Bizarrely the picture of Discovery+ is not as smooth as Amazon Prime!?
What the?

It's full HD, just not quite as fluid.
A bit like streaming used to be many years ago..

Disappointing having paid extra for it.

Just tried the Amazon app and streaming via Chromecast - even worse!
Eurosport app and Chromecast was perfect, as is TennisTV and Chromecast.

How have they managed to mess it up?

I’ve found Chromecast to be quite inferior to Apple TV, but I don’t know if that would work with your configuration.

Jack Sock is all over the place in this match tiebreak against Ruud.

EDIT: Ruud wins. Team Europe gets the first win of the tournament.

Tried it, was worse.
Phone and TennisTV/ Chromecast is perfect.
I've tweeted and emailed Amazon support..
Even watch a bit of live Rinderknech to prove it again!

Amateur hour though as they had Jim Courier and Babs on talking away, but no sound.
Something broken between Eurosport and Amazon / Disco+

No commentary available for me.
Some want to turn the commentators off, some want them on Switchable would be best of both worlds.

Tim Henman just came online.
Commentators are now with me.

Not sure how long for though..
Gone quiet again

He's actually only there as courtside commentator! The main commentators are not patched (or is it Petch'ed) in yet.
What a joke!

Norrie looking at Björn Borg in the break
I couldn't work out if was "who is this guy?, or what a legend" look.
The latter I suspect.

Long way to go but looks to be another - team world gets handed it's arse, Laver cup

Any prediction about Murray/de Minaur? It’s hard to know, IMO, because it’s too tricky to figure out what his body is going to allow him to do.

Really fun match, so far.

It is! It’s been much more exciting than I thought it would be. At first it seemed as if the Aussie was going to run away with it, but now Murray is a few points from grabbing the first set.

So Roger/Rafa won’t be for another hour or so?

I think if they wrap this thing up early this weekend. Roger / Rafa should play Novak /Andy for the final farewell..I think that's what Roger really wants and what the tennis gods would approve for the fans .

Does Bjorn says anything or offer coaching..
? I just asking because I just haven't recall him saying too much.
