    This is why I hate espn
    20 minitues into their coverage and a lot of good matches going on. Instead of ******* showing tennis, they show 3 people chatting about old matches. Then they show footage on baker. Save that shit for later, show tennis. I dont want to go to the computer and watch espn3 i want to watch on tv. Breakfast at wimbledon is like breakfast listening to people talk about wimbledon.

        If you get stuck for watching games, the BBC has an excellent live stream section 9best I have seen) where you can switch to a almost any match and watch perhaps 5 secs behind. Depending on where you are you may need a VPN.

          ESPN needs to switch to the Querrey match. He's going to come back from down two sets to none and force a fifth set, and we're going to miss most of it (if not all) ...

              Nothing to jinx. My posts don't have any control over what occurs on that court.

                  Can you guys stream on livescorehunter or firstrowsports or whatever it's called when ESPN is shonky? When I first moved from N America I was devastated about the loss of ESPN but once I left I realised it actually kind of sucks other than those specials they do. Not sure who makes their programming choices but when I hear you guys complaining about stuff it makes me thankful I have other choices. Yeah everyone wants to see Djokovic destroy Shari's boozy grandfather in the first round.

                  Didn't NBC used to be the tennis king??? I thought they always covered tennis and golf.

                    I use vipbox and lshunter a lot, but it sucks having to watch a stream instead of getting on TV in HD. Watchespn has matches, too, but to the feed gets laggy at times. I just want to watch it in true HD. lol.

                    NBC has fallen hard ... They used to show a lot more NFL, they had the NBA contract with Turner and they showed a lot more tennis and golf. They still have some decent stuff (Sunday Night Football, NHL, etc.), but it's not the network it once was when it comes to sports coverage.

                    NBC still shows a few days of the French Open, but you get a lot of tape delayed coverage if you don't live on the East Coast. CBS shows a decent amount of US Open matches, which is obviously much easier to show live coverage of in the U.S.

                      How about the nice ethnicity bashing interview with the Scottish lady where they pretty much made fun of her accent to her face. Wow.
