    Do tournaments not exist before the finals?!

    Why does Tennis Channel not show the entire tournaments (and I'm not talking about the Masters Series)?  You can't tell me that you have better programming.  There are tournaments in Beijing, Seoul, and Bangkok this week and you're only showing the finals of Beijing -- and that's only the women's final according to your schedule.  What gives?  Instead of showing semis and finals from last year throughout the week, why aren't you showing what's happening now?  You don't even have to do it live.  You can do the match of the day every evening.  Hell, it's better than destination outer Mongolia being on TV for the 9 millionth time.

    This as a major issue that I have with Tennis Channel.  On the women's side, all the exciting matches in Tokyo and Beijing took place prior to the finals.  In those two finals, the loser (Kuznetsova) ended up winning a total of 7 games combined...ouch.   I like that Tennis Channel shows finals from years prior, but that should not make up for only showing the final of the current tournament.  On the women's side, there is not a single tournament that is shown from the first day of play. That only happens with the ATP's Masters Series events... and quite frankly, it's just not fair. Oh, I've also had enough of Tennis Destination and Murphy's Guide.
