With the uncertain end time of the Football ... ET and Pens are possible, any change would seem unlikely. What is interesting is that with the roof closed at Wimbledon that a late night Djokovic finish is likely. Clearing space somewhere post 9pm must be being considered currently. Murray being unlikely to finish pre 7pm, a post 10pm conclusion must be on the cards.

And Djokovic v Tsonga under the roof could be a real cracker. Would be a shame if it ended up on Red Button only.

Sue Barker has said they will stay with the match until its conclusion.

Coverage tomorrow starts 11:30 as there will be play earlier than planned.

Staying on air until 9.30pm, displacing The Culture Show.

Just the ten hours for Sue today. Across two channels. Stamina . . .

The Culture Show is rescheduled to 22:00 tomorrow replacing a repeat of QI.

It's a bit more complicated in Northern Ireland, where it was supposed to be Cuisle at 22:00, The Culture Show at 23:50, and the QI repeat tomorrow at 23:50.

Who was the commentator along with John McEnroe on the Nadal match?

Thought it might have been. Far better than the likes of Henman, Castle and Lloyd.

There hasn't been a Today at Wimbledon now since Friday. That really is very, very poor.

If they (rightly) choose to stay with the live coverage, they should at least run Today at Wimbledon on the Red Button after the BBC Two coverage is finished.

They could do with something similar to the mini-MOTD on the sports app.

This week kind of shows though why perhaps they haven't opted for a 10.35pm show on BBC1, although that said any night they couldn't show it on BBC1 due to football it could air at 11.20pm on BBC2 - as indeed it used to if it was displaced.

The last couple of days have really needed a round up programme too thanks to the packed schedule and some shock results.

Definitely. From a purely personal point of view I was really looking forward to watching highlights of the Nadal match tonight. I would prefer not to sit up late to watch the entire match online or on demand, but would like the main points of the match with reaction and analysis. Very disappointing.

Coverage presumably starts early again tomorrow? 11:30am on BBC1 due to PMQ's?
