SF doesn't analyze/download tennis matches from NOW TV (Italy)

Can anyone here explain why SF does not analyze and does not allow tennis matches in NOW TV’s catalog to be downloaded? There are programs that are analyzed and can be downloaded, while matches are not analyzed and therefore cannot be downloaded.

For example, you can download this https://www.nowtv.it/watch/asset/sinner-il-maestro-atp-finals-2025/R_592057_HD
but you cannot download this https://www.nowtv.it/watch/playback/vod/R_585341_HD/R_585341_HD (or any other match).

It almost seems that everything produced by SKY (NOW) can be downloaded, while tennis matches cannot.

When I try to copy the link from a browser, SF accepts it, but when I try to download, this window appears

After >600 Tasks from DiscoveryPlus, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix,
OnlyFans, RTL+, Tubi, Youtube Plus and some RaiPlay DLs ..
.. I actually found nowtv in log - now I need a break.

=> Before attaching a log, please delete or rename it and try the affected title once

OnVodSignature - RequestVod successful, wait for OnVod callback [Critical]: [RFC.nowtvV2] OnVod - HTTP error: 403 "" [Critical]: [RFC.nowtvV2] OnVod - Request failed

Because I can’t test without account the question is:
Do other sporting titles work? (exist other then tennis?)

There are problems with (Sport) Events for many providers, because
they where handled different. For some, it only works 1-2 days later.

I tried other sport events like tennis matches, and no, they dont work either.

Ah, anyway… for a strange reason, I could dl Wimbledon final https://www.nowtv.it/watch/playback/vod/R_565104/R_565104_HD

Well, I found the way to download those matches…

I search for a tournament, for example Wimbledon. I enter the Wimbledon collection, and SF starts analyzing the various matches inside it and gives me the usual list to download them. On that collection page, NOW gives me a list of other collections with other tennis tournaments. I click on one of them, and SF analyzes it and lets me download the content. So, I can download the matches this way, NOT searching for and going to a specific match.
