I've just realised that Bladetiger, Count and I are in serious trouble

The betting company totomix have shelled out a load of dosh to those betting on a Mackin win, on the basis that Boggo's official site gave the win to Mackin and us three were insisting on MTF that Mackin had won

Quick...we must head for the hills while we still can ! As it happens, B&Q are doing a special offer on portable sheds !!

Oh dear....looks like our intrepid trio are in big trouble.......no matter where you hide the bruisers from totomix will find you......

IN SHEDS NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM !!!!!!

Dont think the camoflage will help guys....suggest you move to the Sea of Tranquility !!!

 

The British boys have started!

Oh my, this is just too much fun  - it's pretty classy to get shown up by the BBC, the LTA, the ATP and a cranky German on MTF all at once. (even I haven't managed that yet, though I'm sure I will one day)

I'm glad I was cautious on the GRMB, though I have to admit, deep down I did believe all of you were right.

I don't think USM's crackpot theory about why Mike Raphael got it wrong makes any sense, but my own theory would probably get me sued for libel by Mike so I'll keep it to myself.

Very sad that Mackin lost though - I hope Boggo can put things right tomorrow.

Lol Johnny, luckily I have 3 different accounts on MTF. I think that goslabs will retire from public life now for the time being

So that's why you denied that goslabs was you on MTF. And here was me thinking you were just fishing!

I expect he is worried about giving results unless he has a sheet signed by the tournament director, the umpire and both players!

Seriously, as somebody who has been given duff info from a tournament office before, I really do sympathise.

I think its only British tournaments because they are the worst at releasing scores officially anywhere

I thank you.

They are the idiots, betting on these matches and having a go at you guys for only trying to help

Just spoken to Bladetiger:

Goodall bt Stakhovsky 6-2, 6-2 Josh played extremely well today

Auckland lost the first set 7-5 to Nielsen. Nielsen was 5-2 up in the 2nd and served for the match at 5-3 but Auckland broke back and made it 5-5. Nielsen has just held to lead 6-5.

Nielsen isn't a particularly big server and has a weak backhand so James should have the advantage in a tiebreak

Bottom half of the draw has opened up with Dick Norman losing to Bubka. Bubka won the 1st set 6-2 and Norman retired, at 3 match points down in the 2nd.
