Yesterday as BBC Two's Eastbourne coverage came on air at 1pm, Billy Harris was just going into a deciding set of his quarter final, and to my surprise they showed the rest of the match to its conclusion, followed by the two women's quarter finals on Centre Court.

Today as they came on air, the final game of the first WTA semi-final was in play so they showed that, and then the second one in full. They then showed the first ATP semi-final featuring Billy Harris in full, extending the BBC Two coverage window to 18:30. They they are now showing the second ATP semi-final on the red button and iPlayer (world feed graphics and commentary rather than their own). In past years they have shown extended highlights of the first WTA semi-final as they could fit in after showing the second live,

Previously the BBC haven't shown ATP matches from Eastbourne so they must have struck a last minute deal with the LTA. Hopefully this means the ATP final will also be shown, on iPlayer at least, after the WTA final on BBC One tomorrow.
