@BBC just thought I’d let you know I’ve tried to watch the Djokovic game on iplayer and it is not working at all. Very disappointing, gets about ten minutes in and just freezes up and starts again won’t play anything. Really wanted to watch too 🙃 gives error code @BBCiPlayer

@Wasntwouldnt @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Ah. Really enjoying it but know I’m going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere in a tent for the men’s final (which I live for, usually), so commitment issues abound.

George (@GeorgeMihic) reported
You have the same game on twice on both of your iplayer red button Wimbledon games. The Djoković game isn’t available on the “match choice” as it’s showing the Sinner game. Could you please fix this? @BBCiPlayer @BBCSport

@BBCSport there is no Djokovic match in @BBCiPlayer at the moment. The Sinner match is on both iPlayer channels. Please fix this

@BBCSport Can you please fix your @BBCiPlayer as I can't watch Djokovic as it just puts the Sinner match on when I select the Djokovic match. 🤷

@Wimbledon @BBCiPlayer Help. I wanted to see the Djokovic quarter finale. You are broadcasting Sinner on iplayer rather than Djokovic. Sinner also on BBC2. Please sort urgently
