Which Channel Is Showing Today's Tennis At Wimbledon?

[ladybirder]

I thought BBC1 and/or BBC2 were covering it. Not today. All I can find is yesterday's play. Help please.

[bednobs]

no play on the first sunday unless theyre catching up

[Toorak]

There is no play on the middle Sunday (unless they have had a lot of delays due to weather)

[theshedman]

None on today as it's rest day.

[ladybirder]

Phew thank you. Not missed anything then;-))
Watched it all these years and didn't know that - or forgotten it.
Although you all answered at the same time have to give BA to the first on the list but thank you all.

Next year they're planning to play on the middle Sunday.

Little point remembering after today. From 2022 there will be no rest day on the middle Sunday of the Wimbledon fortnight.

The poor English summer means that play normally has to happen on the middle Sunday.

From 1877 until 1982, there was no play on any Sunday at the tournament. The men’s singles final was held on a Saturday, a tradition that came to an end with John McEnroe’s win over Bjorn Borg in the 1981 final. In 1982, Jimmy Connors beat McEnroe in the first scheduled Sunday final.

Bad weather in 1991 forced officials to break tradition and schedule matches on the middle Sunday and three more times in 1997, 2004 and 2016.
