I am thrilled Olympic tennis was on Bravo. The presentation and commentary was excellent. But, I have a question: what prompted NBC/Bravo to dedicate a channel’s daytime hours to the Olympic sport of tennis? As far as I know, this was not done with any other sport (there’s golf channel for golf, of course…that’s self explanatory). Much more popular sports like soccer or basketball etc didn’t get a dedicated channel.

  Not sure what went into NBC’s decision making there, but they did the same thing in 2012. I guess since there was so much tennis, it made more sense to put it on one channel than to spread it around the various networks.

    I didn’t realize they did that in 2012–thanks for the context.

Wonderful tennis coverage. I agree about James Blake – he knows his tennis history, is analytic and is so upbeat – a breath of fresh air.

Why don’t you have men’s semi-finals listed for Saturday, August 13th? Are we now not going to be able to see Nadal vs. Del Potro?????

  Men’s semis were supposed to be Friday, August 12, but I guess the schedule must have changed due to rain. I’ll update the post.

I have watched a lot of tennis matches in my lifetime and can’t think of a commentator I have enjoyed more than James Blake! Very mannerly and knows his tennis! Well done, James!!!

Tell Brett: Puerto Rico is NOT a country! It is a territory of the USA. Sheesh.

  You’re in the U.K., so I would imagine all of the Olympic coverage is on BBC or its related channels. The tennis coverage is on Bravo in the U.S. only.
