Draw - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/surbiton/7297/draws


Andy is playing :)

Here is the BBC coverage schedule - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/61570969


Andy Murray's first appearance at the Surbiton Trophy since 2004 will be shown live on BBC Sport's digital platforms.

The Briton, 35, has opted to skip the current French Open to prepare for Wimbledon, which starts on 27 June.

The two-time Wimbledon champion, now ranked 67 in the world, was 17 when he last played in Surbiton's grass-court Challenger Tour tournament.

The women's draw features Britons Heather Watson, Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter.

Qualifying takes place on Sunday with the main draw running from Monday until Sunday 5 June.

Matches on the main court will be broadcast on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport app, with some coverage on BBC Red Button.

Second seed Murray will be joined by 20-year-old Briton Jack Draper, who has won four Challenger Tour titles already this season, in the men's draw.

World number 58 Mackenzie McDonald is the top seed, while fellow American Sam Querrey, who ended Murray's defence of his second Wimbledon title with victory in the 2017 quarter-finals, is also playing.

The BBC also has live coverage of the grass-court events at Queen's from 13-19 June and Eastbourne from 18-25 June before comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon across the BBC from 27 June to 10 July.

Not being shown because it is raining. Also I don't think they are showing qualifying matches, so good chance there won't be any matches shown today.

[exislander]

Oh, l thought Andy was playing today

The first Centre court match has now resumed and there is another qualifying match on that court scheduled before Andy's match. I have to be out this evening so hope his match will be on before then.

[cazza99]

Just as well its delayed as I forgot about it LOL. I'm watching Rune vs Tsitsipas playing at the French.

[Nessie]

I can’t seem to get it on iplayer - originally said there was an error and now Surbiton not there!???

Probably not on iplayer till after the qualifying matches. Challengers are on the ATP Challenger streams which are including the qualifying matches.

Tennisontelly on twitter says Surbiton is starting soon.

Its raining again. :rain:

[themass15]

Given up and on my way home; thank goodness I don't live too far away

[cazza99]

A revised oop for today indicates that play starts at 5.15 to complete the started matches. However still rained off by the look of it.

[cazza99]

Andy will play the winner of Radu Albot and qualifer Gijs Brouwer next.

2 Brits have qualified - Billy Harris and Mark Whitehouse.

[goldfish]

Given up and on my way home; thank goodness I don't live too far away

We stayed and watched Mark Whitehouse complete set 2 and the start of set 3 then also gave up. Sorry we didn’t get time to chat - looked for you during the rain break but decided you must have left. Such a shame we didn’t get to see more tennis today.

[Nessie]

Given up and on my way home; thank goodness I don't live too far away
Oh we looked out for you after the rain delay and couldn’t see you!!. We only saw a tie break and 8 games of Mark W and then the rain came again!

[themass15]

I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow and, as I hadn't bought a credit card, couldn't even purchase a cup of coffee. I went soon after the rain started at 12 and was back home by 1.30 p.m. Enjoyed watching Zverev v Alcaraz instead, plus which I thought the toilets left a lot to be desired.

[goldfish]

What a shame - would happily have bought you coffee but I’m sure you were better off going home, staying dry and watching tennis.

[Stell]

I was listening to the Nadal vs Djokovic match, last night, when I heard David Law mention the rain and hail storm in Surbiton. What a pity and I hope they have better weather today.

[cazza99]

oop Thursday - http://www.protennislive.com/posting/2022/7297/op.pdf

Andy 3rd on Centre after two ITF matches that start at 11.00 am.
Followed by Paul Jubb.

Liam Broady plays at 11.00 am on Court 1, followed by Jack Draper.

[Stell]

Well done to Cash and Patten who won 6 - 3, 6 - 3 today against Bellier and Harris.

[Stell]

Ryan Peniston has just lost in three sets. Pity.

[supergran]

Really enjoying watching Andy back on grass. He's had to work hard in his last two matches but positive signs. Can't believe the crowd though. They're so lucky to see Andy but rarely make any noise. Don't they know Andy loved vocal support?

The contrast with Roland Garros makes it even more noticeable! Paris crowd, love them or hate them, are loud and there is always a good atmosphere. I loved it when I was there.
Hate the polite quietness. Never understand it. Too posh to shout?? :whistle::laugh:

Well done to Cash and Patten on winning the final 4 - 6, 6 - 3, 11 - 9 against Nedovyesov and Qureshi.

[cazza99]

Has the final between Kudla and Thomson been played?

I cannot find any results and it is not up on livescore.


edit. Found it on BBC website. Thompson beat Kudla 7-5 6-3.
