So, Simon Reed ended up commentating solo for the entire 3.5 hours of the match.
Really strange for a match of this magnitude to be a solo commentary. I can't imagine this was planned, but presumably Mats Wilander or Tim Henman could join from the Cube when they were ready, or Arvind Parmar, who was on co-commentary for the preceding Mixed doubles final, could have stayed on. Strange.
