Tennis TV Coverage

Has anyone else noticed that the video cameraman on Tennis Tv is constantly filming people in the crowd to the point where it's distracting to even watch the match. 

I've even sensed the ego of the cameraman being nosy or thinking he's clever by filming all the people in the crowd. It's probably the most annoying thing I've ever encountered in trying to observe a sporting event. And if it's not filming people in the crowd. It's changing the angle of the shot just to show how good he is with his camera. 

Literally ridiculous, and this genius probably never heard of the slogan less is more. 

Just show the match, and stop changing the camera view every 5 seconds. A child could do a better job with their cell phone in the crowd. 

You're not wrong, I hope the day comes when ESPNbet gets behind tennis and crushes The Tennis Channel into dust...with them now involved in sports betting, it seems like the perfect partnership to get people gambling from 6am-6pm on tennis all over the world at multiple events, filling the daytime gap in between nightly cards of Hoops/Hockey/Baseball, etc.

I'm sure it will happen eventually.

 I like the way you think. Godspeed my friend! tough final tomorrow in Doha. I've got Khachanov winning that. He's been superb all tournament. I won't discount what Mensik has been doing, as I also believe he might be a big time talent. I just don't think Karen is gonna let him off the hook so easy as some of his other opponents did. As for Dubai. It's nearly impossible to go against Kalinskaya, but this is one where it's possible she loses. Swiatek is really not playing in form at all. There is so many errors coming from her, and the serve is bad. Same goes for Gauff. She was absolutely not in top form or anywhere near there. The Dubai courts are very fast from what I seen, and some of the top players having trouble controlling Anna's power hitting and aggressive style. These matches were close, and if there is any drop in the level of play. Paolini could cause some problems. 

for me I'd say 60/40 edge to Kalinskaya which gives Paolini some slight value odds on. It's not really a bet I'd want to make pre-match, but I would consider Jasmine live if she is poised and ready to go. More of an entertainment punt, because I've had some bad history backing her. I did bet her to beat Cirstea today, and sort of felt lucky with that.

well I couldn't have analyzed the Paolini match much better.. El Goat Strompowski
