Maybe a clothes or shoe sponsor or anyone who wants to see tennis get attention. Please, for the love of using a brain I am disgusted watching players for one and two weeks wearing the same FUNKY outfits take a page from golf a boring sport the players bring a little life to the game by changing outfits every day,clothe$ and $hoe $ponsor$ love it.

And don't they know we want the tennis and to know, in advance, the schedules, early rounds and all? As for Espn, that ticker can drive me wild but so can some of the commentators on both channels who yak, yak, yak while play is in motion. Just shut up!!! Johnny Mac is the best commentator in my mind on the men's side and Mary Carillo on the women's. As for the rest of you, we don't care how much you want to reminisce or show how much you know (get it Tracy Austin? for eg?). We just want to enjoy a match in silence. At least I do. Thanks for the schedules here! Makes my recording a lot easier. Agree Tennis Channel is really letting its subscribers down.

Yes, it's better than nothing, but, tell me, do any tennis fans really enjoy that annoying "DUFUS TICKER" taking up the bottom of the screen? After enough complaints, ESPN removed it some of the time during Wimbledon, but, lucky us, it's baaaak. Biggest disappointment to me, that ESPN will be doing the US OPEN coverage rather than the USA Network. I can only hope that the USTA made "DUFUS TICKER"-free coverage a requirement of the US Open contract. Mixed feelings about espn coverage.

If the TENNIS channel isn't broadcasting TENNIS....then...what ARE they showing? *scratches chin* I haven't subscribed to the Tennis Channel yet, but I am considering probably getting Orbit. I've heard a lot of venomous comments directed at Fox Sports and NBC by tennis fans, but how about ESPN's coverage? At this point I'm all confused about the packages. I wish there was a channel that covered tennis religiously. And I mean ALL tennis, everything from men's to womens, to boys/girls, to wheels chairs, Davis Cup, exhibitions, WTT, doubles, mixed doubles...EVERYTHING! And all the commercials have to be "point of the day" type commercials. All fillers have to be "game of the week" or "match of the month"..so that we'll all literally bleed tennis balls and spew tennis nets. So far, it seems, that there are a lot of pathetic attempts at covering and showing genuine interest in tennis. *stamps foot* This world is insane! Personally, I prefer to get my tennis coverage from Al Jazeera Sports Channel. But I would love to have more variety....go figure. Oh, btw, thanks alot FreakyFrites for taking the time to post the schedule. :-) Gosh GoMaria that sounds like terrible coverage.

I always asked myself this question. The week after wimbledon I did not see any WTA weekly matches. Then this week the Tennis Channel did not show any ATP or WTA games. The question I also asked was that why can't they show early matches - the Tennis channel doesn't show any of them unless the tournament is a master series. This is just not right. Show us tennis, Tennis Channel! From Monday to Sunday. I am seriously thinking of subscribing to the Tennis only from April to September. (the clay court season, and FO and Wimbledon and US O). Darn, I forgot they carry AO too in late January. I hate Tennis Channel (right after Fox Sport Network). Why do I even bother subscribing to Tennis Channel? I always asked myself this question.

I'm so glad NBC never has the rights to the US Open series. Even though they wouldn't have to worry about the time difference, NBC would find a way to screw it up. Thanks for the schedule.
