Why Don't They Sell Tennis Videos on DVD?

I was wondering why they never sell any classic tennis matches on DVD for people to buy? They do this for SuperBowls and other sporting events...why not have a DVD of greatest tennis matches like Borg/McEnroe and the Nadal/Federer matches?

There are also numerous other sites selling "illegal" copies (recorded off TV, then sold), but that would be unethical:wink:

What would be really cool would to get the raw feed minus the announcers...just imagine a match without Ted Robinson spewing his crap during the point or Mary Carillo spouting off her inane garbage. I'd love to have an "announcer mute" button so I could just enjoy the sound of the match...

All the official Wimbledon matches, i.e., the ones sold on TW, are from the original BBC broadcasts so they only have the British commentators and they don't talk very much and never during the points when the ball is in play. They also stay on during the changeovers so you get to see what the players on doing.

Some of the match VODS from the 2007 Wimbledon had raw feeds minus announcers, and a few of them these were Centre Court high profile matches.

I downloaded the matches and was surprised to hear no commentary even when the match started. I was able to turn up the sound and really hear the sounds of the hits, and the crowd.
