It's been getting worst year after year, but this morning, I just couldn't take it anymore. The broadcasting of all the various slams by both american and canadian TV network is so bad that I now much prefer watching WTF/1000/500 than those great tournaments. Not only do I have to put up with the american's obsession with the William sisters or John Isner and his fellow journeymens, but we (canadian's) now have to deal with TSN's new found obsession with Milos Raonic and Genie Bouchard. I can't express how frustrated I was this morning when watching a rather interesting Federer vs Gulbis match, it gets cut all of a sudden to switch over to Milos Raonic vs Marcel Granoller? Just how ridiculous can this get? Same thing happened at the Australian Open earlier this year. It doesn't make sense to me that when tennis greats like Nadal/Federer/Djokovic are playing, they're matches gets interrupted so they can show the local flavor instead of the better matches.
Now that my favorite slam (Wimbledon) will start soon, matches will again get cut short or start 10-15 minutes later so we can have a sit through with Carillo/Evert etc... about the Williams sister or to discuss some statistics that no one cares about. They're needs to be an alternative to watch slams than ESPN/TSN etc...Anyone that's remotely into tennis surely enjoys more the commentary free streaming than this awful broadcast.
So in the end, I would like to raise a middle finger to ESPN and another one to TSN, you managed to **** me off one too many times.
