BBC don't have the rights to evening matches. Only Sky Sports and TennisTV.

Its a shame the BBC arent screening the Tennis from the 02.

Surely they must be screening the Semi-Finals & Final though?

Typical the BBC sacrifice all the sports for the extortionate price it pays Wimbledon just so there executives can go on a jolly and ferry celebrity's sitting in the royal box and if the pennies have quite not run out they find a few more pennies for more elite sport but can't even get that right ! Day time games , that somes up the BBC ! Wimbledon has made the BBC so poor its whole sporting schedule is based on a pay as you go - the whole thing is laughable

Those are some funky beachwear trunks Cilic is wearing.

They can't ignore the outcome but they can't talk about the cause. It's a weird situation alright.”

I wonder what it is they know about and can't talk about?

BTW he's not the no1 anymore

Berdy might not have come to the 02 but the spirit of Berdy lives on through Cilic's shorts!

Glad he won in straights, not a good performance really. Both matches have been pretty dull today but at least Andy won.

Awaiting your prediction as to who will win the ATP World Tour Finals appledash. What with you being so spot on regarding the Paris Masters and all.

I know you didn't ask for my opinion but you're getting it anyway.

For me it's hard to see past the form book so Andy but my outside bet would be Nishikori and I think that Murray may meet Djokovic in the semi's as I have a feeling Nishikori may win Andy's group

I think you could be pretty much spot on with that prediction Aaron. Hope so anyway.

i've done extensive research on this matter since it arose and i have to agree with you they are Berdy shorts. Berdy is the king of crap outfits. especially when he goes to China (don't look it may damage you).

It's all a bit like Kyrgios. A bit of hot-headed behaviour on court isn't particularly unusual, but the vast majority quickly realise it was wrong, and are contrite by the time the press conference rolls around. Of course the press will ask about it, and it's not a conspiracy to do so.

Congratulations to Amelie. Hopefully people won't be quite so surprised this time.

You do realise that ever since 2009 (?) the BBC have only ever shown the daytime singles matches during the round robin stage, dont you? If Andy is in it or not, tough titties.

I actually didn't, no. I probably forget every year. Also, for 2 years it didn't matter because I was actually there.

Jamie and Andy could both be number 1 at the end of this tournament.
