Once I...I do want to watch most matches, live, yes. Once I know what happened, it takes most of the interest out for me--but not always. There are occasional matches I want to see--or at least see part of--just to know what happened. But I also don't have time to let matches stack up so I can watch them, so I just try to stick to live.<BR/><BR/>I have a Tennis TV subscription, so that will take care of everything but the majors. Alas, I hear Wimbledon Live is no more--I really liked Wimbledon Live. I could watch a match on TV and a match on the notebook at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I've been screaming for years to have Dementieva's name correctly pronounced. I'm now hearing a few commentators pronounce it right. My understanding--and I could be wrong--is that Sveta really <I>is</I> an OVA.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-5441044208323630642009-01-26T10:52:00.000-06:002009-01-26T10:52:00.000-06:00Diane, unless you insisting on watching your sport...Diane, unless you insisting on watching your sports live, why not get a VCR/DVR. It's wonderful, watch one, record the other. I don't know how I would've managed otherwise...of course, now I have a stack of about 10 DVDs with matches that I have yet to watch. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Kuznetsova, how DO you pronounce her name? I was cheered last night (actually this morning) when Tiffany Cherry (from ESPN) right off asked Dementieva how to pronounce her name. It's de-MYENT-e-va.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-5823502334324269572009-01-25T23:35:00.000-06:002009-01-25T23:35:00.000-06:00Rodger, the link should be the Sony Ericsson WTA T...Rodger, the link <I>should</I> be the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour site, but the site's player profiles do contain errors, so the site is not 100% reliable.
