Summary of complaint
Weâve received complaints from some people who were unhappy that we didnât broadcast the menâs 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 BBC One, we broadcast the gymnastics womenâs bars final that featured GBâs Becky Downie; the shooting final, where Amber Rutter won silver, and the gymnastics menâs vault final, where Harry Hepworth won bronze. On BBC iPlayer, we broadcast the shooting final, and when this switched to BBC One, we showed the final round of the menâs golf, where Tommy Fleetwood was on his way to winning silver.
The end of the tennis final was shown on BBC iPlayer once those British medal moments had concluded.
