I'm desperately looking for live scoring too :( I didn't find I livestream either...

They predicted a bad day with heavy showers but do you know for sure that it's raining now? Oh I hate it that nobody knows anything about it at all :(

Look at this: http://www.tennisitaliano.it/edispo...463DB6FE33FF59D9C12574C80056B649?OpenDocument
It says 'Diretta su Rai Sport Sat'...a satellite channel. So no livestreaming for us and apparently no livescores either...great :mad:

My friend said it's still raining, probably could only get one rubber done today.
 
#16 ·
Hey guys when they'll start,I'll try to give you the score,at least game by game ;)
 
#17 · (Edited)
I love you :worship: :lol: Thanks a lot!
Do you have any idea when they should be able to play?
 
#18 ·
It seems it stopped raining,in about 15 mins they'll talk about the situation with the umpire,but it could take also 1 hour and half.
 
#20 ·
I think today they could play at least Fognini-Gulbis
 
#21 ·
An internet friend of mine took Juska's autograph cause I'd liked it and he sent it me by mail yesterday,I look forward to have it :p
 
#22 ·
That's so nice of your friend ;)
On which channel are you able to watch the match?
 
#23 ·
Rai Sport Sat
 
#24 · (Edited)
No update yet? I read somewhere that it's raining again.
Edit: pfff it must be awful weather there. Who organizes a davis cup tie outside in spring anyway? That's as stupid as planning your wedding party outside in december when you live in Belgium.
But the weather is going to be better tomorrow, right?
 
#26 ·
Yep, at 5pm. But where's our livescoring person? :eek:
 
#29 ·
Can you give some details about the conditions? Is it windy, cold, humid, cloudy, sunny? What's Ernests wearing? :lol:

I'm going have diner right away so that's I'm not have to leave the computer in the middle of the match. Don't stop livescoring :p
