Part 4 wasn't up for viewing last night. The conclusion to the match was not there. It is now.
It was frustrating last night and maybe worsened was a bit harsh. I like iPlayer/ red button access, I am using it now to watch mens senior doubles but it has been better (imo) in previous years (or at least a better layout)
I don't mind constructive advice but whether you meant to or not your replies seemed unnecessarily condescending.

Did anyone see the invited veteran doubles match with Bahrami the other day?
I have never, ever, ever enjoyed tennis so much. Guy's a genius.
On a sadder note: Marion Bartoli. Oh dear. Clearly in desperate need of help, although I'm not sure the help she thinks she needs is the help that'll actually improve her health… odd how nobody famous ever develops an ailment which limits them to sensible portions of normal and nutritious food, innit?

I don't really watch tennis these days - I had enough of it after playing for a while in high school. I didn't realise the gap between mens and womens tennis was that big. Was kinda hoping Serena could go on to obliterate all male players too!Edited by ashleyman on Friday 8th July 00:22

Was up close to Federer watching him on one of the practice courts this morning; I was struck by how slight he was looking and how he seemed to have aged over only the last year. Clearly has a wonderfully deft touch but I couldn't get over how much lighter and older he looked.anonymous said:

the chap was called Karsten Braasch, almost retired at the time and ranked about 200, played a round of golf in the morning, followed by a boozy lunch then went out and beat the easily, he later said he played like someone ranked about 600 just to keep it fun! Apparently he was smoking as well on the changeovers! This is how a journalist described him: "a man whose training regime centred around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager."

The 'Skye' part may preclude watching video (having those sort of issues Loch Ness-side)Now this was 11pm after a long shift at work so I may have misses it but all I wanted was a highlight show for all four matches and I could not find one
The problem was we recorded both programmes BBC 1 & BBC 2 before we went out and they changed the programmes around afterwards.
We have "catch up" on the box but she was fully in the swing of things only to find the programme stop at 2:1. We then went looking and found it live at 2:2 & just a couple of games off the end. No point in watching iPlayer or Catch up when you know the score.
