The Slight Tennis Channel

I thought it would be great (not really) that they would have a Tennis Channel, all tennis, all the time. But what I find more fascinating about this channel is not tennis, but squash.

I'm watching an HBO documentary about Billie Jean King. It's this kind of documentary that should show up on The Tennis Channel. Instead the channel is much like Tennis Magazine, which seemed non-offensive. It would tell you how to get to faraway retreats, assuming you had money.

Sports Illustrated would still cover tennis in better depth than Tennis.

While the channel is nice, it's just that--nice. It could be a substantive channel too, and likely, it won't ever be. With other channels claiming the actual matches, and with no desire to stir the pot, it will be pleasant, and no more.
