Will be interesting to see but for all the tournaments I've been involved with in France, 1.5 hours is the norm for match planning, for no ball kids, and even with a full third set. (My experience is that men's matches - overall - generally follow this, but women's always end up working out longer).    

PS Sorry if this has been asked before (it almost certainly has, my fault, not paying attention) but is their livestreaming?

Thanks, brittak.

I don't get Amazon Prime but I've now gone and looked at Bet365 (which I should have done before I posted, I guess..... sheer laziness....) and - YEH! - it's on Bet365.

So this afternoon has suddenly got perked up (not that it was too terrible anyway - love hot weather).

Thanks again, B.

PS I know he's been out for a while but it's not often that anyone could get odds of 1.5 on Andy to beat Liam (no offence to Liam either, but that seems a bit generous, no?)

 my Prime viewing is working just fine, and it is coming across well. Broady and Norrie looking like they might win this one after a slow start. 

You have to click on your Amazon Prime link on Amazon, being logged into your Prime account of course, and it is showing as the first button, click on Live 23rd June option

 Got it now, I was looking in the wrong place - Prime instead of Prime Video cry

 Since tennis is all I use Prime for, clearly it's not just the players who are rusty wink

Gutted about Jack no

Real shame that the BBC headline is "Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski lose .... " instead of "Liam Broady and Cameron Norrie win ... "

www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/53152493

Well played to Liam and Cam, but apologies to Jamie/Neal as I voted for them in JonH's poll which has clearly added to the pressure on them,

Big shame for the event that Draper is out, he was one of the players I was most looking forward to watching.

 

Hope whatever is bothering him improved soon.

Abdominal strain from what I am reading.  I hope it's not serious and that he has withdrawn just as a precaution.
