WASHINGTON QF: Andy/Jamie v. Klaasen/Venus - Fri not before 10pm

[Hawkeye]

Andy and Jamie take on Klaasen and Venus not before 10pm BST on John Harris Court on Friday 2nd August.

[Silverdee]

The weather forecast for Washington today is dreadful!

[RoastLamb]

Oh no it's not on tennistv's schedule today. So sad. :crying:

[Teresa]

Down for 10pm on Live Scores. Amazon Prime said at the end of the last match, they would be showing this one.

[patlowe]

Andy/Jamie on John Harris Court, which is a televised one, so I would think it will be shown ok.

[david1610]

Andy/Jamie on John Harris Court, which is a televised one, so I would think it will be shown ok.Two days ago Andy and Jamie's match was the main(banner) item on Prime's page for the tournament and yesterday, Kyle's match, so I doubt they would not be showing it! ;)

[RoastLamb]

I don't have Amazon but if it's being televised I am shocked that tennistv isn't showing it. I've sent them a tweet but they have not responded as yet.

It's one of the prime banners today David, so they are showing the match live.:thumbup:

ATP Washington Amazon Prime Video from 19:00
Edmund v Gojowczyk
Cilic v Medvedev
Murray/Murray v Klaasen/Venus nb 22:00
Tsitsipas v Paire nb 0:00
Gombos v Kyrgios

[lovetennis]

Sooooo when's Amazon going to switch on the coverage? According to livescores the players are out on court. The match is advertised on the banner bit only the Cilic match showing at the moment

[Guerkins2]

Just what I am thinking

[lovetennis]

The Main Coverage stream AND the Stadium Court stream both showing Cilic. Meanwhile Andy & Jamie's match has started. Amazon is awful

[exislander]

It seems not to be shown anywhere so far. Maybe Amazon will show it between the singles if there is spare time?

[Guerkins2]

Looks like they have messed this up :(

[exislander]

It is not on bet365 either.

[lovetennis]

Bit naughty to have had the banner running all day advertising the match "Watch Live Tonight" nd then no sign of it. Grrrrrr

[lovetennis]

Meanwhile Andy & Jamie lead 2-1

[Hawkeye]

Bit naughty to have had the banner running all day advertising the match "Watch Live Tonight" nd then no sign of it. GrrrrrrLooks like the banner was taken down when they realised they'd messed it up.

[cazza99]

Could it be the main tv company covering Washington has no cameras on it.

Strange it is not on Tennis TV either.

Hmm,

Andy Murray and Jamie Murray v Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus is underway, looks like there is no coverage I'm afraid, unless they go to it after Cilic v Medvedev finishes.

Unfortunately it sounds like the ATP aren't providing coverage of John Harris court to any broadcasters today.
I think coverage of the doubles (on Amazon) depended on whether the match was moved to Stadium, so in a way you can blame the singles players on that court for taking their time.

[RoastLamb]

I can't find any free livestreams either so the cameras must be turned off.

[jackie55]

Oh blast what a pain was looking forward to watching Andy and Jamie's match......does anyone have link for livescore

[Mandiemoo]

My spleen is vented all over Twitter, Why is this not being shown? Sounds like ATP provide the streams for doubles. They are not providing one & Amazon were operating on the hope that the match would be moved to Stadium but those matches have run well over. My Friday night ruined :-(

Cross post with Sally!

[lovetennis]

Feel like a toddler about to have a tantrum :shamed: I really do not like Amazon

I already did to tennistv twice and they're ignoring me. Eejits! It's not like I pay to watch their service.

[Sallydaisy]

It doesn't seem to be the fault of either - especially tennistv!

I'm tweeting at them - not that it will do any good

[patlowe]

A real anti-climax! Was so looking forward to this all day. I think it's most likely that the ATP are not providing broadcasters with the stream. If even they would explain it or warn us! Grrrr!!

[RoastLamb]

Same. Look, they MUST have known there'd be lots of interest in this match.

[KnightOwl]

So annoying that it’s not being shown :furious:

The previous match was a great watch, so I was really looking forward to this...

[Sallydaisy]

3-3 first set and going with serve. Murrays now serving.
*0-15, 15-15, 30-30, 40-30.

Murrays held for 4-3

[RoastLamb]

Well doesn't this feel like 2006 when we had to watch his matches on livescore. :lol:

[Mandiemoo]

So cross, forgot there was a match being played! Medvedev just won so let's see.....

In answer to a tweet from Caro (forum member):



Tennis on telly @tennisontelly4m (https://twitter.com/tennisontelly)



Prime Video can only show what the ATP provide. It's not just as simple as having the cameras, they need operators and a whole chain of equipment and people behind the scenes which may have been there yesterday but aren't today.

[Jane]

I have just been on the phone to Amazon and told them of my feelings on the matter, and I wasn't too polite.:grrr::angry:

[lovetennis]

The horrors of who owns the stream etc is bad enough but what has really annoyed me is that they advertised it - people may even have subscribed specifically to watch it. If they're not confident they can show it they shouldn't have advertised it.

It's 4-3 on serve to our boys

[Sallydaisy]

Meanwhile, amongst the angst on AMFF ... the Murrays are trying to break the #3 seeds.
*15-0, 15-15, 15-30, 30-30, 40-30 and hold.

C'mon Muzzahs!!!!!

[Genbrit]

There are cameras there as Tennis Channel has just shown a split screen and said you can watch it on Tennis Channel Plus, which you have to pay extra for. Strange that there are no livestreams though that I can find. They were advertised earlier but have disappeared. Ugh!!!!

[KnightOwl]

Amazon Prime feed has gone to some tuning setup thing, and says live programming “begins shortly” so fingers crossed it’s Andy & Jamie.

It’s been saying that for about five minutes though....

[Sallydaisy]

Murrays: *15-0, 15all, *30-15, 40-15 AND HOLD.

I didn't realize that RL. I have tennis channel and you used to be able to watch all courts but now you have to pay extra to see any other but the main one. it's an extra $99.99 a year and I refuse to pay as I already pay for the main TC. I can normally see the other matches elsewhere anyway.

We are owed an apology and an explanation. It's the very least Prime can do. Ok, they may have no control of what they can show us, but for heavens sake, be upfront about it instead of advertising it all day and getting our hopes up. I'm so disappointed.

There is no other match on now. I subscribed today - was going to for US Open anyway. I guess they just thought no-one watches doubles normally.

For a split second, I read that as Venus Williams & thought it was mixed dubs lol!

[Hawkeye]

In further bad news, if our boys win, both semi finals are on the John Harris Court tomorrow. This is balanced by the fact that they aren't on at the same time as the singles semis.

[Jane]

Whoever wins this will play on the same court tomorrow, at around 8.00pm (UK) so the chances of seeing that seem pretty slim, unless somebody does something about it.

Yes similar. It's like a bunch of sixth formers trying to run Prime tennis. Or is that an insult to 6th formers ?

[exislander]

It sounds like Amazon were expecting it to be available for them to show as the first round was available. Who is responsible for the availability? I think someone thought there was not enough interest in doubles normally and did not realise there would be an Andy factor in this case.
