Quick question, is the square of the four courts with the banking on one side now numbers 3-6? I used to love sitting there as it's where the always put the Brits but I think they Courts 14-17 back then!


From the current site map.

The four courts in a square backing onto the NTC are indeed 3, 4, 5 and 6

Courts 7 to 16 are the long run down the north boundary.

17 and 18 are on the west side of courts 1 and 2

Yes. 

It is :

Banking

6 4

5 3

Pretty crowded in Court 3 ( rather smaller ) stand and up on the banking.

 A really spicy handshake between Atmane and Tarvet at the end. Atmane kept hold of Oliver's hand and eyeballed him.

 Oliver winning this made my day! Not a fan of Atmane! He spoke well afterwards to wasn't faded by him by the looks of it.

Appreciating the updates Indy - there's no streams available for any of the courts, apart from Court 1

The cheers were from Paul Jubb winning


Ha, I had sussed that at the time. Not having been directed anywhere else for now by your good self, I'm having a wee break.

Intend to get myself back to Court 2 in time to see some of Jan.

Not going too badly then ...

James Story getting heavily thumped. His opponent did qualify and make round 2 here two years ago... so has grass pedigree.
