So ESPN2 goes on the air at 9am (I'm in L.A.) with French Open coverage.
In doing so they make Tennis Channel sign off mid-day in Paris.
So what does ESPN2 show us? The Serena match that ended HOURS AGO.
Ok, I get that. But if you're gonna do that then why oh why oh why oh why -
CAN'T THEY JUST LET THE TENNIS CHANNEL KEEP GOING????
There are great matches being played RIGHT NOW.
Yes stupid people at ESPN2 I would like to see Tsonga/De Bakker.
ESPN SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS.
Ditto that. I've been furious for over an hour now, and I've been relying on the Tennis Channel's live stream since early this a.m. I just fail to understand why they've shown live tennis throughout the rainy days, but now they're airing recorded ROUTS rather than anything live and/or competitive. I loathe this crap.

I feel you pain Andria. This is complete CRAP. The disrepect ESPN continues to thrust upon tennis fans is downright annoying. Just let the TC continue - it's that simple. They's be showing us matches they would never show anyway.

God forbid we don't see every second of a Williams sister match (live & recorded just in case you missed it the first time) while numerous great men's matches are live. It's laughable how bad the tennis coverge is.

Aug 15 - Final of the Rogers Cup. ESPN2 is supposed to go on at 3 PM, LIVE. ONly problem is the match starts at 1:30 PM. Can anyone explain this ridiculously stupid and outrageous planning ? I would prefer ESPN completely avoided Tennis. Then I know what to live with.
