If the BBC had put the First Night of the Proms on BBC4 at 7.30 - simultaneously with Radio 3 - they'd have avoided at least one of the problems they're facing.

No chance of the Proms moving. Can I put some money on the Ten being delayed?

Just moved to BBC1.

Considering commentators try and avoid talking during points you'd think they'd handle the change of channels better, and in relation to the 6pm switch at least be willing to delay thinks a few minutes to complete a game.

Could switch to BBC4 at 10pm. Actually only billed till 9pm on BBC1 at the moment so they might (unwisely) bump it then.

Big news day so I think the 10 will stay put and they'll move to 4.

If they wanted to be imaginative, move it to CBBC streams, unused from 2100.

Might as well move it to the red button if they're going to do that, and see the viewing figures plummet, and cue angry viewers who can't find it.

Still a long way behind, but I've just seen a camera angle I've not seen before - there's a camera (or two, I assume) in the middle of the net. Low quality, so/because it must be tiny.

He really puts a dampener on these epics and I really think he is out of tune with the audience. Nobody would remember this match or Isner-Mahut if they'd been decided in 5th set tie breakers.

But he is right when he points out that the next game is going to suffer. At least whoever wins/won gets an extra day to recover this time around, but after Isner-Mahut, Isner was walked all over by whoever he played next. And this is to decide who plays in the final. If it went to a second day and into the sixties, the final would be a complete letdown.

Netcam, introduced at the Laver Cup last year.

Also new this year (I think) is one from in the crowd at the netline. Was only thinking the other day how different tennis would look if filmed from the side football style.
