Had to go out just before the end of the first set.
So pleased to see Andy and Feli won (though like others, really feel for Joe and Rajeev, and would have been perfectly happy for them to win too).
Not so pleasesd to see that the Beeb switched to BBC4 part-way through, so my recording doesn't have the end. Hoping they put it up somewhere, but not holding my breath.
It was on BBC1 earlier; 1 match 3 channels I am sorry you didn't see the end - what about the BBC website and/or YouTube?

I've got most of the match. Tried iplayer and BBC website - it seems as though it's supposed to be on the latter, but tells me content isn't available. Maybe it will appear. Not tried youtube yet.

Thanks for ideas! I was just so frustrated when I discovered they'd changed channels.

I felt really sorry for Mr Salisbury. In any other year he would have been the object of 95% of the crowd's support, being the plucky Brit in the final of a grass court home tournament. Our to happenstance, however, he just happened to be in the final when the patron saint of British Tennis - Saint Andrew of the Murrays - was on the other side of the net (together with a foreign chap that didn't seem to be able to find the locker room, so he spent the whole week on court). Being a plucky Brit in those circumstances but having only one's family as support must be a bit depressing.
