https://en14.sportplus.live/tennis/ seems to work OK. It can freeze at times but they offer two streams to choose from.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Completely agree with the decision not to grant Lily a main draw WC.

While her previous progress here might have been noteworthy from a British tennis perspective, from a wider tournament view it is no more than a deep-dive footnote. You could probably rattle off a score of other players who would be more deserving versus the generally accepted criteria for a wildcard.

Indeed, but who was suggesting otherwise? There were one ot two queries on the forum about her getting a Wimbledon MD WC, which was clearly a very different matter, and logically she did get one there.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Yes - why would the US Open ever give Lily a MD wildcard, Jeff?

A puzzling comment. No-one expected any British WCs here.

Thats why Jeff made the comment. It was irony but slightly oblique in nature!
