What has happened to the ATP Livestream site. My link now takes me to a different site and asks me to run Adobe Flash. When I do that I just get the message "Offline".

This is the site it takes me to.

I hadn't had time to look this morning, but I get the same.

The ATP site actually says that no matches are being streamed currently, so maybe when they are this new link will be ok...hopefully!

Thanks Jan. At least I know it isn't just me with a problem. Let's hope they get it sorted.

That's George - exactly as last year in juniors - some brilliant shot-making, great athlete, I'm a mega fan.

But his head goes a bit AWOL (as per previous comments re his coaches) and he loses important points with careless play.

I wonder if he plays much team tennis, either here or anywhere.

He starts really well (prepped from coach) and then - for instance - in the first game of the third set, a really crucial game, plays a poor one.

If that had been a team match, he would have had his captain reading him the riot act before going on to court for that game and he would have been a lot sharper. It will come with experience but serious team tennis would be really useful (with a rigorous captain)

However, all is good - the lad's a star - super tennis player.

FQR: (q2) Tobias Kamke (GER) WR 223 defeated Ed Corrie WR 445 by 3 & 5

L32: (6) Peter Polansky (CAN) WR 119 defeated (WC) George Loffhagen WR 893 by 3-6 6-1 6-3

Good experience for him, I suppose, as long as he learns from it. hmm

never seen him play but the result today proves he is not overawed I have seen Aiden McHugh play a few times most recently in Glasgow and he was streets ahead of players like Glasspool and Gray in ability

I'm with you Scottie. Aidan and George were my two picks from last year at Roehampton - and I'm sitting pretty !

Aidan is a far more 'focused' player and, as you say, tons of natural skill. They're both a real pleasure to watch. (And with Jack and Anton and Harry and Jake etc. all being very good players too - and maybe better in the long run, who knows - it's good times).

That said, Lloyd Glasspool's match at Surbiton against Taylor Fritz was a really top class match - I was really optimistic he'd found his mojo again - and seem to be wrong....

The problem is at their end - there are loads of matches being played at the various Challenger events. I'd quite like to watch!

Should be a great experience that he can surely take things from and very well done on taking that first set. Onward ...

Michael Mmoh's match on court 3 is on videostream right now (with 15 others) - I'll keep an eye out for Liam when the time comes. Sounds like the problem is just the ATP

Thanks CD. Really like that at his age the good seems to be so very good, with the shot making and athlete in him. The rest will come in degrees in time, hopefully will come a long way, and we should have a very good player.
