This match is very up and down.

How are you all watching this? Do you have to have Sky?

Raahh · 28/08/2023 21:15

Well done Casper- probably a bit trickier than he would have liked.

Well done Casper. Phew.

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 21:21

Well done Casper. I missed the end. Bloody school ruining my tennis watching by making me have to do stuff Grin

I have Sky but it's on Now TV as well I think? I'm not in UK

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 21:22

What the heck is going on with the sound? It sounds like aliens trying to communicate 👽

Fizzywinegum · 28/08/2023 21:42

I’m watching Brady v Birrell - Birrell looks spookily like Maria Sakkari - at first I thought it was a replay!

I’m not enjoying the sky coverage - bring back prime where I can choose my matches!

IceandIndigo · 28/08/2023 21:52

I agree Fizzy, although I think if you have proper Sky you can choose? It seems a bit arbitrary who they choose to cover. I’m watching Taylor Fritz but it’s not the most interesting match.

Fizzywinegum · 28/08/2023 21:59

I’ve just switched over to Fritz - I agree it’s not the most interesting match and I don’t find Taylor Fritz very engaging (apart from when he ran around the court shushing the crowd at the French open Grin)

I think I’ll try and work it all out tomorrow

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 22:04

Even though I'm happy to be able to choose which match I watch I'm finding Sky clunky compared to Prime when it comes to flicking between matches. If you exit a match you have to exit the app and go back in to choose a different match which is really stupid. Also it's not really an app, it's a red button!

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 22:06

Plus they don't even tell you about the red button. I just happened to check it myself.

Fizzywinegum · 28/08/2023 22:08

Prime was rubbish at first so fingers crossed Sky will get better soon - they seem very pleased with their Tim/Martina/Joanna combo so hopefully it will improve

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 22:15

I've put Francisco on. I love his top. It's a really nice shade of blue. Which he has now removed and is wandering around topless. Not that I'm complaining.

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 22:18

Francisco's brother Juan Manuel won his match today.

JaneJeffer · 28/08/2023 23:52

Marion looks like a Neapolitan ice cream

ChessieFL · 29/08/2023 05:45

I watched some tennis yesterday but just through the sky go app with no commentary as everyone else was hogging the TVs. Pleased to see Lily Miyazaki won her first round match.

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 29/08/2023 09:20

For some reason, Sky Sports is now showing Djokovic's match, which seems by all accounts to be the most boring thing that happeend overnight. Where's Gauff vs Siegmund and all the aggro I've read about on Twitter?!

Thanks Jane, I'll check out Now TV.

Deliciano

Raahh · 29/08/2023 16:56

I've just switched on, hoping to see the Zverev match, but they aren't on the channels I have. Medical time out for Ons who seemed to be having an asthma attack and looks quite upset.

Raahh · 29/08/2023 17:01

Humbert And Berrettini are on the now infamous court 5 Grin. I hope neither of them have an issue with that. Would have liked to have seen that match too.

<mutters- 'bloody Prime' for zillionth time>

Matteo has taken the first set, as has Sascha, i have just seen.
No -one seems to know what was wrong with Ons.

I can't believe someone from Hungary called their son Attila

Raahh · 29/08/2023 17:09

Seriously? Grin They obviously don't have the same baby name angst there that some people get here.

I suppose it has a certain ring to it. And you can shorten it to 'Hun'.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 29/08/2023 17:14

He's playing Danill and the commentators are baffled as to what he's even doing there because at 34 he hasn't had much of a career or match play and even retired previously!

Fizzywinegum · 29/08/2023 17:14
Grin

I still haven’t worked Sky out - I don’t think that we’ve got access to the red button choices

At first I thought that Katie Boulter was being shown on every sky channel but I’ve managed to find Ons now - I think it’s very humid there

Would also like to be watching Matteo’s match Sad
