Also some extreme East Coast bias at play there. You hear it often on sports radio, the level of don't care of what time it is on the West Coast is pretty insane the older you get apparently, they just want that game to be played earlier enough for their own personal bedtime, who cares if school hasn't been dismissed locally just yet.

I would say that settles the case. Russia should not be allowed to compete in Paris.

I hate them big time, probably more than others because I've lived in a Sinclair controlled area and it was hell, but I want to keep Tennis Channel and don't have faith that the channel wouldn't drastically change with another owner, assuming there would even be another owner.

I agree, and wonder what would've happened if TennisTV had remained a place to find both ATP and WTA matches. If TC goes under those of us in the States don't have access to WTA-TV (does it still exist?) so we'd end up like Ponchi and subject to the whims of a big outlet like ESPN.

Yes, and let us not forget that that BeIN Sports period was ROUGH. Not looking for a repeat. Ted Robinson was so happy that period was over and said on-air that it felt like the WTA was in the Witness Protection Program during that time and it was a hilariously accurate description to me.

The Tibetan Mastiff.
Main nutrition staple: rabbits. Fat rabbits.
If traveling in packs, they lack to snack on bears.
(That's a beautiful animal).
