[Arecsa]

They just did it yet again!! Just missed the first game and a half of Clijsters/Sharapova. What a disgrace.

Thats just stupid, there is no reason to miss any games at this point of the tournament.

Exactly a round match you could forgive but a semi-final is just pathetic. I hope they get a heap of abuse from fans over this years telecast. I cant believe that Perth STILL gets a 2 hour delay of the night matches. One hour should be enough but nope they HAVE to show the two worst shows on TV, Today Tonight and Home & Away (Bit harsh on H&A but TT is the worst by a mile). Even the tennis at 7 would be beter, show Home and Away at 6.30 instead of TT, oh and we get it 2 hours delay plus 30mins of crappy slow-mo bulid up to the match...yes this is a rant but it is pathetic.

This year coverage has been a disgrace

Why does channel 7 completely miss the first game of a match?


Before they use to do the introduction of the players, now they are too consumed with money and showing advertisements, very poor.

Also channel 9 coverage isnt that flash either, with them showing delayed coverage of wimbledon and US OPEN.


Free to air networks SHOULD show all sports that they have in-play live.

They should go straight into the second game in Adelaide and could do the same with Perth almost, but there might still be a timing problem. I'd rather watch one game live and can watch the second one on replay at the end of the first. Either way the first game is not live. It would help the ratings as well.

this year coverage if u watch it


they miss the first game of a set SHARAPOVA 1-0 CLIJSTERS

and we all of a sudden are forced to watch mid way through a service match 30-15 CLIJSTERS serving.



For goodness, sake introduce the players, like foxtel do.

I know foxtel are not that popular on here in some circles but with their tennis covereage they do make tennis the priority, not like seven with all the other rubbish.

Fox do have the massive advantage of being able to charge the people that watch it though, so 7 do need to show more ads. But should never miss any action of a semi final.

 

[Warwick]

At least most people get to see some live matches during prime time. In Queensland, matches have been delayed for an hour since who knows when.
