Why is TC sticking with a blow out (Ivanovic/safarova) when you have a great match on the Court Central (Monfils/Clement)?????? Monfils took the 1st set 7/5 and we didn't get to see even 5min of it???
Who's making these calls???
It is just poor programing all around. Please stop showing the last few points of each set and concentrate in one or two matches. I have not been able to see a good match and have been forced to turn off the volume with the hope that a good match will be shown later. If all I want are the scores, I do not need TC. Please announce a survey of viewers to determine who wins, those who want to know just the scores, or those who want to see a good match. A good question is, how do you know if a match is going to be good? You have knowledgeable experts (not programmers) who should decide, and a back up match.
It'll do no good but I have to agree with TTC coverage complaints. Way too much court jumping, interviews and general programming junk...clearly trying to be slick and fancy when all real tennis fans (isn't that who this channel is for?) just want to watch a complete match. Can't even do it on the evening replays...disgraceful.
WHY do they have all this extranious stuff???? Sticking in interviews that are 4 years old, tours of France or what ever country, I imagine we'll get ad nauseum tours of England, food information, etc. also.I don't see that on ESPN, I don't see that on the Golf Channel, never had it when USA televised tennis. We just saw tennis. It's almost intolerable trying to watch a match with all the interruptions. I was speaking with my coach last week, and said something about TCC and I said something about the terrible coverage, and she said "yes I'm hearing that from a lot of people".
I'm dreading Wimbledon.
Frankly USA back when, had the best coverage.
YES!! YES!! YES!! I think that a better job of covering interesting matches was accomplished during the French Open, BUT do more!! I don't like to watch matches that have an extremely obvious outcome (and, so, are boring!!) especially when there are very interesting contests on other courts. I understand that some courts don't have TV coverage...so I'm not talking about them.
It's funny cause i thought and heard the exact opposite. I felt the live coverage was excellent and the highlight shows very informative. Added a little extra flavor besides the same matches replayed over and over. Just so you know, the reason you saw so many interviews and condensed matches in the evening is because you were watching a highlight show!!! You obviously were not watching the live coverage in the morning because it was excellent. I keep reading these posts about bad coverage when you're watching the darn highlight show with interviews and features instead of the live coverage. You say the golf channel doesnt do this. Well actually they do. You know that Masters show they have following play each day? What do they air? Highlights, features and interviews! You must not understand the difference between the two based on the level of your grammar. Yikes!
