Why is ESPN cutting back on tennis so much?

The Deuce plans on covering Celebrity Ballroom Dancing, along with Aussie Rules Football again. Tennis lost the punt, eh? Wait till they pick up curling and Lacrosse next fall.

Thought Hot Sauce was in the And-1 b-ball series. Actually saw those guys play LIVE, just insane jumping out of the gym. Joke about curling but its on like weekly on CBC.

Ok, since I have posted a number of times railing The Tennis Channel, I'd like to pay them a compliment.

I watched the first full day Indian Wells coverage, and it was awesome. They used the world feed and just kept showing match after match. I think I caught pieces of at least 5 or 6 matches and they showed most in their entirety. I couldn't believe they picked up so many hours, I think I had my TV on in the background from about 1pm to 11pm eastern. I know they went over their allotted coverage to finish the Roddick match. I hope they continue throughout the early rounds of the tournaments.

This is what I bought TTC for, and I'm glad they are finally broadcasting the right stuff. So TTC, good job.

go TTC

Craig... RIGHT ON!

This is how tennis was meant to be shown.
Cover the tournament from the opening rounds.
Show FULL matches... instead of jumping around all over.
Don't switch to basketball if there is still a match in progress.

Just show us TENNIS MATCHES!
The Tennis Channel has been frustrating and disappointing, but they
seem to be learning and improving. The PLO has been more than worth
my subscription this month... if only they covered Dubai this year and more tournaments using a world feed.

But I am thrilled with TTC coverage so far... will be sad to have to switch to ESPN.

What about the Haas/Gonzalez match? It doesn't look like it's going to be shown and it's a match up between two of the hottest players on tour right now.

After paying The Tennis Channel the compliments of their great world feed, I'd like to contrast how crap the redneck ESPN2 coverage is. I can't express how much better the ATP world feed commentators are than the ESPN2 guys--SAVE DARREN CAHILL. I'm sorry, but listening the Cliffy and Patrick McEnroe spew unintelligent garbage after listening to hours of good commentators on The Tennis Channel was quite a stark contrast. I almost felt like I was watching WWF or NASCAR listening to PMac. They just don't have any insightful comments at all. And they talk after every single point. I just kept wanting them to shut up. When watching TTC coverage, I felt like I was watching the match, with an intelligent birdie in my ear making a few poignant comments when necessary. When watching ESPN2, I feel like I just got bashed over the head with PMac. He does not shut up--ever. I felt like I was listening to him talk over a tennis match going on in the background. Hopefully we'll get more hours of the world feed and less of ESPN2 in the future. Or maybe they'll just let Cahill do the matches by himself. Kudos to the ATP world feed & TTC.
