@jon_wertheim@jon_wertheim I get you are half-kidding. But I’d be more interested in a self-reflective analysis of how tennis “coverage” is diluting the natural drama of the game using silly Breakpoint” storylines. Let the game speak for itself. Just like it is right now in the Pegula match.
7) Last but not least. Show all the matches on network ESPN TV. Give us the option to choose our match, like in college football playoffs. You could even sell more advertising per match!
Typical sexist BS per normal. Can't imagine being a woman (god forbid, an attractive one) in this sport and constantly have to deal with this relentless drivel.
Emma Raducanu now has a target on her back, just like Kournikova and Bouchard https://t.co/93X0pCXyPI
Let’s see. We can watch THREE female grand slam champions and the current female finalist of the LAST TWO grand slams play or Carlito play a qualifier while Mac and Kyrgios talk non-stop. @espn has completely lost the script. #USOpen
Qinwen Zheng after winning China’s first ever gold medal in in singles:
“The last point I was really nervous. My hand was shaking actually. Every match when I go to the bathroom, my body is shaking. I never felt so hungry like this to win a match. I could give everything I can, but I know tennis doesn’t work like this. It’s not like you give everything and get the results all the time. I feel super proud of myself that this time I beat the pressure. I beat my own limit. I didn’t know before I was able to go through 5 matches in a row. Especially 7 hours in 2 days. I feel here in this tournament I broke through my limit. In the future it doesn’t matter how far down I am, I’ll remember this moment and it will cheer me up.” 🇨🇳🥇❤️
Carlos Alcaraz on beating Felix Auger Aliassime to reach Olympics final
“Do you feel like this was your best match this tournament?”
Carlos: “Probably. I have to say yesterday was a really tough day for Felix. Playing a really tough match in singles and playing mixed doubles as well. He finished late. It’s difficult for him to rest and he probably couldn’t give his best tennis physically. I have to say that. But I have to be focused on my game. I’m really happy with my performance. One of the best in this tournament so far. I’m really happy with the feeling.”
