Talk About Tennis 2.0

So I am reading cryptic social media posts referring to something Kyrgios did or posted.

What was it this time?

The Australian is great for me, French not too bad, USO the worst...middle of the night. We get to see multiple courts on sonyliv...if we are awake, that is!

Someone posted a picture of Sinner and Kalinskaya and he replied "second serve"...some sort of childish and boorish "sloppy seconds" comment. Nick Kyrgios commentating for ESPN feels like a symbol of all that's wrong in the world. Every time he pops up I ask myself what I did in a past life to deserve this...but the real question is what did Kyrgios do to deserve it. I feel like his presence is an insult to every other person who has ever been a commentator for the sport.

Add to his sick comment about Vekic when he was playing Wawrinka, and everything you said is right.
I wonder how come he gets such an easy free pass all the time.

Pretty childish.

2024 Week 37
Back from the concrete jungle
Tennis Watchers Sep 8

The one thing about tennis is that it keeps on moving, and while the majors may be done for the year, the tour events keep on going. This week there are three events on tap to quench your post-slam tennis needs! The WTA will be in Guadalajara for a 500 level event and Monastir for a 250. Davis Cup will also kick off Tuesday.

Coverage will move back to Tennis Channel/TC Plus (Davis Cup is not available on Tennis TV). The difference in time zones means live matches will start very early in the morning and end late in the evening with Guadalajara. You can check out the full guide below and enjoy the tennis!

2024 Week 38

Back to Berlin
Tennis Watchers
Sep 15

After a slightly slower week post US Open, the tours are back to full force with five events on tap this week. The WTA will begin the Fall Asian Swing with Seoul and Hua Hin, while the ATP will be in Chendgu and the new event in Hangzhou (replaces Zhuhai). Laver Cup will also be in Berlin starting Friday.

Coverage will be on Tennis Channel, with live matches starting late night and going through early mornings. Replays will then air mid-morning through the afternoon. Laver Cup matches will start early morning with replays throughout the day. TC Plus will also stream Laver Cup (Tennis TV does not have it available).

Don't forget that The Tennis Channel (and ATP TV) continued employing Gimelstob for years after his gross Kournikova comments and then didn't fire him after a criminal assault.

2024 Week 42
Tourneys on Tourneys on Tourneys

The chase for the ATP and WTA Finals heats up this week as we hit that point in the season where tournaments keep coming fast and furious! This week we have five tournaments on tap with the WTA in Ningbo and Osaka, while the ATP is in Stockholm, Almaty, and Antwerp. Check out the full guide below

2024 Week 43
Paris Part Deux
Tennis Watchers
Oct 27

We are on tap for very busy week in the tennis calendar. The ATP will host its last Masters 1000 level event this week in Paris, while the WTA has three 205 level events (Merida, Jiujiang, and Hong Kong) as the appetizer to the WTA Finals, which kick off Saturday.

This week has tournaments across so many time zones it will be hard to find a time without live matches going on! Hong Kong and Jiujiang will begin play late night/early morning, with Paris starting in the morning, and Merida mid-day. This means it may be tough to catch match replays on Tennis Channel, since most of the day will be live play. You’ll find streaming available on Tennis TV and TC Plus.

Halep is playing tonight in Hong Kong.
