Another Memo to Wimbledon

Is NOBODY televising the ladies doubles championship match? NBC appears to be carrying celebrity golf, and none of the dedicated sports channels is carrying it in our area either. At least we are unable to find any mention of it on our 600 or so channels.

Was no outlet willing to pay for these rights? I suspect that whoever did the media contract negotiating for Wimbledon will or should be looking for a new job soon.

I feel your pain.

(As you probably know already, the Williams sisters won.)

I just hope they televise the Senior Women's Invitational. I want to know if Navratilova (and Sukova) will add yet another win to her record.

Mom listened to it on satellite radio. She said it was like being a little girl again. ;-)
