This made me chuckle and Andy shared it 😂
 
I could be wrong but when I check the schedule for today it doesn’t look like the BBC is showing any tennis apart from Nadal/Alcaraz dream team at 6pm BST. Such a shame, there’s so many matches I wanted to see today including 4 Brits.

Is there no red button going on?

They have one Olympics extra stream but on this page there is no tennis listed - apart from the men’s doubles - between iPlayer and main channel.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I've got Eurosport, so I've got options, but I don't know whether anyone is showing everything! I don't have Eurosport online (now Discovery+) anymore, but I'm wondering whether I need to subscribe to get full coverage of everything, rather than just relying on what each channel is showing?
 




zoom in on his face!!!!


The Olympics are also on Discovery plus which is free if you sign up through sky so wonder if the tennis on there?

I think Eurosport is part of the Discovery network now so I think they have some coverage. But I also don’t know so take that with a pinch of salt.

As I understand it, Discovery has the full rights. They will show everything. I don’t have Sky or any kind of TV package / subscription service so all I have available is BBC and therefore quite limited coverage tbh.

At the moment Discovery are doing a promo offer where you can sign up for their standard plan (usually 6.99) for 3.99 to access the Olympic coverage, so that’s what I’ll be doing. It’s annoying but that’s just how things are now.

Theres an olympics app which I've just downloaded which looks quite good with all the schedule and stuff. Theres also a Team GB one but not got that (trying to limit my hyperfocus!!)

Eurosport and Discovery+ are part of the same company. My issue is that I have Eurosport on my TV, but no longer have an online subscription, which lets you choose to watch events not being shown on the TV coverage.

Oh that’s a shame. Having the coverage split between multiple places makes it hard to follow. I’ve just signed up for the special offer and put the Discovery app on my TV and tablet. Not happy about giving the company my money but what can you do 🤷‍♀️ I’ll cancel it when the games are over. I need to be able to watch the tennis! 😆
 
BBC currently have Olympics on 1 channel, but the red button gives you another sport.

Eurosport on the TV has Olympics on 3 different channels.
 
Anyone else wondering if Andy got an invite for the torch speedboat? You'd think he would for retirement and a double gold singles Olympian. But the team boat seems more his scene.

At least they put a second roof on the courts there for the Olympics!
