Olympics 2024, men鈥檚 tennis final, 4 August 2024

Summary of complaint

We鈥檝e received complaints from some people who were unhappy that we didn鈥檛 broadcast the men鈥檚 tennis final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in full.


Our response

While we recognise this match was of great interest to sections of our audience, we instead moved our coverage away to follow strong medal chances for Team GB athletes, which were also of great interest to our predominantly UK based audience.

On 麻豆社 One, we broadcast the gymnastics women鈥檚 bars final that featured GB鈥檚 Becky Downie; the shooting final, where Amber Rutter won silver, and the gymnastics men鈥檚 vault final, where Harry Hepworth won bronze. On 麻豆社 iPlayer, we broadcast the shooting final, and when this switched to 麻豆社 One, we showed the final round of the men鈥檚 golf, where Tommy Fleetwood was on his way to winning silver.

The end of the tennis final was shown on 麻豆社 iPlayer once those British medal moments had concluded.
