Obviously there are many people very frustrated and disappointed by Skys coverage, you just have to look at the number of posts about it and of course it stems back to last years event.
Does anyone know someone in the US who can tell us what level of coverage is available to Americans for the tournament?
And maybe more tellingly they could also let us know what level of coverage they get over there of Wimbledon. As that would be a like for like comparison for what is available for overseas viewers of another countries grand slam. Are we being short changed or is what we are being offered just what everyone else gets elsewhere.

Worth noting that the potential US television market for any particular event is of course hugely bigger than in the UK simply because of the five times population size difference.

@TimmyBGoodThanks, that was useful to read over. If i have picked this up correctly, that doesnt actually make any reference to full match replays, simply all courts and matches streamed live?

Every match played so far is available to stream on-demand, in full, on ESPN+ or the ESPN app.

Have you not been watching the coverage in recent years from Eurosport and Amazon prime? Every match immediately available for full replay and on demand content. Sky and Now TV are probably the worst and most expensive boradcaster of a tennis frand slam anywhere in the first world.
They keep reducing the number of full matches available on catch up. Absolutely disgraceful and pthetic company who is leeching money through extortion for substandard coverage.

I grew up in the US and my family still lives there. When I was a kid in the 80s we had 'breakfast at Wimbledon and it was a highlight of our summer break for me. According to my mother, who has a fancy cable package but doesn't understand stand streaming and additional feeds, she can watch everything she needs/wants to see. During the US Open, she can access multiple courts and has a better understanding than I would expect a casual 71-year-old tennis viewer from Alabama to have. From what she communicates I would assume that if she could actually utilise Peacock and streaming feeds she has much better coverage than we have

Has anyone watched the highlights? Really poor and you have no idea of what tensions were in the match, as they are so short. Also, this pm I've watched the Dan Evans highlights and then tried to watch the Jack Draper game. Evans match ok but the Draper highlights were ridiculous- speeded up, slowed down, jumping all over the place, disjointed commentary v pictures, really weird. Surely highlights are reviewed before they are published? By the way I stream Tennis TV and have never had these problems.
p.s. I won't mention the fact there are no full match replays as repetition eventually becomes tedious!
