Note to ESPN, there's a tennis tournament on

This is a tale of two events. You turn to NBC and get to see the golfers actually - I know this sounds crazy - but playing golf in the final round of the U.S. Open. However, when you tune into ESPN2 for its Wimbledon coverage you get Suzy Kolber, Patrick McEnroe and Brad Gilbert chattering, then a clip of Roger Federer's post-match press conference and a couple shots of Novak Djokovic warming up. Meanwhile, French Open finalist Robin Soderling is in a battle with Gilles Muller, No. 9 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is also in a bit of a tussle.

Fortunately for those fellow DirecTV subscribers, the channel package showing live matches will debut tomorrow. It was supposed to start today but was bumped because the U.S. Open golf tournament stretched into today because of rain-related delays and suspensions earlier in the event.
