Hey Mel
Well I just registered for the ATP Draw Challenge. Registration went well, but seems like they have a little problem atm, because I only get an error saying: Unable to connect to the forums database.
But I will check again tomorrow and see if I find the group.
Will share this on our forum as well.
And yes, looking forward to IW. That would be one of the tournaments I would love to go and watch as well. Hopefully I get to watch a lot on TV, I’m so tired of watching streams all the time.
Have a wonderful day and talk to you soon
p.
Great to have you in the challenge and I hope the issue gets fixed soon so you can join the group.
I think the Roger v ARod match will be on TV around lunchtime tomorrow my time zone so am hoping to be able to watch some it too.
Cheers
Mel
