      -brad gilbert is annoying, rooting for certain players and against others (we don't give a fuk who you like)
      -chris fowler knows absolutely nothing about tennis, he is into college football mostly
      -interviews whenever they feel like it, no set schedule so can't prepare for it

            Also when ESPN goes to break, the live feed has some fun chants/songs from the Genie Army that are missed..

              The british commentators are so much better than brad gilbert and the americans I have to admit.

                They did this last year during a men's semifinal match (It was the US Open Wawa vs Djoker) and missed several games during the match. Could not believe it.

                  Have to say DirecTV is awesome for having the enhanced coverage for the 1st week. You get to listen to the Aussie announcers instead of ESPN - very much more enjoyable. Have to see if they do it for the French & Wimbledon. I know they do it for the US Open. Makes it easy to watch more of what you want. ESPN caters to what they THINK the US-based crowd wants to see. Basically, big names/American players. If you're a tennis fan, you feel stupid watching their coverage for sure.
