Highly entertaining first semi-final today. Daniela Hanutchova playing well and coming out on top in a tight, topsy-turvy affair.
Apparently Sunday's final will start at 10 am sharp. Tomorrow's 'flaming June' weather forecast predict's a monsoon. Must be the grass court season !
It has rained so much this week in Birmingham and in London. And I'm sure we can expect more of the same.
I couldn't watch--Tennis TV viewing is blocked in the U.S., and Tennis Channel isn't showing Birmingham live.
Quite worthwhile info, much thanks for the post.
