What time does this match start? My Aachen scoreboard has been stuck for hours. . .

Oops, just seen Johnnylad's post. Has anybody got a working scoreboard?

Ill help you out Bethan.....kids in bed and on my own !!!

Thanks Bethan, I may have to leave for a while in about half an hour but it would be appreciated until then. I take it your SB works? Or the live feed, which I can't get to work either despite having downloaded the necessary file?

i'm watching the live feed so no idea about the scoreboard!

Thanks Drew. I'm curled up on the sofa using my laptop as a heater (the joys of student life!) but if i disappear it means the battery died on me!

About to start, no idea who's going first but I'm pretty sure I know which one is Boggo (the one in the white shirt) so I'll be able to tell you once they start!

Shame that Korolev beat Wang, that'll be a really tough match for Alex tomorrow if he wins this evening.

Thanks in advance for the scoring Bethan, that'll be fab

Well, the part of the audience seating area I can see is positively teaming with life, there must be at least 10 people there!! (the doubles match yesterday had a grand total of no one by the end).

Huta-Galung (HG from now on) serving

15-0, Boggo goes wide
15-15, HG goes long off a good deep return from B
30-15, first first serve of the match is an ace.
40-15, forehand winner from HG.
game HG, B can't get the return over the net.

1-0.

My prediction: Boggo in 2

Huta-Galung has a very similar game to Petzschner, big serve, tries to dominate with his forehand but he does come into the net more than Petzschner.

Apart from this week, Huta-Galung has been mainly playing in futures, winning 2 titles and making two semis. He did reach the quarters of a challenger on clay, but the field was quite weak and it was in Holland. His best results have been on clay but he's a good player indoors, gave Andreev a close match in ATP Rotterdam earlier this year

Boggo serving

15-0
30-0, first real rally of the match (by which I mean more than two hits each) and HG nets.
30-15, B comes into the net but loses the point as HG lobs him and B nets
40-15, either an ace or unreturnable.
game, return wide,

1-1
