    What's beginning to really annoy me is the coverage.

    Watch a match on BBC1 and suddenly, for no apparent reason, it's transferred to BBC2 whilst another match takes its place on 1. Now, I am but a bear of simple brain but ..... why not continue showing that same match on 1 and put the alternative on 2?

    Or is that just too obvious? :scratch::what:

      Yep +1 from me too - there cannot be the need. Don't mind the constant updates in between games though while all you normally see is a knackered tennis player eating a banana. Not Federer of course, don't think he ever breaks a sweat lol

      Finding it difficult to not watch the de Brito / Sharapova match. Think they're doing competitive grunting and I'm getting jealous of Sharapova's physical trainer...

      Murray is doing exceptionally well today :)

      Nadal out, Federer looking shaky against this Ukrainian fella; it's looking good for Murray's side of the draw!!

      OK so are you all saying Murray can only win if he has no real opposition.;)

      Who cares? I'll take the win!

      Oh yes, and OMG (which I don't use often) Federer soundly beaten! I am hugely impressed by Sergiy (odd spelling), that was probably one of my top 5 matches ever. Massive effort and in the face of the Fedster's tantrums and shooting the ball directly at him.

      Sergiy played really well, I was impressed by him. Well-spoken as well at the end, seems to be a nice guy
