Looking at the schedules, Sky Sports Action isn't joining the US Open until 19:00. They should probably think about moving the Super League and boxing undercard to Sky Sports Mix?
Sadly they didn't do that (or put the tennis early on Mix either).
After Tuesday was rather ropey, I think the coverage has been more organised and operating well the rest of the week. I still think Sky should have employed more of their own lead commentators (with Jonathan Overend doing multiple matches per day and the vast majority of action with world feed comms) but overall the coverage is working well. They have stayed with matches (on SS Action especially) until their conclusion instead of leaving for the night session at dead on midnight like they did in the first few days, which is the correct decision.
A return today for Annabel Croft to the Sky Sports fold, the first person I think to appear in the former Sky Sports Tennis era and this week. I saw she appeared in the build-up and has just joined Jonathan Overend on commentary. Around half an hour ago (after Evans v. Alcaraz), Emma Paton presented from New York rather than Gigi Salmon from London for the whole section before they joined their next match on SS Tennis.
