Cheesy frames in FO coverage!

What was up with all the fancy frames and multi-view shots during the French open?

Holy cheesy. It didn’t happen very often, but when it did it was really jarring. Like a three-pane view of serve with the server, the returner, and one of the coaches shown. Or showing a fuzzy “frame” around the server as he was serving.

It sounded like ESPN was just taking the feed from French TV so it was their responsibility, but it was really cheesy looking.

That's exactly what was happening. It was the French TV feed. I remember P-mac commenting on this earlier in the week when they were showing some hot girl in the audience while a point was being played in the match.
