There you go, Simon Reed's spoken it, best of 3 sets at the Olympics.
Yes best of five in the final though

Didn't realise there are 16 courts here. The tennis venue doesn't look that big.

Do the BBC only have streams for Centre and Court 1? Which court was Hev playing on yesterday, which was televised?

It was an outside court but I don't know which number.

The ball boys and girls at this tournament look like quite middle-aged.
They don't have a Wimbledon with ball boys and girls so I'm guessing they are just volunteers like everyone else.

Some terrific variety from Andy to frustrate Troicki.

Is Simon Reed commentating for 2 channels? He suddenly starts talking during the rallies to someone.

Nadal finally gets the break - think about 5/6 bp's sailed by.

Nadal's match is going to take all night. Half an hour for 3 games so far.

Can't believe how different he looks. So much better.
So essentially he should not be allowed to pick his own clothes.

I wonder if Nadal chooses to have his shorts this short or if his PR told him he has to.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Channel 6 says Tennis on mine on VM at 20:20, after the Canoe Slalom, which was around an hour late in starting.

I am on Sky but I thought all the channels on different platforms had the same schedules. Rio looks pretty dull without the sunshine.

Andy and Jamie are playing doubles later. Probably 10.45pm on RB 6.

We still have Groth v Goffin to come first, before Konta.
