.jon_wertheim has some parting thoughts on Djokovic, Sabalenka, the weird ESPN coverage and more from this year's Australian Open
The revelation of the tournament was, of course, Ben Shleton, the Floridian who was a college player a year ago and a top 50 player today. So much to like about his game, starting with his lefty forehand; his durability and his likability. This was close to a perfect tournament for him. He answered a lot of questions. He leaves knowing there are still more levels to crack.You can’t spell Rune without “rue.
Gauff suffered an upset loss in the fourth round, but it still seems only to be a matter of time before she wins her first major.Coco Gauff is like ice cream and pizza. If you don’t like her, you’re the problem. But we need to balance out the optimism with a realistic assessment: She is 18. She is progressing beautifully. She is stampeding into the tennis future. Her greatest asset might be her poise. And losing to Jelena Ostapenko in round four…is a loss that ought to sting.
At some level, this is all just rational actors acting rationally. This a media rights deal; not philanthropy or an exercise in nobility. But this is also tennis being tennis: intransigent, territorial, short-sighted, acting to the detriment of the sport overall., most of the blame here falls on Tennis Australia, not ESPN. The obvious solution: the seller puts up some guardrails. “
Hey, look, buyer, we’d love for you to cut that check. But we are making some demands. Until streaming grows, there always has to be linear T.V. coverage. We need your team on the ground and not bleary-eyed in Bristol. We’re coming off this bump with Netflix and now we’re squandering that, making the sport so damn hard to find and alienating fans. Help us out here. Your shabby treatment amounts to sports-i-cide.
