After enduring a month of FSN’s erratic scheduling of the Pacific Life Open and Sony Ericsson Open, fans can rejoice that ESPN2 is back this year to broadcast the 2008 Bausch & Lomb Championships.
Cliff Drysdale and Mary Joe Fernandez will be in the commentary booth for the network during the Tier II tournament.

It was really really awesome to watch pro tennis on pro tv - ESPN2 - outstanding announcers - Cliff and Mary Joe - and they stayed on the air an extra hour til the match was completed. Can’t wait for the semis tommorrow.
PS were u watching fsn?

I am disappointed that ESPN decided to play a replay of yesterday’s quarterfinal match. Davenport’s withdrawel gave ESPN a chance to show us two of the young up and comers on the tour and didn’t. Can any network give tennis fans good “LIVE” tennis?

I agree with Steve . . . having watched the quarterfinal (Sharapova-Bondarenko), I am disappoited not to be able to see the new and up and coming tennis players. Why would I want to see the same match again.

I agree with Steve. why would i want to watch the same match again. Let us see those who are up-and-coming since we cannot see Sharapova and Lindsay Davenport. Disappointing that ESPN would make this choice.
