Not a great start there, 5 minutes before someone realised the audio track hadn't been attached to the studio feed

Sort the sound out!

Sound is ok on Prime, checked C4 again and the sound is there now but the pictures a bit sharper on Prime.

On prime my picture is slightly granulated and has poor frame rate. When I switch to CH4 everything is so much better.

So it looks like a direct feed from Amazon, with the deal presumably specifying that C4 can't monetise it by breaking for their own ads.

Fair play to C4 for paying up for this then (over £1m too), with no direct financial benefit to do so.

Think 4HD looks more bleached, so far prime is better but I wanted to catch up in F1 sprint qualifying during adverts so ch4 for time being.

If this is the future of the women’s game then it is a bright one

[Bonefish Blues]

This is a proper game

[272BHP]

Hope she is ok. Emma sat down at the end of the 5th game and her right leg was trembling uncontrollably.

Never a good sign.

Yep loving this match, really great tennis.

Umpire quite easy on the eye too.

[Scabutz]

This is tense already and its only the 1st set.

Also Fernández mum is hot!

[PhilboSE]

I’m finding Navratilova’s commentary quite hard on the ears. She does rather prattle on.

It was doing that before they started I noticed. Hopefully nervous excitement, and not just nervousness

[CoolHands]

It’s all a bit OTT isn’t it

What time is is scheduled to finish?

Enjoying it, but past my bedtime

[TEKNOPUG]

Sounds like almost every service is hitting the net?

Could be quite a while yet given the quality and closeness of the tennis

I've been thinking the same. I think its the servers shoes hitting the court after the serve. But it is quite off putting
