Just because you don't have an interest in said sport doesn't mean it isn't worthy enough to be reported on. I hate NASCAR, but I recognize that others like it and is supposedly the fastest-growing "sport" out there. No sports operation can afford to miss out on a growing phenomenon.<P ID="signature">______________

no sports operation can miss out on a growing phenomenen???? you aren't speaking to some idiot here....stop comparing tennis to nascar...tennis is below everything as far as interest level........wow, nascar is popular? no way???
I am not close minded enough to think that because I hate tennis that it shouldn't be given coverage (I don't hate it anyway)....it shouldn't be given coverage because america doesn't give a (fill in expleteive)...stop making excuses and stick to the point...tennis is a joke and nobody cares about it...stop giving tennis scores from a 3rd rate tournament from India...tthat is all I ask

Re: YOU HATE NASCAR?!?!!?!
For those of you who like NASCAR, more power to ya...but I absolutely, positively hate this so-called "sport." To me, its increase in popularity signals a dramatic decline in the country's average IQ level.

Since the NFL and college football seasons are on the horizon, as well as the MLB pennant races, a lot less time, if not none at all, will be devoted to reporting about "a 3rd rate tournament from India". <P ID="signature">______________

First, it's probably not Davis but the producers who select what gets read; Davis is just reading it.
Second, I find pro basketball as boring as tennis (a lot in common; just back and forth and complaining to the officials) but I don't complain that the NBA gets coverage. You buy a network, you can put what you want on it. How much are you paying to listen to ESPN, anyway?

Sometimes thats not the case. Granted I've noticed it more on the local side of things, but I've heard update guys slip in scores of, say a not quite local college basketball team he currently broadcasts for (i.e. Bob Heussler WFAN/Fairfield University of the small mid-major MACC confrence)

Difference is, the NBA is still considered a major sport in terms of media (both sports and non-sports) coverage. Tennis, except when certain players "cross over" ala the Williamses and Andre Aggasi about 10 years ago, is not
