(34,060 posts)If you would tell me how the coverage was for you? For some reason on my TV I could not change the contrast or brightness to make a difference. Every other court is fine but center court is yellow striped with yellower. I could not see the ball and that made a relatively boring match almost unwatchable.

(34,060 posts)not like this. I think it would be weird to play on that. Perhaps it isn't seen so much from the court. Odd about my TV, if it is that way on only one channel I think that is odd. Oh well, it will not make me happy to watch this first week without being able to see the ball on center court. Thankfully there is a lot more happening than center court!
Too bad about Sloane. It has been a pretty long draught for US tennis. EDIT to add, except for Serena of course. How could I forget Serena?
