BBC viewers were up in arms just minutes into the Wimbledon coverage as they issued the same complaint.
The excitement of the 2025 Championships at the All England Club was palpable as fans tuned in to watch top tennis talent vie for the prestigious title.
However, BBC's broadcast came under fire on social media after coverage of Novak Djokovic's thrilling second-round match against Dan Evans suffered a technical mishap.

Disgruntled spectators took to Twitter, voicing their frustration and discontent with the gaffe that interrupted their live viewing experience.
Tennis enthusiasts were stunned when the broadcast dropped and instead showed an empty studio chair alongside a coffee cup, with oblivious visitors in the background and the match commentary ongoing.
An exasperated viewer blasted through their Tweet: "Nice coverage of Wimbledon, mid game the camera switches to a man in an orange hat missing all the action. The BBC are a f*****g joke. #Wimbledon2025 #Wimbledon #BBC."
Another perplexed fan asked: "Why are we watching everyone sat on Henman Hill instead of EvansvDjokovic?? #wimbledon #bbc," reports the Express.
In dismay, a third lamented: "Cameras down, and the commentators don't even know ffs. The BBC have the audacity to demand people pay a TV licence for this. #Wimbledon2025 #Wimbledon."
Echoing the sentiments, another viewer demanded: "Eh #bbc can you switch the camera to the game and not just the crowd? Wtf #Wimbledon."
A fifth lamented: "Why are BBC 1 and 2 showing Henman Hill and not the matches? #Wimbledon.

"Would be nice if the BBC could actually show us the match? #wimbledon."
Another frustrated viewer declared it a "Waste of the licence fee!".
As Henman Hill was filled with fans watching on the big screen, home viewers were vexed by the lack of match feed.
There was a delay before those at home could once again experience the excitement of the live action.
On court, Djokovic showcased his formidable skill last Thursday, effortlessly defeating Evans and sailing through to Wimbledon's third round.
Sweeping the match with 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 victories, the 38-year-old is fiercely advancing towards an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam triumph.
