Warming up! Dodgy camera angle but it's better than none at all.
Keep your ears peeled for a certain forum member who, flight willing, will be courtside to cheer him on.
Go Mo!

I don't think it's going to take Andy long to beat this guy. (big cheer for Sibille when he wins one point and there's even relief from me!)

Andy breaks for 2-0 and at least can view, however picture quality pretty poor.
Is it really dark?
Yes. But it's the only live tennis I have currently!

Andy breaks again to go 4-0 up.

I can't even see the whole screen on my computer! So, no idea if they'll have lights on.
Having to scroll up and down to see what's happening on each side of the net.
Better than nothing though ...
Andy now 5-0.

Andy doing wel at least though would be surprising if this was a test , dark but I can just about view it.

Andy takes the first set 6-0.

This is unwatchable. Bummer!
It is really dark, their streams are usually better than this...Come On Andy!!

Andy breaks for 2-0 in the 2nd set. Crowd loving every point he plays!
Hope Mo is enjoying herself!
Sallydaisy

3-0 Andy Murray!
It's only 6.30 here in the UK and already the dusk is taking over so I imagine it IS quite dark already in Mallorca. Do they have lights?

Ninth successive game for Andy, not much opposition but keeping the focus!
I suspect given it's free, there's a man with his mobile filming it :lol:

I'm glad you said that! Was worried it was my device that was so dark!!

I often watch Challengers on bet 365 on ipad - yes, still dark today but at least can see whole court.

4-0 Andy.
Just looked at a live webcam of Palma harbour and it looks a bit gloomy, not as dark as on the Challenger video though! Sunset over there is 20.30, and it's already 19.42.
I actually think what I'm watching has got darker than when the match first started.
Sallydaisy
26-08-2019, 17:43
5-0.
The way Andy is motoring through the match I doubt we'll have much longer to worry about the Livestream!

Not the double bagel though, Sibille holds for 1-5, come on Andy!
Sallydaisy
26-08-2019, 17:48
Pandemonium in Mallorca as Sibille gets a game on the board!!!!!
Andy Murray to serve for the match at 6-0, 5-1.
Rosalind
26-08-2019, 17:48
that's the first time I've ever clapped when someone got a game against Andy! No double bagel today.

Andy wins 6-0, 6-1. Next up is #3 seed Gombos.

At least it was dark for us all and not an individual problem. Is that normal for Challengers? I guess because it was getting dark there. Hope the others are better quality.
Well that's the first "walk in the park" that Andy's had for a long time....Well Done!!!:thumbup:
Great result - not much of a "challenge" really!!:)

Maybe cannot read too much into it but Andy performed well in circumstances, Gombos more of test though. Still well done on first singles win since hip surgery :cheer::cheer:

No they are usually decent to watch, never seen it that dark before...so fingers crossed for next time Rosalind!

Can't remember if I have watched an evening match before but never seen one so dark. Tomorrow the match is scheduled for an hour earlier so hope will be better.

According to Tennis on Telly it's at the same time as today i.e. 7pm local, 6pm UK time.
Given it's sunset at 8.30pm in Mallorca we may well have 'dark' pictures again!

Fair play to Andy Murray for winning that so comfortably at 2am and no floodlights.
Good turnout too.
He didn't show any mercy!

Great! Well done Andy. Onwards and upwards - seems ages since I’ve uttered those words, well before he became No 1 in the world!

Well done Andy! Watched on my phone coming home from boat, thought that was why it was pitch black!
Hopefully slightly better tomorrow night :) a good straightforward win for Andy!
Looking forward to tomorrow night now
Finally getting a moment to post! So much tennis to watch today! And on top of that, visitors! Managed to catch most of Andy's match though, and now that I've had time to read all your posts, I realise the picture quality was poor all round. Fingers crossed it will be better tomorrow. It's great we have another Andy match to watch 2 days in a row. Nice wee warmer for him today to get things underway.
Well it’s not often I feel sorry for one of AM’s opponents. In fact this could be a first.
Poor lad, he looked like a goat staked out to catch a tiger. Still a great experience for him.
Congrats on your first singles win post surgery Mr M.
Well done Andy. Did feel sorry for the young lad but what an experience for him. I think he learnt a lot from that and I was actually pleased he managed to win a game.

Couldn’t watch Andy yesterday as was travelling to Gatwick airport which was a disaster as am now back home with Easyjet flight first delayed 3 hours and then aborted landing in Jersey (twice!) and then we flew back to Gatwick!!
Anyway, is it possible to watch a rerun of Andys match? I haven’t been able to find a link.
I didn't watch it, as I was out all day and came home very tired because of the hot weather. I read he'd only dropped the one game, I thought he might win with a double bagel.

Silverdee here is Andy's post match court interview, at the top of the page is a highlight video of the match, that's if you can see it, we all had the same problem:)
