Good on the completely unheard of, unsung Swiss tennis player
He must feel truly like a spare part at most Swiss tennis events - pleased for him !
he has been swiss number 3 for many years now and largely plies his trade around the 200 ish ranking mark, in challengers generally...probably a career win for him
Djokovic v Sandgren coming up. Just out of interest, is there a way that both players can lose a match?
Oh would that that were possible!
Well I suppose one could lose, and the other could swat a ball into the crowd in clelbration - and hit an official ..........
Nah, it'll never happen.
I am so glad others feel the same way! I have been so busy not really had chance to watch much tennis but was about to settle down to watch RG for the first time, saw this match up and started watching Aussie Rules football (in desperation) instead! Throughly enjoyed it. Compounded by the way Naomi Osaka has been treated probably be focusing on the Aussie Rules for some time, the tennis authorities dont seem to have much insight into role modelling a sport you would want your kids to play or how to build a brand.
There are 4 Americans ( Isner, Johnson, Opelka and Giron ) through to R3 in the bottom half ( in fact in the bottom quarter with one in each of the four of that quarter's R3 ties ).
Just got Fritz still in the top half but already very good.
Cam is playing on Court 11 today, after two women's singles. I cannot for the life of me find which Eurosport extra channel covers this court. ! think I have gone through all of them. If anyone does manage to work it out please post here. Many thanks. (I am watching on Amazon Prime with the extra subscription for Eurosport.) Perhaps ITV will cover it, I just thought, in which case I can find that on my computer I am sure. (No actual TV here).
Julia, don't know about TV but if you log onto Eurosport on the computer you get every single court so he'll definitely be on there.
It's a different set up on Amazon Prime though - it'll be there, but just hard to find, and a nightmare if you are switching between matches. The ES Player direct has all the courts lovely labelled, whereas via Prime doesn't. I had the free trial on Amazon last year, but didn't like it at all - I'm sure I couldn't get many matches on demand either - I could only see like Dart vs Buzarnescu on demand (so must have been the French last October) and very few others, but anyway, I went straight back to the direct version.
It's a bit of a shame, as I can't actually get the Europsort Player direct on my main TV downstairs, whereas I can get it on the Amazon version, but overall, I much prefer the direct version, so I keep subscribing to that for one month during the 2 slams they have the rights to.
Edit - I'm also not sure if Cam will be on any of the main channels. Eurosport 2 are cutting away from the tennis at 1.20pm UK for a couple of hours for their daily cycling, and he'll likely clash with some big names (and ITV4 and Eurosport 1 will probably show the same match, as they always do with the likes of Nadal, and are even doing now with the Svitolina match). Inverdale did say they would try and fit it in, but I'd be surprised as at least 1 of Roger or Novak will likely be on at the same time.

OK, well I just went through all the Eurosport Player channels on my laptop, via my Amazon Prime account.
Court 10 - Joe and Rajeev channel 12 Court 11 - Cam on lter - channel 13 Court 13 - Jamie and Bruno on later - channel 15
Thank you very much - it's an arduous process and when I checked before I couldn't find the appropriate women's match anywhere and then I had to go out. So brill, thanks.
