BBC One’s Wimbledon 2019 coverage was interrupted by a technical fault for a short time this afternoon.

At 2.09pm, the action came to halt when the video/audio froze. BBC One Presentation interjected after 32 seconds, with an apology graphic and a verbal apology from announcer, Kate Walsh. Live coverage was resumed 38 seconds later.

Here’s a clip of the breakdown (courtesy of Darren Page):
