Marcus Stead

World Cup of Darts quarter-final line-up: #darts

That's saved British tennis reporters for the next 15 years.

@Sales_Rainmaker I agree. The medical time out was fine under the circumstances.

+@MarcusStead Had Fernandez had a medical time out, I don't think #EmmaRaducanu would have whined and moaned at the official.

Emma Raducanu is not only a world-class tennis player at the age of just 18, she's also modest and well-spoken. She's a real asset to this country. And if she can stay injury-free, this is just the start! #USOpen

@SpeedyDragon46 Yep, he handled it well!

Prime Video presenter (who I don't recognise) to Tim Henman: "Tim, how does this compare to winning a title yourself?" Whisper this quietly to her, but Tim has never won a Grand Slam title! #USOpen

@squireyorke Indeed.

@MarcusStead Tim never even reached a final of a Grand Slam tournament.

✅ Becomes first EVER qualifier to win a Grand Slam title. ✅ The first British woman to win a Grand Slam title since 1977. ✅ The youngest Grand Slam winner since Maria Sharapova in 2004. 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙀𝙢𝙢𝙖 𝙍𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙪 👏

Massive congratulations to Emma Raducanu! What a wonderful Great British success story this is. These are great scenes at Flushing Meadows. To think that this is just the start of the story for her! If she can stay free from injury, the years ahead should be tremendous! #USOpen

The sheer number of survivors, first responders and local residents/workers who have either died or suffered significant health problems from the toxic dust they inhaled on 9/11 and in the period that followed is enormous. They are 9/11 victims too. #911Anniversary

On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we remember the 2,974 people lost their lives that day. However, let us also remember that the death toll continues to rise. 4,343 survivors and first responders have died in the years since. Let us remember them all. #911Anniversary

What a terrific fight that was! Congratulations to Sam Eggington - that was wonderful to watch. I hope we'll be seeing a lot more of Bilel Jkitou in the months and years ahead. He deserves another crack at the big time! #boxing

This is absolutely extraordinary stuff from Emma Raducanu. This tournament is her US Open debut, but she's playing with the confidence and demeanour of a much more experienced, world class player. It's certainly worth staying up late for! #USOpen

Quite simply one of the great voices of sport. The peerless Al Michaels. #NFL

@DavidShield23 A Sky Sports subscription in a pub is considerably higher in cost than a domestic subscription. Over the last decade, many pubs have found the rates they're charged increasingly unaffordable. As for DAZN, I don't know what they charge pubs.

@MarcusStead Big issue for me is lack of pubs showing sports that are on streaming services, I've not seen any of the DAZN boxing in venues that show the Sky coverage

In terms of the scope of coverage of the US Open, it's now way ahead of the days when the BBC provided limited coverage. Amazon Prime is a decent platform for entertainment, and increasingly, live sport. But people who aren't tech-savvy often struggle to find it. #USOpen

We have a major British success story to enjoy with Emma Raducanu, and yet it feels as though it's somewhat 'hidden' from view because the UK TV rights are with Amazon Prime. A lot of people who use Prime for shopping etc probably don't know they can watch it. #USOpen

Good luck to Emma Raducanu in her semi-final later tonight. Her rise over the course of the last few months has been extraordinary. I won't call it a 'meteoric' rise, because, as the late Keith Waterhouse pointed out in 'Waterhouse on Newspaper Style', meteors FALL. #USOpen

@glennerboy A war crimes trial would be better-fitting.

@MarcusStead Yep he was one of the pioneers for this bloody battle. He should politely shut the f••k up

Anthony Blair has a nerve. His lies and deceit have led to the deaths of British and allied service personnel, not to mention countless innocent Afghans and Iraqis. We do well not to treat him as some sort of elder statesman and we shouldn't give him the dignitaries of the role.
