It will definitely be on the website if they play today.

Goffin Groth on RB1 now with Konta to follow.
If you have a connected tv as they say, you can view centre & court 1.
Check your listings for RB 6 at 10.45pm.
Ah thanks - great! Found it. Thanks you all

So bad has Nadal's year been I'd totally forgotten he won Monte Carlo and Barcelona. Can't believe this is first tournament since RG.

I love it. It feels more like being there without the inane chatter.

Without wanting to get into the whole 'weak era' debate, it says a lot that he's still top five despite basically not showing at the first three grand slams...

Indeed. What are your hopes for your man Jewels? I reckon if he gets to the SF's and doesn't get humiliated by Djokovic he'd be doing well?

Venus & Monfils were both on late last night and both on the red button. If you've got Sky the extra red button channels are between 472 & 479 (no idea what they are on Virgin), plus BBC4 also show Olympic stuff.

To be honest that would far exceed my expectations. He himself has said he doesn't expect to go far in the singles but hopes to make more progress in the two doubles.

I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd pulled out after carrying the flag - I think that that was so important to him so anything else will be a bonus.

Having said that, a gold medal or two wouldn't go amiss...

Is it me or is this Olympics just not 'lighting up' for anybody yet? There just doesn't seem to be much atmosphere at many of the events I've watched so far. Hopefully it is just me and it's maybe because it's only a couple of days in - plus we haven't won a medal yet!

I can't really tell. This time four years ago I was still on a term time contract so I could watch the whole thing. I'm going to have to call it a day now as I'm up early for work tomorrow so that automatically means it's not as good for me.

The venues seem a bit empty from the pictures. I know we had a problem with corporate tickets being empty when loads of us were on the website pressing refresh refresh refresh so maybe it just feels a bit lacking in atmosphere because it's not happening here.

In London, things only really got going for me after 'Super Saturday'....hopefully they'll be something similar to ignite these games.

Deedee, you're too good to me. I love his confidence these days when he does these shoots - he knows exactly how many hearts are palpitating! Cheeky minx.

Nothing is going to schedule here. It's all very laid back.

I was just thinking it's much nicer than what she usually wears.

I thought it looked bad at the time, having done something similar to my ankle though not in similar circumstances.

Everything is late because of the rain this morning. Edit - I mean the wind.
