Glad you have been watching - the ITF scoreboard is unclear and I thought Millie had lost. But the draw has now been updated.

Not just unclear but wrong ...it has Millie losing third set 6-4. What is the point of live scores if they can't get it right?
I've given up
They say they're 'fixing it' in the next week or two - frankly, I don't believe it (it's SO bad)
But I'm only using the betting sites at the moment - because you can trust them - it's the foundation of their business to get the score right (and they have streams for quite a few matches too)

All the kerfuffle the ITF had with the betting sites a a few years ago, with big inquiries and then various procedural changes which they then largely reversed, and now folk are relying on the betting sites rather than the ITF site to provide a basic score service.
The old ITF live scores app worked fine. I don't know why they change it!

Because it didn't belong to the ITF. It was the IP of Sportsradar who no longer have the contract. I'd dispute the fact that it worked fine. It did when it loaded, but getting it to load took a few attempts at times.

Thanks for the explanation Lambda. Sorry but I never had problems before and have spent hours watching live streams on my laptop as well as checking scores on my phone.

Millie serving for the second set, having lost the first

Have just tuned in - so allez Millie !

Well, despite having to save serveral break points, that worked out well :)

Will stay tuned in ..... you're welcome, Millie

It's very close: as always, Nikola takes the ball early, gets whip, surprises you a bit - and the big drug controversy and time off doesn't seem to have done her much harm
Millie's shots are a little more predictable but she hits a very heavy ball

I feel I am doing my bit at getting back at the betting sites :)

They safeguard £10 of my money (which I can get back when I want) and they have to provide me with free livestreams, like this one, usually on full screen size and good quality, which are sometimes not available anywhere else.

No one with any sort of betting problem (acutal or potential) should go anywhere near them

But anyone and everyone else should use and abuse them and milk them for every bit of benefit possible

Millie got broken at the end and Nikola served it out - and it was probably fair, on balance

Not much in it at all but Bartunkova was fractionally the better player in that last set
