Delighted to see Jonny finally getting some decent wins again, especially as his ranking was about to fall off a cliff.

Seriously BBC??!! Jonny and Adil's match not on the red button, or the website options??!!

I would admit that I have very much more interest in singles than in doubles, but the BBC seems to barely acknowledge that it exists.

And when we just have the one singles player in the last 16 perhaps a little more attention is due to a doubles player ( and former Wimbledon champion ) at that stage.

Presumably Wimbledon have decided to reduce the number of tv courts for the second week. The BBC have gone from 16 courts to only 9. Then at the same time they have put both Jonny's and Naomi/Heather's last 16 matches on non tv courts.

How someone could think either of these things was a good idea is just bizarre.

Jonny and Adil with an early break vs Cuevas & Granollers.

*3-1

Thanks Long Time Reader. That's why I can't find it streamed anywhere else then

Does anyone know if it's 3 or 5 sets??

Long time reader · Lower Club Player

Think its 5 again from the 3rd round

indiana · Tennis legend

It's a secret

babybean · Junior player

Gosh I hope it's 3. They are a break up in the 3rd!

Ridiculous. I was looking forward to watching those matches.
