Andy Murray fans fume as BBC interrupt legend’s potential last ever match to show swimming at Olympics 2024

VIEWERS reckoned the BBC served up a mess in covering what could be Andy Murray’s last-ever match.

Tennis fans complained of interruptions and slated the Beeb for switching to other Olympic events as Murray and Dan Evans contested the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles.

Viewers complained coverage of Murray and Dan Evans’ match was disjointed

The Brits were up against it as USA pairing Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul began well and rarely let up.

But fans were frustrated at the Beeb failing to show all the match on their flagship channels – BBC 1 and 2.

Others moaned that coverage on an iPlayer stream supposedly dedicated to the match also cut off.

The viewing disappointment included seeing Murray and Evans trail 3-0 in the first set… before the Beeb switched to a swimming final and returned with the English duo 4-0 down.

One fan posted: “BBC iPlayer now showing Murray/Evans on iPlayer but why aren’t they showing it on BBC1/2. What’s the point of the licence fee? #BBC #Paris2024 #AndMurray #tennis.”

Another wrote: “Why isn’t the BBC showing the Murray/Evans match live? Instead choosing to show other countries doing their thing in other sports.”
