Sorry, but does anyone else feel the coverage of the US Open sucks???

Or is it just me?? Ugh.....watching Roger in the first set, with split screen to Del Portos' final set. A SPLIT SCREEN REALLY??? Del Portros needs the full screen, and thank gawd he won, sheesh......a split screen?? NO.

I was looking for another feed and found several ESPN feeds with just their logo and awful music. Would it kill them to take the second week as seriously as the first?

I understand losing the multi feeds since there are fewer matches but this is ridiculous. They both deserved full screen coverage.

I have a Roku so they show that for any commercial I'm not allowed to see. You probably see that more for ESPN3.

why can't they show it on ESPN News or one of their other channels when another match is running late?

It will also permanently suck until they get rid of Chris Fowler doing commentary on Grand Slam tennis.
