Goanjock Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I can't believe how relaxed and in control Edmund looks so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Id swear im getting skin cancer just watching this on tv. It looks utterly scorchio out there. Hope edmund has loaded up on the factor 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 2 hours ago, jmothecat said: I've noticed that Eurosport will be getting the French open rights soon too, as well as the Winter Olympics from 2018 and summer olympics from 2024. I had thought things like the Olympics had to be free to air. Got to be a bad thing for UK sport for it to go to a relatively obscure channel. Their Tv player gets terrible reviews so not sure whether to take out a Eurosport subscription or not. That alongside paying for the BT and Sky Sports apps will get expensive. I know this isn't particularly about the Open but the Olympics are protected - the BBC will still have live rights to the Olympics but it will be for fewer hours and won't include the multiple live streams online or on the red button. Europsport will have the pay TV rights and will have the whole of the Olympics on their channel and website. I think they've said they'll also have some events (presumably the same ones on the BBC to get people to watch their coverage rather than the beeb's) free to air too. The deal with the BBC allowed Eurosport to show the Olympics this year as they sub contracted rights from the BBC in return for the BBC sub contracting rights from Europsport from 2022* onwards. *possibly 2024, I can't remember.

dogmc Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Outstanding tennis from Edmund. He was very good in Davis cup final but in that short space of time he has improved hugely. Looks stronger fitter and hes got some composure for a 21yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Biggest win of his career so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yeah I would say so, he beat Simon at Queens but he wasn't ranked as high as Gasquet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Biggest win of his career so far? Certainly in the basic statistic of it being the highest ranked player he has ever beaten, but the manner in which he did it too must make it close to his best performance never mind result. Didn't look flustered at any point, even when he went the break down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just saw that result, excellent stuff. Sounds like he was well worth it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Tiafoe is a set and a break up on Isner, Kyle's draw could open right up. The higher ranked Lacko retired from his First Round match, so Edmund's next opponent will be Ernesto Escobedo who received a wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Isner is a one dimensional cart horse. Big serve, followed up with a forehand. A pound land Andy Roddick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
