Andy/Dan vs Nishikori/Daniel Olympic dubs 1st round - day time tbc

Just popped on to say what an unbelievable ending to that match. Honestly thought that it was done. Brilliant stuff by both of them.

The journey continues :yahoo:

The journey continues indeed ...
... we've had 19 years of this!!!

Well I know I really shouldn’t be surprised at Andy giving us another murraycoaster. Talk about summarising his career in a match. I will sure miss them ( now that my heart has returned to normal ). What a ride it’s been since that junior US open win in 2004. A privilege. And have lived sharing it with you all and meeting so many of you at DC.

It’s exactly true what so many of you have said - what an emotional roller coaster to take that match!
Truly amazing and a fitting win by Andy and Dan - breath holding - love it!

Wowee!!!! How amazing was that. I had 2 channels where I could watch it over here in USA and both messed up, so I missed the first set. I was soooo upset.

Then I thought the worst. I should have known better. Said a few prayers and the 5 match points were won.

Unbelievable, although not really. So happy for them both and for us.

When do they play again, does anyone know. I'm having trouble understanding the scheduling over here.

I watched the match on the Red Button wondering why BBC 1 weren't showing it considering they looked out for him during the ceremony. I then found he and Dan were also on BBC 1 and I couldn't believe they saved five match points. I did keep hoping that they might come back and win. Fantastic.

Andy/Dan's opponents yet to be decided, expected to be 8th seeds Fils/Humbert who play later today.

Thanks James :thanks::olympics:

An upset as Belgians Gille/Vliegan will face Murray/Evans, now listed 4th on Suzanne Lenglen after Alcaraz/Nadal doubles. Draper v Fritz first at 11am Uk time

Might not be back in time for this one. Good luck to the pair of them. If they win I watch it later. If they lose my final memory of Murray on a tennis court for real will be him and Dan jumping around like excited school boys. A win win either way.

Andy and Dan are last on today. The BBC received loads of complaints about when they decided to start showing the previous match. Hopefully, they won't make the same mistake again and show basketball instead of Andy and Dan.

Will they show the march do you think?
They aren’t showing Jack playing his match

I am watching Draper v Fritz on Discovery+ - no commentary. There are too many sports for BBC to show everything live.

All tennis matches are on Discovery plus.

The BBC don't have the full rights to show the Olympics so there's no guarantee they'll show the tennis as I believe they're limited to the number of live events they can show in a day. Discovery plus is the only place guaranteed to see it. I'm likely to miss it tonight as am out on a Tuesday....

People also keep forgetting that BBC LOST rights to show everything they used to. Eurosport/Discovery+ got all the rights to show everything. It will be like this until 2037. After that we do not know who gets rights have all Olympic sports.

BBC can show sports where there is GB interest I think. They said tonight they will show the next doubles.

It is only because of a british rule that BBC have 2 channels.
