Tennis coverage problems

2

Like many of my tennis fan friends, I am very disappointed to see Tennis Channel becoming the primary tennis station for upcoming tournaments. The reason we all will deeply miss ESPNs coverage? Though TC has some some good commentators, your choice of what to cover is awful. The primary problem is that ESPN (and even NBC) always moved around the courts to show matches at critical points. TC on the other hand may show a replay of a match-deciding point no drama, no buildup to the deciding point. Why? Because you are trying to force viewers to buy TC Plus. I must remind TC that the reason to cover sports is to Cover Sports, not to be constantly trying to sell your premium package to the detriment of the viewer. TC will continue showing their primary match when the score is 6-1 3-0, while at the same time another match between highly-ranked players is at 5-5 in the deciding set. But they will certainly remind you that you can pay more and watch it (coverage of key moments would have been free with ESPN and any self-respecting sports network). A secondary issue: You almost never cover the players comments at the end of the final, which is sometimes very charming and emotional. Instead, we get to listen to the commentators blather on about things we know. At the end of the Nadal-Tsitsipas match, TC covered the opera singing but not the players comments. Weird. TC does not need to change much to be a respected network for tennis. Will you, or will you continue to place more importance on pushing the viewer to pay for TC+?
