    There's no football, I won't see the cricket in Serbia, and I only have the tennis to watch. Will Murray and Konta do the double?

    Konta through. Murray struggling against Fogini in very topsy turvy match.

    Murrays completely lost it now. His frustration is showing, he just hasn't been able to get into any rhythm with a player that is terrible for a couple of games and then sublime. Needs to get his game face back on

    And from nowhere he's back in the set, in some very very close games. Now to hold serve but that's been a challenge in this set

    I notice Andy Murray actually has a father! I thought it was an immaculate conception!

    He's done it. Ends it with a perfect service game. Tough tough game! He did fantastically to get through that and he'll be delighted to have avoided a 5th set

    Murray take set to win with a superb bit of serving....after serving poorly all match.

    Wow, Murray wins 5 games in a row to take the 4th set and win 3-1. Amazing comeback!

    Wonderful men's double match on the red button. Clarke and Willis (GB) the wildcards are two sets to one up against the number two seeds Herbert and Mahud. The Brits keep winning on challenges...Hawkeye must be biased <laugh> The French pair were sat down thinking they had won the 3rd set when a hopeless appeal by the Brits was upheld....and they went on to win the set. Don't suppose the British pair clearly enjoying themselves is doing much for the French mood either.

    Shame...the British pair had 3 match points and couldn't convert any....then they were broken in the next game. Now trying to hold onto the 4th set.

    Two sets all :(

    Clarke and Willis win in the 5th set. Only been playing together for a couple of weeks and Clarke is only 18. A great result.<diva><diva><diva><diva>

    Glad I caught the end of this, could they go all the way?

    Well if they do, GB could feasibly win four out of the five main titles this year.

    You've obviously got internet access, so you can stream the cricket on Cricfree.

    Had a week at Wimbledon this year and I'm not tennised out yet :D I predict Nadal and Azarenka will be the winners but the women's in particular is totally unpredictable. I can't see anyone but someone from the top 4 winning the men's and would love to see Willis/Clarke in the latter stages - Clarke has been talked about as the next great British hope for a while though he's starting late for singles, hopefully winning in the doubles will be great experience for him.
