As a student I have just decided that I don't have any lectures today. Priorities...

I Wonder where is the umpire. Lebesson throws the ball about 5cm

[Tom TTD]

Is anyone having problems with the Laola1 streams ?

 

[AndySmith]

Is anyone having problems with the Laola1 streams ?

Yeah, pretty bad so far today. Cutting out a lot, popup ads covering the score over and over again.

 

[raytt]

aren't all of lebesson and feger's serve illegal? whats going on with empires judgement?

 

[Garrison]

Excited for Dimas match vs Gauzy. Apolonia's serves are pretty much over the limit as well as he removes his arm way too late. We can only hope the ittf/ettu tell their umpires to call this out more

 

[AndySmith]

Is it just me (it may well just be me), or have the rallies been poor today? Lots of unforced errors.

I wonder which ball they're using...
