    The contracts for coverage were drawn up long beforehand, so they might have been unable to change the coverage, not allowing for a potential star on the rise/etc. Cameras, announcers, etc, all the setup comes into play, also.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      None of that was an issue. They broadcasted the entire match and had their best commentator on it(BG) they just chose not to show it. They also said a million times that if you were willing to splash the cash you could watch it on your computer, which was even more irritating considering how much we pay for cable.

        Thank you for the clarification and info. Many times, that is not the case.

          Is Sharapova a high seed? If so that is your reason.

            Is Sharapova still a smokeshow? Also, could be your reason. ESPN has a better chance of pulling in casual fans with a hottie on the screen, than with an up-and-comer with potential, and they know that. It isn't right, and it shouldn't be that way, but the reality is that it is likely a factor in these kinds of decisions for a network.

                Perhaps ESPN doesn't get to choose which matches are shown?
