<\/p>\nThe BBC was criticised by viewers on social media after their coverage of Novak Djokovic’s second-round Wimbledon match against Dan Evans went down midway through the match.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Djokovic took the lead against Evans by winning the first set 6-3 in their Wimbledon showdown with the Serbian in incredible form.<\/p>\n
However, tennis fans were left shocked after the live broadcast inexplicably cut to a shot of what appeared to a studio with an empty chair and a coffee cup.<\/p>\n
Fans could be seen milling about in the background as the live shot continued while the match audio could still be heard.<\/p>\n

After a while, another camera shot – but not a return to the Djokovic and Evans clash going on.<\/p>\n
Instead, it showed Henman Hill with fans sat on watching the match on a big screen, but still no available feed of the game.<\/p>\n
This continued for some time as Djokovic carried on his fine form against Evans as he took the second set.<\/p>\n
But BBC viewers were unable to watch the action for several minutes before finally coverage resumed.<\/p>\n
However, watchers were furious with the national broadcaster and let loose on social media.<\/p>\n
One tennis fan wrote on X: “God alive, this years coverage is more of a shambles, let\u2019s watch the crowd & then blue screen instead of Djokovic match.”<\/p>\n
Another posted: “BBC don\u2019t show me the cloud and crowds show me the Djokovic match ffs.”<\/p>\n
A third said: “The coverage has been awful, they put the same match on yesterday on both channels missing 3 games.”<\/p>\n
While this viewer politely put: “Can you please put the feed for the Djokovic game back on?”<\/p>\n

The first interruption saw an empty studio with a cup on the desk with viewers baffled<\/p>\n

And another said: “Why are we watching crowds instead of Djokovic? Please fix!”<\/p>\n
As is often customary for broadcasters, apologies are usually sent out to viewers for the trouble caused and one was eventually sent out at the end of the match.<\/p>\n
