats.

Would rather have livescores from the wild card play-offs, but still. Also very weird they don't seem to have advertised this at all?

Heather+ Simona win 1-6; 6-3; 10-7 :D

Not bad for a scratch pairing against opponents dubs ranked inside the top 40 :)

+100 ranking points should take Heather way back inside the top 100, round about WR88.
