No worries From memory there was a lot of rain so while the men's wheelchair singles final took place on court 3 as planned, they had to move the women's to a court with a roof.

BBC2 prioritising the Reid and Hewett Doubles over the Ladies Doubles tonight too, and have pushed back Today at Wimbledon for it too.

However I’m coming to the view that the BBC might be better off cancelling Today at Wimbledon next year as it’s failed to air or aired late so many times this year. They could subsume end of day highlights and analysis into the main programme where time allows especially if Clare Balding does take over as the main presenter.

Not sure why they rushed to get off air at 22:15 tonight when they could have gone through to 22:30.

I assumed something like this would happen as on the Lunchtime Look North, Keeley said that she’d be back with Look North “after the tennis” rather than a specific time
Just seen the Wimbledon world feed titles it’s as posted earlier but says world feed at the end of it, very strange I wonder which broadcaster would show it like this ?
Sue Therle as usual out of vision.

What we will miss going forward is those pre match bits with Sue Barker where she effortlessly chats with all the ex players, just as if it was some old friends catching up over a coffee rather than a presenter doing an interview.

They can be great, but they can also sometimes forget what the point of them is. I think some of the pundits may have to raise their game with Clare next year.

Cutting to trailers is still very annoying, especially in a Kyrgios match when what happens between games can be as eventful as what happens during them

Forgive me as I have no idea about Wimbledon, but how are the BBC allowed to show sponsored graphics such as “Wimbledon game facts” sponsored by American Express and “Rolex check”?

The same reason they're allowed to show the hoardings at football matches or refer to the Emirates FA Cup - because they're sponsorship deals arranged by Wimbledon themselves and the Beeb don't profit from them in anyway. 
What a lovely VT tribute to Sue that's just gone out on BBC One, with a whole host of famous faces
Clare Balding has materialised in person in the last few minutes, to join Sue and the guests out on the balcony studio
