There is a YOG highlights programme on the BBC website and a second highlights programme due to be broadcast 4-5pm on the Red Button (presumably also available via the BBC website) which might or might not include Ollie

The highlights available via the Red Button etc. appear to be syndicated highlights with no special emphasis on Brits. The tennis section was 5 minutes devoted to the match involving the French Open champion Elena Svitolina. Ollie plays doubles only tomorrow (5th on court 1) with his round 2 opponent decided first match on court 5

ITF report

"Oliver Golding served notice of his medal credentials after a stunning 75 63 boys first round upset over top seed and world No. 1 Marton Fucsovics of Hungary. The 16-year-old Briton, the youngest player in the draw, put on a powerful serving display, firing down six aces, the last on match point.

Fucsovics, this years Wimbledon junior champion, missed two sets points on his serve at 5-4 in the opening set, before dropping serve again to concede the set. Golding then broke to lead 5-3 in the second set, before serving out for victory in style.

Golding, the only Briton competing in the tennis event, said afterwards: This is unbelievable, especially to win on this stage in one of the biggest events in a night match on centre court. I am going to take one match at a time, but know that if I play like I did today, I can beat anyone.

A disappointed Fucsovics rued the loss of his two set points in the opening set. He said: He was a little bit lucky on the first set point, and it was the turning point of the match. I didnt play my best tennis today but I tried everything. He was playing well and serving well.
