Well, they squeaked through in a MTB, but Laura had an absolute 'mare on her serve in the second set. Hewitt and Stosur next - that will not be easy.

Although gone from the menus, you can still reach the stream of all Court 1 matches yesterday:

Half the time I can't find the stream I want when they ARE on the menus! Most of the time you have to take note of who played the first match on that court, because that is what will be showing on the menu hours after it is finished.

Yes the menu is so slow to reload! And on the TV it should have said who was playing the match on the court rather than just saying what court when highlighted.

Still, all this hd streaming is amazing, I cant complain at a slight bit of inconvenience.

Andy and Laura first up on centre court tomorrow at 12:00. If they win they play their semi final in the third match on court 1.

Amazing. So so so so so so happy.

How incredible to be guaranteed at least a silver.

I cannot tell you how much I would love to see Murray hoist up a gold medal. For our countrys tally count and for his own sake. God save the queen!!

I think the idiots scheduling the matches may have removed any chance of a gb medal.

Indeed. It always looked like an odd scheduling decision and it has really come back to bite them. I suppose they could always play tonight under the roof on centre.

However, they won't be. Match cancelled for the day so potentially 2 rounds of mixed doubles tomorrow. At least they are only sets and a MTB.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Yes, but if Andy loses singles today, he also a bronze medal singles tomorrow.

Bronze medal match for singles is Sunday.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Fear Not. No Bronze medal match for Murray. He is going for GOLD !!

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

So two matches forany tomorrow and Sunday.
I can't say I'm too worried, no worse than a normal tourney, and he's only had a two setter tonight, unlike Fed.

No sign of a stream yet. 2 streams of Table Tennis with no british interest; surely we can lose one of those?

Edit: Ah, they are late starting. Stream now up http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w30y0
