QR1: Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO) WR 1220 beat Benjamin George Levi UNR 6-0, 6-3 cry

Real shame that Brits have been in the main draw here the last two years; maybe one of the doubles specialists will turn up but I doubt it.

I really hope you guys will stop by our site tomorrow and watch some tennis and give me a little feedback. We are now using 3 hi def cameras, professional cameramen, instant replay, live scoreboard, guest commentary from Ken Thomas(radio tennis) and post match interviews. I'll be in the booth for most of the matches as well. Hope everyone is doing well over here.

Love it guys. In previous years I watched only for the tennis but now I am watching as much for the commentary as the matches! I'd be surprised if any other Challenger event organisers could even look you guys squarely in the eyes and say that they were maximising their tournament's potential!

Only caught a little bit of the coverage so far (would like to have seen more than I have though) but it looks like you've upped the level again from last year and the coverage is fantastic.

Hopefully a lot of the other challengers can look at what you are doing and replicate it, or employ you to run the coverage for them as it's definately a very good service.

Keep up the good work (and I'm sure eventually some Brits will turn up!!!)

Brilliant, Craig. The video quality is excellent!

I only wish more of the ATP livestreams were as good. You beat most of them hands down.

for anyone interested the next match up is dubs with the battistone bro's, wonder if they will jhsve their funny racquets.

I'm glad I got back home in time to have a look at this - the coverage is stunning, it'd put most ATPs to shame, as well as all other Challengers!

thank you for all the kind words. i wasn't in the booth as much as i would have liked(dealing with player requests...etc), but i think we pulled it off. hope to see bakerboy, goodall and hutchins next year. we will be adding plexiglass in front of our broadcast booth next year so we can increase our voices and make it easier for everyone to hear us. everyone keep in touch. have a great 09.
