Fans criticize Wimbledon qualifying coverage: Only one match streamed

Fans criticized the broadcasts of the Wimbledon qualifiers, as only one match was streamed by the services. In the United States, ESPN's streaming service is only airing one match from the qualifiers, unlike other Grand Slams where all courts are accessible.

This situation is not unique to the United States. In Latin America, where ESPN also holds the television rights through its platform Star+, the qualifiers cannot be viewed except for one court chosen by the company.

Wimbledon qualifying got underway on Monday at the All England Club with first round matches. The matches will be played between 24 and 27 June and will define the 16 places in the men's and women's singles main draw.

“Wimbledon is by far the worst slam for watching Qualifying Here in the US, ESPN has it on their streaming service, which is great, it's a feed from UK TV, but they only give you only ONE court. The other 3 slams give you the option to choose the court.”
