The only day coverage begins ahead of play though. It's 11am tomorrow so probably live coverage till about 20 past.
And still not made that simple tweak to the lunchtime schedule to start Centre coverage on BBC1. Even a 1.30 start would be sufficient now as it takes 10 minutes or so to get through the warm up.

Also the basis of the live score graphic in the update segments, a graphic which is still completely different to the rest of the BBC graphics.

The iPlayer live streams have stopped working for me. This on multiple devices and multiple browsers so I don't think the problem is exclusively on my end.
Plus, it looks like the court live streams are only available on iPlayer and not on the BBC Sport website. The link on the BBC Sport app homepage for the court live streams redirects to the iPlayer app.

Very poor form - not something they usually have issues with. Probably not related but makes you wonder if the now closed additional linear red button streams were keeping traffic more manageable.

Of course they were. The majority of people still use linear channels via numbers than connected TV’s or online apps and websites.

They were broadcasting a test card with a phone number on it for a good 30 minutes earlier as well, wonder if they got many phonecalls.

A bit unfortunate for the BBC to have technical gremlins today of all days, especially when their interface is better than what we have to use at the other three grand slams this year (Discovery+ can be awkward to use and I'm not having the highest hopes for extra streams being easy to use and functioning for Sky Sports at the US Open based on previous outings).
Looks like iPlayer is back working now I think, just in time for the first rain delay of the week.
