One of the greatest moments in tennis history and TSN cuts off the celebrations!!! No wonder so many people have gray market dishes. We continually have to put up with this crap in Canada!!!

Did TSN/TSN2 ever show the rest of the match when play resumed from rain delay? Cause I now TSN is showing MNF.

TSN2 picked up the ESPN2 feed just as the players stepped back on the court.

So they showed the rest of the tennis match but cut away from the post-match festivites so that they could join the start of the late monday night football game?

Considering tennis wasn't suppose to be on today, then weather delayed tennis today and delayed the start of the early football game causing it not to be over in time for the start of the late game, sounds like they tried their best managing the hand they were dealt and trying to please everyone.

The ESPN2 feed was cutting away to the late monday night game as well and was pushing tennis to ESPN classic if had not completed since the early football game was not going to be over in time for the start of the late game so that likely had something to do with it too.

Yea TSN2 just followed the ESPN2 feed, which went from tennis to Monday Night Football. TSN showed the interviews with Djokovic and Nadal, as well as the trophy ceremony.

Would it have hurt ESPN2 to wait another 5 minutes since there are local simulcasts in KC and SD anyways? Does anyone know if the trophy presentation actually continued on Classic? This thread should me renamed 'ESPN is run by a bunch of idiots'. The real mess would have happened if the match went a 5th set.

lol I doubt that very much, It was just the same as any other tennis ending, interview both players, present cheques/tropheys. Nothing great about that just typical protocol.

If this is a TSN complaint thread thread.. then

they moved Around the Horn to TSN2 and put OTR (god, how does that show stay on the air) in its spot and also moved SC to an hour show. (nice, more hockey...................................................... ........)

OTH, theyve added jimrome to TSN2.

Unfortunately, my 'dinner' eating tv is analog cable only, so no more ATH.
