Maybe the women can play best of five and find themselves in the same situation. ---

That would go down a treat with the thousands of ticket holders who have paid a fortune for tickets plus, for many, accommodation and airfares. The organisers weren’t even prepared to move the start time of the final so that it wasn’t directly up against the World Cup final which England were a chance of featuring in. You’re talking about one of the biggest sporting events in the world, not a hit and giggle at the local tennis club on a Sunday arvo. Delays are nothing new. ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > Last night’s Wimbledon coverage went way overtime thanks to another tennis epic involving John Isner, who played the longest tennis match in history against Nicolas Mahut at the same tournament in 2010. This time he lost the first semi final to Kevin Anderson 26-24 in the fifth set, after 6.5 hours. It pushed back the start of the second semi final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, so much so the telecast had to move back to 7TWO in the east coast at 7am AEST this morning so Weekend Sunrise could start on time. The Djokovic-Nadal clash was eventually suspended at 8am AEST (11pm in London) due to the local curfew, and will resume at 10pm AEST tonight before the ladies’ singles final between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber. Does Seven really need Weekend Sunrise to start on time? why not finish the match, then start Sunrise as soon as the match was suspended? ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > tennis fans and writers are not happy. They’re wrong. It makes literally no sense to play the Djokovic/Nadal game after the women’s final, infact if anything putting the women’s game before it would make that final a curtain raiser. Hopefully the rules change after this, Isner in particular is virtually unwatchable and he has no gameplay beyond big serves. ---

Seven are probably happier though, I think more viewers would tune into the completion of a suspended match with Djokovic and Nadal (who played the longest Gland Slam final in history right here 6 years ago) than another Serena Williams blowout ---

Why aren’t Seven showing the start of the resumption of the Novak Rafa match? Their coverage doesn’t start until 10:45 pm on the main channel and the match is scheduled to resume at 10. Surely they could have shown the start on 7two like always instead of Escape To The Country. ---

That’s pure laziness. Some people may miss the conclusion of the match altogether if the match finishes in the 4th set. ---

On 7Two in Melbourne, Escape to the Country was replaced by a 20min Border Security International at 9:30pm. Tennis started 9:53pm. Escape to the Country returned 10:47pm (but the they skipped the 2nd episode). Yes, a mess. With EPG all over the place, at different times, on different channels, in different markets. NB/ Seven never edit their EPG ‘on the go’ unlike Nine after NRL and often Ten. – Are the notifications through the 7Plus/7Live/7CommGames/7Tennis active or defunct apps scheduled? Because one just came through saying “Ladies Final starts now” (when if that was sent live, they’d know that’s not the case). ---

Should have put this men’s match on an outside court rather than delaying the Women’s final. Though these two wouldn’t have enjoyed it if they had. ![Screenshot_20180715-003503](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/c/1c2afdf044543e2e8a173b7c2ed9f6633b31bc08.jpg) ---

Wimbledon ratings might be affected, because of Seven’s schedule balls-up in every market, they knew 18 hours ago that Djokovic and Nadal would be finishing off their match! And in Perth, the wrong information was showing on the wrong channels (7mate said “Wimbledon 2018” but was showing “World Series Rugby” and vice-versa on 7Two with some on social media not pleased) > ---
