Thanks Joe. You can get all the Webledon Tennis Championship real-time scores with the IBM Real-Time Scoreboard, a standalone application that pushes point-by-point scoring information to tennis fans. Live scores are delivered directly to the users' desktop scoreboards as the scores change - every point, every match. It's a popular application: Tennis fans downloaded over 4.2 million IBM Real-Time Scoreboards in 2002.
