Wimbledon fans rage as BBC One show DELAYED coverage of Carlos Alcaraz vs Andrey Rublev match
WIMBLEDON fans were left raging after BBC One showed delayed coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's win over Andrey Rublev. The stars 2 Fans fumed as BBC One showed delayed coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's latest win Credit: PA And all eyes were on Centre Court as two of tennis' top stars, including defending champ, It was the Spaniard who secured victory, coming back from a set down to win the next three and book his place in the quarters. However, there was controversy early on as the game was being broadcast live on BBC One. Fans were left furious when the game on iPlayer, which was up to speed, showed the game to be midway through the second set. READ MORE IN TENNIS But on BBC One, terrestrial viewers were instead left to watch the full tie-break from the FIRST set. That moment of action had long gone past on the court. And supporters flocked online to demand why BBC One was lagging behind the iPlayer. One said: 'I don't get the logic. Coverage has been terrible this year.' Most read in Sport BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Another declared: 'Genuinely can't remember the last time their coverage was this messy.' One noted: 'Wtf are BBC doing not showing Alcaraz live?' Carlos Alcaraz makes it through to Wimbledon second week then throws down huge challenge to Sir Andy Murray 2 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - Another added: 'The tie break happened 20 minutes ago…' It later transpired that BBC One had been showing the fifth set of Cameron Norrie's match when Alcaraz's tie break happened, with the broadcaster choosing to show it behind time instead of just going live. Alcaraz had beaten Fabio Fognini, Oliver Tarvet and Jan-Lennard Struff on his path to Sunday's match. As for Rublev, he had beaten Laslo Djere, Lloyd Harris and Adrian Mannarino ahead of today's clash. But it was Alcaraz who progressed to the next round 7-6 3-6 4-6 4-6.

Everything I dreamed of – Lando Norris so emotional after British Grand Prix win
An emotional Lando Norris said he was in dreamland after winning the British Grand Prix for the first time. Norris followed in the footsteps of Sir Stirling Moss, James Hunt, Sir Jackie Stewart and Lewis Hamilton as he became the 12th British driver to triumph at his home race. The 25-year-old capitalised on Oscar Piastri's 10-second penalty at a wet Silverstone to take his fourth win of the season to reduce his rival's lead at the summit of the world standings from 15 points to eight. Norris reacts after a photographer fell on to him while celebrating his win (Bradley Collyer/PA) Norris' celebrations were briefly halted after a photographer fell off a fence in the pit lane and landed on him. McLaren confirmed that Norris was fine but had suffered a small cut to his nose. 'This victory is everything I dreamed of,' said Norris. 'Being on top at your home race is very, very special. 'From a British perspective, I join a long list of pretty incredible winners – most of them are Lewis (Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix a record nine times) – so to join him and continue the reign of the British at Silverstone is amazing. 'Looking up at the fans and seeing them on their feet, your mind just goes pretty blank. The main thing is just don't f*** it up. I was just trying to enjoy the moment. 'But these are moments that none of you guys get to witness. This is only something that I, and very few Brits have achieved. It is a selfish moment, in a way, but so special and incredible because it is such a rare thing to feel and witness. 'For me, it is my best win, maybe not the best way to win, but in terms of what it means to me, winning at home, it is very memorable. Apart from winning a championship, this is as good as it gets.' Lando Norris won at Silverstone for the first time (Andrew Matthews/PA) Norris was just eight when Hamilton won in the wet at Silverstone by more than a minute after a drive for the ages. Hamilton, 40, had to settle for fourth on Sunday after he came up just short in his bid to land a first podium in Ferrari colours. Norris continued: 'Silverstone is where it all started for me – watching Lewis, Jenson (Button), Fernando (Alonso) – and it was that wet race here in 2008 when I began watching Formula One. 'Lewis won and I got that picture of him going round and all the fans are standing up, creating an amazing atmosphere. I dreamed of that for many, many years and today I got to see that through my own eyes and live that moment.' Norris' voice broke as he celebrated his win over the radio. 'There were no tears,' insisted Norris with a smile. 'I tried. But when I get emotional I don't cry, I just smile and it is pure happiness. I wish I could cry because I think it looks better for the pictures!' Norris' championship appeared in tatters after he crashed into the back of Piastri in Montreal last month but he has responded with back-to-back wins for the first time in his career to breathe new life into his title charge. He concluded: 'I have had two good weekends, and of course I want to continue the momentum, but that requires consistency and I need to keep working hard.'

Cam Norrie's fuming Wimbledon rival Nicolas Jarry squares up to him as Brit wins epic to set up potential Alcaraz clash
CAMERON NORRIE struggled into the Wimbledon quarter finals after a four-hour, five-set slogfest that saw his opponent Nicolas Jarry go on a TOPLESS rant to the umpire then square up to Norrie at the end. Norrie, 29, beat towering Chilean qualifier Jarry 6-3 7-6 6-7 6-7 6-3 on Court One in four hours and 27 minutes to remain the only male Brit still in the competition. Advertisement 6 Cameron Norrie beat Nicolas Jarry in five sets Credit: Getty 6 Norrie fell to the turf in celebration after Jarry netted a volley on match point Credit: PA It was the longest match of Norrie's professional career, and just the fifth time he had played in a contest that lasted over four hours, celebrating by lying on the floor with his tongue out. The South African-born player also became just the fourth British man in the Open Era to reach the last eight at Wimbledon on multiple occasions, joining the likes of Andy Murray, Tim Henman and Roger Taylor. Winning his ninth match in ten No1 Court outings, Norrie now has the chance to match his best run at SW19 after reaching the semis in 2022. It was not a convincing display, with Norrie relying on 143-ranked Jarry to constantly make mistakes to avoid his serve being broken. Advertisement READ MORE WIMBLEDON But Jarry appeared to be irate about the time Norrie took between his serves, and let rip at the umpire without his shirt on during a break between the second and third set. At the end of the match, Jarry then squared up to Norrie and carried on complaining before storming off the court. The Chilean moaned to the umpire: 'What is the rule? It is your interpretation, it isn't good. Is it normal to do that when it affects the other player? Do you intervene or do I have to suck it? 'It doesn't matter the reason. It's not intentional but you have to apply the code. He can stop doing it, it is not a nervous tick, it is something he can control. That doesn't make it correct. Advertisement Most read in Sport Exclusive Graphic Warning 'I just have to suck it because he always does it? That's the reason I have to play with something that affects me. It can be changed. 'If there is not a rule then tell me and I cannot do anything about it.' Norrie will not be bothered, but he knows he must up his game if he is to seriously compete for the top gong next weekend. Norrie came into this clash full of confidence, while Jarry was also in fine form off the back of six straight wins. Advertisement Chilean Jarry – standing at 6ft7 – was at a career-high No.16 in the PIF ATP Rankings as recently as May 2024, but struggled over the past 12 months after being diagnosed with vestibular neuritis, an inner ear disorder caused by a viral infection. He is slowly getting back to his best, and proved that in the first set with a run of stunning 130mph aces that Norrie struggled to deal with. The pivotal moment came in the eighth game as Norrie finally broke Jarry's serve to go 5-3 up before sealing the first set. Norrie has lost a Grand Slam match to a player ranked as low as No. 143 Jarry twice before, both at Roland Garros – to No. 273 Elliot Benchetrit in the 1st round in 2019 and to No. 153 Daniel Elahi Galan in the 1st round in 2020. Advertisement He was determined not to let that happen a third time, but Norrie continued to slog his way through the second set, preferring to let Jarry make mistakes rather than take the initiative himself. Midway through the second set, Jarry had 20 winners and 20 unforced errors. Norrie in comparison had just seven winners and five unforced errors. Still, Norrie's cautious approach worked as he prevailed in a tie-break that was gift-wrapped once again by Jarry's sloppiness. Jarry continued to push – his impressive service game forcing Norrie to 5-5 in the decisive third set before edging a 7-6 tie-break win that suggested this would go the distance. Advertisement A carbon-copy fourth set and third successive tie-break saw Jarry push Norrie to his limits again to level the match at 2-2, Norrie this time the one making the mistakes. Norrie finally got some momentum in the fifth, breaking Jarry to go 2-0 up before nicking a gruelling ten-minute third game to take it to 3-0 then serving it out. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
