    I genuinely think that Kyrgios would not have made those comments had he known they would have been picked up by the microphone.

    How do most of you watch your tennis? i.e. have a match on the tv, one on the computer and all the while keeping track of live scoreboards or do you tend to stick to one match? Personally, I struggle to keep track of more than one match - more so if it's on the Beeb because their red button takes forever to load.

    Interesting that Annabel Croft has taken over presenting duties on Sky. Booing again for Kyrgios.

    I thin Marcus will be back later in the week. He often doesn't start the week for the Masters Series. I recall a couple of NotMarcuses' over the years who were rubbish. Yes Dan Lobb that includes you.

    I'm with you, unless there's two or three big matches, I will tend to just concentrate on obe, and keep up with the live scorecard, I can't really hack watching two matches, I might have one on the puter in a tab, but only go to it when it's entering a crucial time.

    I don't think he gives a flying fudged shot whether anyone hears him or not. He reminds me so much of Jonah Takalua from Summer Heights High.

    Oh really? First time I've not seen him presenting. Thought Annabel Croft had been given his job or something. Coric is a very powerful player for such a young guy.

    During Wimbledon it was possible to get red button on Sky 981, 2, 3. This was easier than red button.

    Pretty poor performance from Kyrgios. Not sure with a guy like him if he's genuinely injured or just looking for sympathy to get the crowd back on his side. Oh no don't tell me Richie is gonna throw this away leading 5-1. :D

    Sloane looks to have got her act together. She is very talented.

    Looks like in this picture, Cincy fans would rather watch Kyrgios than Sloane Stephens in the bigger court:

    Guess he's a bigger star now :confused:.

    For 5 minutes he is, to quote Cantona "when the seagulls follow the trawler..."

    Not an huge amount of people watching this Coric/Zverev match which is a shame really.

    Wining a title at last will hopefully allow her to reach her full potential.

    Good win for Coric. Not amazing quality tennis but great to see 2 young future champs in that making.

    Sky have a contract with the ATP, BT with the WTA.
