I'll probably just watch on Wimbledon Live anyway, but I am very confused about TV coverage tomorrow. Fed-Safin are up first, but I saw a commercial on ESPN2 saying they'll be covering Nadal's match starting at 7 am ET. What the??

If ESPN2 is broadcasting live like the TV listings say, they have to do Fed-Safin don't they? Or will they just cover the Williams' doubles match and then air junk until it's time for NBC to play their tape-delayed coverage of Fed-Safin?

In the past there have been instances where ESPN2 did not have rights to the first match. In that event, they usually talk the whole time and show replays, reminding you to check the scores online or wait for NBC, until their semifinal takes the court.

Which is most likely what will happen tomorrow.
