Mine sucks!

I don't if it's because Italy is underdeveloped or just because of the contract we've bought!

Well, than there's no reason to pay for something if you can get it for free as well. In my experiece the quality difference between the usual online streams and tennistv is like night and day though.

yeh I understand, when I watch Wimbledon on my parents HD plasma its such a thing of beauty

and watching Maria's FO victory thanks to ITV picking up the rights to the tournament in the UK this year was just incredible (they also had really good commentators too - including amelie

)
but it's just not practical for me to buy a membership what with being a student in London and with rent being so expensive.

I officially have a 20Mbps line and I'm one of the luckiest users with italian Telecom having effective 12.5Mbps, the only people with 100Mbit lines are the ones who live in 5-6 major cities, let alone who lives in small towns where not even an ADSL line is available but they've to go with wireless broadbands (if they're lucky)...
When I think about people I know in Switzerland or read about northern europe (Nederlands or Scandinavia) where they have kickass internet connections, or the US where Google is starting to provide 1GB internet services, I just "

But I'm completely OT, sorry

Oh, I completely understand that. I'm not trying to tempt you (or anyone else) into taking a subscription. If you can get decent quality streams for free on your PC there's no reason to subscribe to anything. And everyone's experience with free streams is different. On my puter they often suck, and there was so much buffering going on that I used to spend more time cursing and searching for a better one than actually watching the match.

oh I know your not a sales rep for tennistv Chrissie

For me it depends, but most of the time with free streams I can't see the ball when it goes in the upper side of the screen

The other problem with Caro is I don't think she trains as hard as the others. Rory is her priority. Perhaps she is losing motivation. Wouldn't surprise me if she retires early which will be a shame as I have grown to like her more since her exos with Maria.

Maria Croft · Dec 31st, 2012, 05:26 PM

It sucks that we have to wait another day to see Maria play, but I'm sure Maria doesn't mind another day off

We should move somewhere else!

I think she trains hard when it comes to the physical aspects of the game (she's after all very fit and has great stamina), but perhaps not enough on her technique and tactics.

I'm happy for her, actually. Now she can at least relax a bit and have some fun with her team and/or loved ones instead of having to go to bed early to be ready for tomorrow.
