Is Eurosport only showing one match as I wished to watch the Rublev game and there is only the main court showing with Sonego/Humbert. If this is the case it is very disappointing to say the least.

Well there was the mountain bike world cup on eurosport now so some times other events will be on.
Today is also the final stage of the Giro di italia this afternoon.
Eurosport have to cater to fans of various sports for their linear offering and now instead of showing the men's mountain bike world cup (moving that to their streaming platform), they have both channels showing tennis.
But a lot of the time, at least this week will be on both eurosport stations.
Eurosport will also broadcast games via their streaming option Discovery plus, the eurosport content are on the standard (available at no extra cost to sky q, sky glass, sky stream customers)
A cursory glance at the app for discovery plus, show approximately 10 matches on it now.

When the tennis tournaments were with Amazon Prime it was certainly a lot better than with Sky and Eurosport as one could record various matches and at the moment I have the option of recording a morning slot and then record again an afternoon slot to name just one of the frustrating points. In addition, whilst watching live one cannot pause a match as this function does not work on my system unless it has been recorded beforehand.
Eurosport has the contract for the four grand slams and I never remember it being as poor as it is now as I am sure I could choose which match on different courts I wished to watch regardless of other sports being televised.

Streaming is becoming a more cost effective way for broadcasters like Europsort to show addition matches due tp the cost if renting additional satalite capacity. Again it's not a Sky decision in this case as Sky don't have any say on how Eurosport operate.
And as far as I know it would have been impossible to "record" matches on Amazon prime as there is no functionality for it to happen.

Not in the UK. Sky has British television rights to the US Open until 2028, and Wimbledon remains on the BBC as a protected event under Ofcom regulation.
Eurosport has rights to all four in some other European countries.
Edit: actually only the Wimbledon singles finals are fully protected, but for the All England to choose anyone but the BBC would presumably signal the End Times have arrived...

Thank you I have now found the additional matches on Discovery + and you are correct that Wimbledon is shown on the BBC.
I have to say though Prime was a lot easier to navigate than Sky possibly because, like many, I was a lot more familiar with it than having switched to Sky.

But you have to pay on discovery+

@GD1 Hope you can help me. I have a Sky Sports subscription plus TNT Sports. I view with a SkyQ box. Trying to watch different tennis matches but no red button option on Eurosport. I have
the Discovery + app but although there are lots of matches listed, if I select any of them the screen says I need a TNT Sport subscription but I already have one. Any ideas please?
