TENNIS: A new champion in Paris, then on to the grass

[JaneJeffer]

Did David win Ilkley?

I can’t find Eastbourne on iPlayer either. Usually it’s under the ‘summer of live events’ bit but nothing today. Where did you find it Raahh?

I think that historically winners at Ilkley got a Wimbledon wild card but not any more

With Gasquet I think that Wimbledon are playing the French Open at their own game and only giving wildcards to home players which is a bit rubbish really and seems to go against what wildcards are for

He did, yes Jane.

The way WCs are decided confuses me. It varies so much from one tournament to the next.

Yes, the 'home player' WC thing does seem a bit tit for tat.

Chessie it's definitely on iplayer- I just clicked on the Eastbourne logo- it does look like it is yesterday , but it's not. It's live today.

(But it's not through the red button, it's through the iplayer app- it might be on red button later- it's so complicated- I don't know why they have to mess about with it so much).

I think I was watching an old match

which probably explains things

I think I will stick with Sky!

Weird, I’m on the iPlayer app and it’s definitely not available for me! I can see days 1,2 and 3, day 3 is definitely yesterday’s coverage.

Same here ice. No live Eastbourne at all.

Since when has Wimbledon quallies been best of 5?

Just ignore me- I think the heat is getting to me

So- BBC2 is (honestly ) now showing the Cobolli match.

(probably because Katie is on after it)

TRANSIT VAN!

Bingo!

Yes it’s on the iPlayer now too. Katie’s match was supposed to start at 12:30, wonder why it’s delayed.

That confused me as well I'm sure it was best of 3 yesterday

It's on Centre after the Harris/Cobolli match, I think.

Well done Billy 'Arris.

(But Flavio is very pretty).

Well done Billy.

Ah, of course. I got confused about which match was on which court.

Ice it's a very confusing day

They are still pushing the transit van thing, even though it was debunked last week

And who is this woman with Naomi. She needs to cough.

I was about to say - Katie couldn't have played the Mo Connolly- she died in the 60s!

Maxime lost his match

Oh no, poor Maxime!

Gael has the upper hand against RBA.

Paolini doing very well against Katie.
