  1. bettestreep2008 – if you don’t like Seven’s coverage of Wimbledon or any of their other sports offering you are welcome to get FOX Sports. I for one do not have a problem with Sevens Sports coverage as long as its Live around the nation especially in this day and age no excuse not to be Live around the nation considering how many channels they have.

  2. Craig – I believe Seven will be showing some matches on their SevenMate station which I think is HD.

    The only downside of watching sport on Seven is having to listen to the constant crapping about Hewett and Kyrgios. Hewett is appearing for the last time so Seven commentators will milk that for all its worth and according to the promos Seven seriously believes Kyrgios will go all the way this year.

    And if that isn’t enough to make you irritated – viewers will be bombarded with promos and pop up ads during the tennis of their next batch of reality tv shows ie. dancing with the stars and restaurant revolution.

    Groan.
