I am so disappointed with sky sports wish I had never signed up but I have been able to watch Discoveryplus and tennis tv but it's not the same as not all courts are covered. Please come back Prime  you were amazing.

To be fair I thought the coverage on Discovery + was very good. They covered not only the majority of the singles games, there was also mens / ladies / mixed doubles being shown. It was the Sky coverage that was poor in my view and Sky need to take on board feedback such as in this forum from their end users / bill payers!!! If every tournament (ATP & WTA) was on Discovery + and covered in the same level of detail I would be happy to be honest.

If anyone is watching the tennis on sky stream or glass can you tell me if there's any additional matches available under the red button please?

[ChoochSiesta]

No, nothing at all 🙄.

Currently a British doubles team playing in Linz WTA500 yet you are showing a French vs USA men's game....

The pictures coming in from the world feed from Montpellier in France are just awful.

 In case you're not aware you're not talking to Sky but other customers.

@markhib to be honest I can't afford Sky Sports and until they have a decent service and appropriate price point I cant see myself signing up.

I am a huge fan and I am gutted this is now an inaccessible service for me.

Amazon was prepared to lose money, though, on an experiment in tennis coverage (just like it does on the rest of Prime Video) because any such loss tends to be very nicely covered by a reasonably sizeable sideline in global warehousing and data centre operation.  This is never likely to be the case with Sky.

@TimmyBGood So why are Sky doing this? To get more people to subscribe to Sky Sports?

Tennis is not as popular as some of their other sports so don't understand why they have bothered

The Discovery service is 6.99 or 7.99 a month which I am happy to pay for the 2 Grand Slams they cover.

No oe  here would know why Sky are doing this, all answers would simply be supesition.

You may draw your own conclusions from them getting the Tennis rights.

Presumably, yes, but it's going to have to be on a financially sustainable basis.

@markhib To be honest - Prime was able to show multiple courts and multiple tournaments simultaneously - how long will it take Sky to offer that level of service? 

They may have to do a deal with Discovery very quickly..

Why?

Where is the dedicated tennis channel we were promised. You have two channels showing tennis both of these have the same match showing. There does not seem to be any way of choosing another court. On Prime there were several tournaments showing and the choice of at least 8 courts. You need to improve rapidly.

I'm afraid you're just directing your disappointment at other customers here. This is a customer based forum where customers try to help other customers. See the post from staff currently showing as the answer as the latest update.
