redm Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 ??????? I'm watching it streamed on the BBC website. Seems fine to me! I've got the video feed just fine. If you're relying on the text commentary, though, it's usually about 2 games behind and you're better going to the slamtracker on Wimbledon.org. (Why they never chose wimbledon.net for their site puzzles me.) EDIT: 3 break points!!!! Wimbledon.net would seem the appropriate choice. Opportunity missed. Presumably someone has snapped that one up though, great domain name. And nah, it's not the streaming. I can't watch that on work laptop anyway sadly. It's the rest of the general sort of info - schedule of play etc. It's ridiculously badly designed with daft links taking you off on to ATP tour stuff rather than specific Wimbledon info. The official tournament website isn't too bad, might have to stick with that for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! And the Wimbledon crowd, who I sometimes defend, can GTF. How can they not be getting completely behind Falla? Someone nobody's heard of leading the Greatest Of All Time by two sets to love in his back garden, injured... what more do these tossers ******* want?

Gutted for Falla, he had 4 virtual match points and now he is almost certainly going to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Two love Falla. I said at the start of the thread Wimbledon would be getting watched in between the WC but I've already missed the 2nd half of Portugal and havent seen any of the Chile match yet! But I've enjoyed this much more than any WC match I've seen so far. Amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Grrr. I didn't honestly think the BBC website tennis pages could get any worse but they clearly could. I can't find anything I'm looking for. Think I might have to give up and go for the official Wimbledon website instead unless anyone has any other recommendations? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8748690.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Squeaky bum time! Good play from Fed to take that final point. Playing the percentages with the sliced backhand. Can he sustain it, though? Falla looks to be moving reasonably freely so I don't think the "Ret'd (hurt)" is on the cards any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
