OLYMPICS DOUBLES R2: Murray/Salisbury GBR v Krawietz/Puetz GER - Tues 3.00 am

[Sallydaisy]

Joe will know these 2 Germans rather well on the doubles circuit because both, with their respective partners have seen off other top teams recently.

Andy/Joe will no doubt be well be prepared but this will be a tough R2 doubles match.
Hope Andy is fit enough and they are both on top of their game!
:GBflag::olympics::peace:

[JennieF]

Do we know roughly what time?

[HoopGirl]

Do we have any idea when Andy likely to play next?

[Sallydaisy]

No idea until the schedules are released by Tokyo and it's on Twitter. Stu Fraser, Mike Dickson, David Law and Tennis on Telly are usually quick to tweet the information.

Andy and Joe up first tomorrow on Court 7 at 3 am our time

[RosieBear]

Groan. Got up to find the match delayed due to weather. No play before 11.30 Tokyo time .

[clancy]

Who's up and waiting for Andy and Joe ? My dog thinks I'm barmy! x

[clancy]

Oh no RB, just read your post.

[KnightOwl]

Yawn. So, what’s 11:30 Tokyo time…? My brain is not working…

[RosieBear]

3.30 am so hopefully only a half hour delay....m

[RosieBear]

Ugh. Now saying no play until midday (4am UK time) :sad:

[Jane]

Hi folks. Wakened up five minutes ago and thought I had missed the match, but am delighted to find that it is just about to start :) :doubles:

[Jane]

Players arrive on court! Best of luck, Andy and Joe :thumbup::thumbup::GBflag:

[RosieBear]

Here we go! Good luck Andy and Joe :peace::cheer::GBflag:

David - it is on BBC red button

[Jane]

Rain delay

[david1610]

David - it is on BBC red button

I just realised... thank you so much! Let's hope the rain does not last too long.

[JAMES4578]

Good start but unfortunately another delay!

[Jane]

I'm watching on Eurosport player (no commies) and they are showing the wet court and a caption saying play will not resume before 5.30

[Jane]

Now saying "not before 6.00am" I'd be surprised if they got started before 9.00am if the weather forecast is to be believed.

[Jane]

Perhaps I was wrong - there are a few dry patches on court and there is a man "hoovering up" the water - so here's hoping:thumbup:

[Jane]

Players on court

Hard fought hold to make 3-1.

Blast!! still showing canoeing

[clancy]

BBC being very stingy with their tennis coverage.

[Sallydaisy]

2nd set going with serve, GBR serving at *2-3.

[Teresa]

Krawkietz and Puetz seem to have woken up this set.

[Jane]

4-4

[Sallydaisy]

Rats, GBR had 2 break points at 40-15* but GER held on to edge ahead 4-3, still on serve though. Our boys held for 4 all.
Could do with breaking the Germans now.

[Sallydaisy]

C'mon Andy!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

:phew:

That was close but the Brits held for 5 all.

[HoopGirl]

Wish I could see this

[Sallydaisy]

Joe to serve to stay in the 2nd set at *5-6 after the change of ends.

[Jane]

6-6....tb time, Hopefully we wont have an mtb

[Sallydaisy]

Tie-break it is.... Germany serving first!

*0-1 GB break
1-1* GER break back ...
1-2* on serve
*1-3 GB break
*1-4 yippee double-break to GBR!
1-5* ... 2 more points boys!
:peace:

[Sallydaisy]

2-5* rats, that's a break back against Joe's serve but GBR still a break point up.
*2-6 and 4 match points!

[Sallydaisy]

[Jane]

Brilliant...6-2, 7-6 :doubles::GBflag::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Teresa]

I ran off to hide and they now have match points…….!!!

[exislander]

Well done lads!

[supergran]

Well done boys. :bravo::thumbup::GBflag:

[patmoren]

Well done Guys great win in straifght sets. They play really well together. Maybe Andy should give up chasing singles and go for doubles with Jo instead. I am sure they would get to the top.

[RosieBear]

Fantastic, well done Andy and Joe. Love this partnership, they complement each other perfectly and think Andy's absolutely right to believe in it and focus on it 100% :clap::GBflag: Nice that Andy's thigh wasn't strapped and to see him moving so well - really must be a minor twinge :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

In the Quarter-Final they'll play the winners of Croatia v USA.

That'll be very tough whichever team they face ...
If it's USA they'll be up against Joe's long-time doubles partner Rajeev Ram (and less experienced Tiafoe). If it's CRO they'll have big serving Marin Cilic and experienced doubles player Ivan Dodig.

[Genbrit]

Yay!! Andy & Joe. Well done.

[Stell]

Well done to Andy and Joe. I'm looking forward to the quarters.

[Silverdee]

Missed it! Recording on Eurosport just showing women’s singles. How do I get to watch the replay please? Not got Eurosport player.

[JAMES4578]

Closer in 2nd but good win, well done Joe and Andy !

I have the same issue - is Eurosport player the only way to see it?

It looks like it but hoping a forum member will have a suggestion!

[Jan]

Brilliant! Well done Joe and Andy :GBflag:

[JennieF]

Woohoo! Great news this morning. Bravo Andy and Joe - you’re a brilliant team together so hoping it can continue. Onwards and upwards we go :thumbup: :GBflag:

Summary of Olympics coverage
BBC1 & can only show two live sports, unlikely any tennis until Thursday.
Eurosport 3-9 on Sky, Virgin, BT TV & Eurosport channel on Amazon Prime;
Centre Court tennis on Eurosport 3 Eurosport Player (not via Prime)
& Discovery+ have *everything* live

[Teresa]

Rerun of tiebreak on BBC 1 now.

[Rosalind]

Great news but haven't been able to see it anywhere. I got eurosport especially but no rerun on there yet.

[Jan]

Rerun of tiebreak on BBC 1 now.
Yes, I caught it by accident!!

[themass15]

Also on Discovery + if you have a Sky Q box

[Rosalind]

If you take the bbc 9am programme right back to start (eg by going into iplayer or just pushing required button on remote) the tiebreak is their first item. It's right after their music intro when Hazel takes over the stint.

[Guerkins2]

The whole match, I hope, is on Catch up on BBC red button 4.00 to 8.00am. Just downloaded it and starting to watch it

[Silverdee]

Just downloading it now. Many thanks.

[Guerkins2]

Really sorry, you only get the first few games and nothing after it starts raining
:grrr:

[Elizabeth]

I can't find correct place for this. On Eurosport Player the rest of Andy and Joe's match is on same bit as beginning of match. You have to run white button at bottom on to about 2.11 and they are back on court. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Elizabeth, I've moved your post to the Andy/Joe match thread as that's where other folk are posting about "sightings".

Thanks Sally I couldn't find it.

Aww. Missed all this as thought it was in middle of night and did not have access to eurosport player earlier this morning.

It was scheduled to start at 3am but there was a rain delay and again after a few games so it eventually got going properly around 6am. There are various posts in the thread regarding catch up on Eurosport and on the BBC iPlayer of this mornings' roundup with Hazel Irvine.

Problem is I was lying in bed and didn't have internet access, just my old TV and limited channel access. I forgot to take my firestick with europlayer on upstairs last night. Doh. Stayed up late to watch the triathlon but looked like rain had eased.
