Thank You Direct TV - The Australian Open mix channels are awesome

We love ESPN. We really love the Tennis Channel. But we were already worn out by the commentators. Sorry. You’ll all settle in Darren has already settled in. Take note. You all talk too much. A lot of nonsense.

Right now we are watching Andy Murray versus Ryan Harrison with an Auzzie duo commentating. Could even be Pat Cash. It’s great. No talking during play. It’s not constant. Yakity. Yak. Or blah. Blah. Blah.

Direct tv offers a split screen with six places to watch. You get an ace from us.

There is a double fault here though. It’s the lack of hawk eye on all the show courts. Indian Wells last year did more than ten courts? Maybe 5? Well it was a heap. The players were grateful. This is a Grand Slam. Every match court ought to have a replay system to check line calls. This is professional Tennis. We need to give the players as level a playing fields as possible.
