I might use this actually, not loving Tennis tv, although I was glad of it for a few days :thanks:

Couldn’t agree more! Huge servers don’t allow great tennis to be played :sad:

This is the Freesport schedule. https://www.freesports.tv/tv-schedule.html

Hope they don't jinx it. They have the tournament live today, tomorrow and Sunday and each time they say Andy Murray playing.

[jackie55]

Oh no Andy:sad:

[david1610]

Oh well, not to be today. :(

[HoopGirl]

What will Andy’s ranking go up to now?

[JAMES4578]

Andy could just not do enough today and a disapplointment,saved 2 match points but ultimately could not stop Bublik. oh well at least something to build on.

[HoopGirl]

Seems he’s play8mg in Atlanta next week.
Don’t think Newport suited him!

[patlowe]

I'm a wee bit disappointed, but only a wee bit. My overriding concern was that he wasn't carrying an injury, and there seemed to be no sign of one, so relief, on we go to the next event. Bublik was giving him very little today, he was relentless.:tennis:

[banskogirl]

Onwards and, hopefully, upwards!

I want to see Andy playing and happy.

Was good seeing play with no obvious injury and hoping he’s good for Atlanta

Caught Bublik's post interview. He was asked if he had been out and about in Newport, been to any nice places to eat. I'm sure he said something about it being a not very place and that he wasn't keen on food outside his usualvroytine. Perhaps someone heard it and can confirm. Anyway he got a few whistles, whatever he said.

[Stell]

He's now number 52, HoopGirl, in the live rankings.

Yes that’s pretty much what he did say! It was not a good place for food! I think his interviews are usually like that, with someone offended :eek: perhaps it’s his sense of humour and lost in translation!? :facepalm::rolling:

[HoopGirl]

Thanks Stell - is that after this week or before those points are counted?

There’s a free app though so can watch on tablet, no chromecast though by the looks of it, so small screen only for those who don’t have sky …. Future reference now Andy out :sad:

[Hawkeye]

It’s full-screenable from their website.

[Caro]

Yeah, I meant small screen as in not TV. App also has full screen.
