Yes, Amazon had their main feed but generally you'd go straight to the match of your choice. The switch to Sky means the loss of those matches on demand too.
Aren’t the matches on sky sports active and the sky sports app? I’ve not tried it on a sky q box yet though, also is it in UHD HDR?

Multi-court coverage is but seems to be a faff to get to.
On demand coverage on NOW is pretty much non-existant. There are 30+ classic matches available but only 2 matches from this years tournament.

Just go to the sports homepage and you see the choices there…tbh very similar to Amazon which I found very clunky. The Sky interface for me is much clearer and easier to navigate.

Seems to vary by device. I only checked my mobile app but it's natural to assume they'd be consistency across the board.

Something to keep an eye on but hopefully won't amount to much. John McEnroe has withdrawn from covering the US Open for ESPN after testing positive for COVID. There are anecdotal reports of a number of players, coaches and journalists going around Flushing Meadows with cold-like symptoms. Hopefully this won't become a story/issue going forward.
Although I'm sure it will be nice for ESPN viewers to have a respite from John's non-stop commentary, hopefully he will have a speedy recovery.

Having spoken to someone I know who works at Sky Sports they acknowledge they could have done a bit better yesterday and in hindsight they would have started Cam Norrie's match on their main channel and moved it across to Action before Murray's. Remember it's only day 2. Apparently they didn't have commentary for Jack Draper's match ready until after it had already started (which sounds like poor planning to me).

I thought the sky interactive channels are all SD but I tried a match and it was in HD, is it opening an internet stream instead?
