Imagine if NK treated real matches like he treats the Laver Cup

....................The deal will make Amazon Prime Video the home for practically all top-flight men’s tennis other than the four grand slam tournaments – including the end of year ATP World Tour finals at the O2 Arena in London.

Amazon has aced Sky, whose five-year contract ends in 2018, with a bid thought to be worth as much as £10m a year. Sky, which is understood to have paid about £8m a year for its current deal, is not thought to have matched the amount it bid last time to try and secure the new deal.

The contract covers the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and Masters 500 events from around the world, including tournaments in Monte Carlo, Madrid, Paris, Miami, Indian Wells and Shanghai.

Well I'm in the US and ESPN and tennis channel still rule the roost. Amazon prime is very popular, but far, far from taking over tennis coverage. Personally I use tennis tv for most everything outside of the slams including most of the ATP 250s and 500s (tennis channel has a few American events which are minor save the resurgent Citi Open in DC.)

I was using Eurosport for some events in Australia and UK, but that has gone away. I'm not sure I can spoof Amazon prime like I'm in the UK, but no need for now.

Petch is being criminally underused here. If he's not in the commentary booth, I expect him to be on screen for the full time between sets. But no, he just gets to stand next to Patrick McEnroe for a minute. I've a right mind to formally complain to Amazon about this
I'm in US and never really heard Petch before; he's amazing.:eek: Probably has call on Fed v Kyrgios.;)
