The romantic ones being..? French and italian? Of course Romanian is the most similar to them, as we all have a common root in the Roman Empire. Announce me when come back to Romania

To be on-topic, I still wonder why some of the grand slams don't have streams for junior. Not even for the finals

TV stations normally have zero interest to show juniors.

Last year FO final was streamed, but only because Tunisian TV wanted to show historical moment.

The Australian Open final between Townsend/Putintseva was streamed. So was Barty/Khromacheva at Wimbledon last year.

Yes. French and Italian are known as the Romantic languages

Was the Girls final on Australian TV???

I know they don't have any interest in showing juniors, I'm just wondering why
I know they streamed a few GS finals, but that's all. Gladly there are a few other tournaments, like Copa Gerdau or Canadian Open (if I remember well) which are streaming matches during the tournaments.

It's also in this thread.
BTW, how did TimeyWimey get the match as it's not in t3nnis or tennishaven???
BTW, how do you download videos from youtube if they are unlisted???
If it's ok, I would like to download Anett's match

Normally it´s possible to see couple of matches during GS earlier rounds, if these matches are on televised court and they forget/don´t bother to turn cameras off. Example it was possible to watch Khromacheva-Bains AO R1 on ES Player.

Usually Wimbledon shows more junior matches compared to other slams (but not as much compared couple of years ago, when Wimbledon Live showed tons of juniors) and FO least.

How do you watch Eurosport Player without buying it, as most streaming websites don't show it

That's what I meant, actually. It's not like asking to have juniors on TV. But is it such a huge expense to let the cameras on, on the televised courts?

i'm using ES Player now, the price is really nice, and usually it will have separate channels for each court during GS plus many WTA events

as for Juniors, there's really nothing they can do to decide if televised or not

Romanian is more similar to gallego (language of Galicia in north of spain) than to proper spanish.
But as i know Aliona and Cristina are very different cases. Both are in spain for a lot of time, but Aliona is a more traditional case, she is in barcelona in a big academy. Cristina is a very different case, i think her parents come to spain to work, and she started playing tennis here, she lives in cantabria in a very small academy, is not the traditional case of foreign player who comes to spain to train.
I think she will be selected soon to play in Barcelona, i think she has a lot of offers, because she has really good results with little oportunities. And she had good results since very young. She has a great rivaldry with Julia Payola since they had 10. I think she will play for spain soon
