That may sound like an odd question ..

but i am mainly concerned with tennis..

do they have someone at all the tournyies ??

There is a score i am very very confused with ... and i think the results poster at hte tourny site screwed up becuse ESPN & yahoo have it opposite

I dont know David? I think they do have people go for the GS but not sure about the smaller tourneys. Check out Livescore, they are usually right!

live score gets there form the tourny site..

just doesnt make sense why yahoo & espn would have the exact opposite..

this is what in question...

FROM ESPN..

Olga Savchuk def. Tamarine Tanasugarn (5) 6-0, 6-3

tourny site has opposite..

and i am confused.. There is no way tama defeated savchuk.. compare there stats .

if it was closer id say maybe.. and why would espn post the opposite..

HMMMM

guys when in doubt go with espn or for that matter any of the major all sports networks. They are in the business of reporting scores. If they not on the site live they have paid stringers there.
