Dzumhur still fighting with the umpires, huge break in play as he wouldn't get out of his chair in the changeover. Felt like ten minutes.

Nishikori / Kuznetsov goes to a 5th after kei blows the 4th set tiebreak.

The only one they'll put on is Roger, understandable because he's the GOAT but come on.

Now fully rooting against the aussies.

When I was in US for Wimbledon a couple of years back I remember thinking this is terrible. ESPN had the rights iirc

Starting to think it's justified that we in the U.K. pay a fortune for our telly but well worth it as it completely blows everyone else out of the water. Beebs coverage of wimbledon is sensational in comparisment.

Kingweed if you have internet you can download the app and basically watch any court you like.

I used to bitch about the Beeb a lot. I stopped doing that after spending 12 months in Australia. It's very good value when you consider what people in other countries have to put up with.

In New Zealand it's pay for it, or go online. Which isn't bad, because you get the actual sport without the nationalistic element (not that there is any in tennis anyway!) in most sports not named rugby or cricket.

Kyrgios up now. He gonna tell someone in the crowd to STFU by set 2 at the latest.

Yeah. So so so much better. UK coverage is amazing

Lol, Stan is playing steaming it via the app because duckworth is playing. Unbelievable how idiotic that is.

I'm gonna be in melbourne, any recommendations for best round to go to? quarters?

lol and he gets broken in the 5th set in an awful service game.

it's so weird he doesn't even look like he wants to win, he's showing zero emotion hardly looks like he's trying n his body language is like he's already lost.

when he lost the point to get to 40-40 in the game he eventually got broken he just dropped his head and acted like he had just lost.

just really strange to watch.

what a crazy comeback.
says alot about stan that he was able to regain his focus and break klizan twice in final 3 games.

he was pretty fortunate to escape that match it really looked like he was dead after getting broken to go down 4-3 with klizan serving in the 5th set.
