Thanks, I'll try again. I searched 'Davis Cup' and 'Tennis' (unsurprisingly) but the only tennis that came up was Queens and Wimbledon. I'll try under the sport menuCovered End said:
I just searched Davis Cup on i player and it came straight up.PrincessFiona said:Anyone watching the Davis Cup? Thought it supposed to be iPlayer but I can't find it.
Dan Evans currently playing - I can find the match stats on a Davis Cup site but not the feckin score!
It's 4-5 to Evans in games and is on live.
Edit - I:m in via the categories and then sport
Thanks1 -
Anyone know if Draper is out for the whole round robin, or could he play later e.g. against Canada (I'm hoping)?0

Will play if fit - decision still to be made.PrincessFiona said:Anyone know if Draper is out for the whole round robin, or could he play later e.g. against Canada (I'm hoping)?1 -
Jacob Fearnley through to the final of the Rennes Challenger tournament. Has already won two challenger events this year and up to 137 in the rankings. Looks a promising player.2

I can't keep up with all these British tennis players coming through, great to have so much depth now.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Jacob Fearnley through to the final of the Rennes Challenger tournament.

Raducanu retires with foot injury against Kasatkina after losing first set 6-1. Injuries continue to be a problem.

And it's the type of injuries she gets which are concerning. Either she's not conditioned enough, or her body just isn't suited to professional sport.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Raducanu retires with foot injury against Kasatkina after losing first set 6-1. Injuries continue to be a problem.

I hope it's that she's still young and growing but her coaches should be aware of that stuff0

Draper beat no. 2 seed and world no. 8 Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets to reach the QF of the Japan Open.
His half of the draw contains himself (#20), his QF opponent Ugo Humbert (#19), Tomas Machac (#34) and Alex Michelsen (#49) so a decent opportunity to reach an ATP 500 final.1 -
Draper retires due to abdominal injury in QF against Humbert. Disappointing end to tournanent.
Jacob Fearnley in the Challenger Final at Orleans today - would be his fourth Challenger title of the season if he wins and move him inside the top 100. Interesting to see how far he can go.0 -
Fearnley up to 98 in world rankings after victory in Orleans.3

Line judges are to disappear from Wimbledon as the All England Club has decided to adopt electronic line calling from 2025.
The technology will be in place for all qualifying and main draw matches and replace the judges who were responsible for calling shots 'out' and 'fault' on a serve.
There will also be a significant change to the schedule on the final weekend, with the ladies' and men's singles finalists no longer walking out on to court at 14:00 BST.
In future, the singles finals will begin at 16:00, with the men's doubles at 13:00 on the Saturday and the ladies' doubles at 13:00 on the Sunday.

Interesting swap in the schedule. I guess with doubles matches being so much shorter than they used to be, they now make a nice prequel to the main event of the singles finals.clive said:Line judges are to disappear from Wimbledon as the All England Club has decided to adopt electronic line calling from 2025.

Might mean more people in the arena see them too rather than just leaving after the singleskillerandflash said:

With Draper progressing well and the new 15yo girl Mika we have 2 genuine prospects in the next few years1

Draper up to 15 in the world4

Draper wins Vienna final in straight sets. If he can stay injury free he has to be looking at a top 10 place in the rankings.3

Another great win for Jack - just beaten Taylor Fritz in Paris1

Paris Masters:
Big win by Jack Draper in beating Taylor Fritz 7-6 4-6
6-4
Now meets Alex De Minaur.
7th win in a row for Jack and always good to see him beat higher ranked player's.2 -
Brilliant result for Jack. Solidifying his place in the top 20 now. Another deep tournament run and he might find himself top 10 by the year end.1

Katie Boulter reaches the Hong Kong open final with a 6-2 5-7 6-2 victory over Yue Yuan.
I predicted that Katie would/could reach 20 in the world 6 years ago if she could stay fit as she was tall with a strong serve( erratic though !) and continued to improve.
She will be at least ranked 23rd next week and she is within a few aces from winning her 3rd WTA title of the year and chasing that elusive 20th spot.
The 25/26 season will be possibly Boulter's best chance of progression in her career before the travelling and the toll on her body. 28 years old now so big season for KB next year.
Katie's Boyfriend Alex De Minaur had a good win against Jack Draper coming back from losing the 1st set and halting Jack's winning run. I watched most of the match and Alex is a tremendous athlete and runner and improved as the match moved on.
As Princess Fiona states, 14 in the men's is excellent at 22 years old and with the likes of Federer, Nadal, Murray and Stan the man all retired or about to it just leaves the GOAT still playing but even Novak is showing signs of being human.
Time: the one competitor that even genius Sport athletes will succumb to, eventually 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏿♀️🤷🏼♀️2 -
Unfortunately was beaten in the round of 16 by Alex de Minaur who got revenge for the US Open straight sets defeat.PrincessFiona said:

Even though he’s 14 in the live rankings now, he may be leapfrogged by Ugo Humbert or Karen Khachanov and be forced to settle for 15.
He’s the fourth highest ranked player under the age of 25 behind only Sinner, Alcaraz and Rune.3
