Default Streaming tennis online, cutting cable cord

Anyone stream tennis online, other than ESPN3? The reason why I say other than ESPN 3 is, I currently use Direct TV and CenturyLink for my broadband. I'll gladly switch to comcast if I can access ESPN3 with just a broadband subscription.

Has anyone used Tennistv.com, site seems like it's in partner ship with the ATP and WTA tour. Quality of live feed? I've seen a few other pay streaming sites, but they seem shady to me. I've found some free sites that have low quality video.

Anyone know of any good ideas?

Thanks for the help,

I called comcast and in my area, I need to have tv and internet through them for ESPN3. That kind of defeats the purpose of cutting the cord.

I cut the cord at the end of this season. I was with Directv but it was costing me about $200 a month. I switched to a Roku box and stream netflix, amazon prime, and hulu plus.
As far as streaming live tennis, I usually go to Live Score Hunter. It's free and not bad, sometimes it's crap but I think that's because sometimes my connection is terrible.

Not where I live, it's Comcast or Centurylink for broadband.

I've been looking at the Roku box or Apple TV. I DVR the shows I watch and watch a few hours here and there on my weekend, so using Hulu Plus or Amazon Prime won't be much different for me. I haven't really looked into Amazon Prime yet, anything it does better than Hulu, or does it just have different content? I've come across live scorehunter a few times. Today, I found stream2watch and that seems cool. I only watched an NFL game that was out of my market area, Haven't seen a tennis match on it yet. But the quality of the stream was not bad.
