news:

TennisTV.com is the official video website of the ATP World Tour and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.

From January 2009 we will offer live streaming of more than 700 matches, highlights, exclusive interviews and behind the scenes features from more than 40 tournaments around the world. You can watch your favourite men's and women's tennis players live online at TennisTV.com.

http://www.tennistv.com/page/Home/0,,12543,00.html

*have to check if its free and are there any restrictions like (not available in your region sth)..

Thanx for the heads-ups. We can hope these same linx will hold up tomorrow. siki_sport seems to have gotten through today without the plug being pulled.

On Wednesday, Eurosport will show an hour of replay from 13:00 - 14:00 GMT, then begin with Ivanovic vs. Zvonareva at 14:00 GMT. Dementieva (in her new red dress ) vs. V.Williams will follow at about 16:00 GMT and then Safina vs. S.Williams.

Keep in mind: 1) Eurosport will break about 17:00 GMT for a 15 minute Eurogoals Flash spot. 2) As today, the YEC coverage will end around 19:15 GMT. If the third match runs too long, it may get cut off.

Yes indeed, we'll have to follow TennisTV.com. The page somewhat resembles that atpmastersseries.tv that was around earlier this year. TennisTV may be an evolution of that. That one involved pay, question s of access and also, during the combined events, did not cover the women's matches very well (WTA matches only available in the States.) However, the number of matches advertised for the named events looks promising.

Just one thought:  Always encourage the little pirates & anarchists to keep up their good work. Any centralization is not about expanding access, but instead limiting access.

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Khalifa Tennis Complex (from 17.00hrs Doha) (14:00 GMT)
1. Jankovic vs. Kuznetsova
2. S.Williams vs. V.Williams (about 15:30 GMT)
3. Safina vs. Dementieva

(As before, Eurosport has a replay hour 13:00-14:00 GMT. Dunno if anyone is streaming it, though.)

The "Balkan Network" was still going strong at http://www.justin.tv/siki_sport 

siki should get through the first two matches tomorrow (as they've done Tue & Wed).

The plug was pulled on radiomix2. They moved to http://www.justin.tv/radiomix4

Also http://www.justin.tv/eto91 came online so those may stick with Eurosport through Dinara/Elena.

http://livetv.ru/en/ now promises streams. Check 30 minutes before match time. (13:30 GMT)

Ahhh thanks so much Paul!!  I can finally understand the commentary now - I was watching a stream with German commentary before.

Yeah, what Lev was running there was coming through ESPN EN VIVO, but it's basically the Tennis Channel feed. You gotta listen to old Barry MacKay and Tracy Austin find subtle ways to come off dismissive of all things Russian--but that's apparently the price of listening to any Yankee outlet. Lotta good intel, though. Hope they don't cut that off.

Oh, the German http://www.justin.tv/radiomix4 had a slightly superior resolution. I was running it with the sound muted plus Lev for the audio. They were only slightly outta sync.

Saturday, November 8, 2008

Khalifa Tennis Complex (from 13.00hrs Doha) (10:00 GMT)
1. Peschke/Stubbs vs. Srebotnik/Sugiyama
2. Black/Huber vs. Medina Garrigues/Ruano Pascual

3. Zvonareva vs. Dementieva (NB 17.30hrs Doha) (14:30 GMT) followed by:
4. Jankovic vs. V.Williams

Hey, if you want to see the doubles, myp2p.eu has two streams at that time. Unfortunately, they both require additional software. (I have been considering getting that UUSee, as it can access the China Golf/Tennis Channel):

Some streams may also carry the Eurosport replay half hour at 14:00 before the semis.

YEC Sunday, November 9, 2008

Eurosport will replay semis action 07:30-08:30 GMT.

myp2p.eu will have its same streams for doubles final 12:00-14:00 GMT.

Khalifa Tennis Complex : Final: Venus Williams vs Vera Zvonareva   (14:30-16:30 GMT)

On Saturday, the streams war picked up. siki_sport's plug got pulled and, far as I know, Lev never got it up.

But radiomix4 held up most of the day and http://www.justin.tv/dragonblades broadcast British Eurosport. (I would've given a heads-up but I couldn't access the forum for a couple of hours after 17:00 GMT.)

I'll try those portals tomorrow, 'cause I want the final live. However, in the States, ESPN2 will televise it at 12:00 noon Eastern time. (That's 17:00 GMT, should streams of that delayed broadcast appear.) I'll videotape it should Vera win.

Reliable portals from this week are ready to go for the YEC final. Find them at:

(I use the direct link http://www.justin.tv/dragonblades as the "widgets" avenue has never worked for me.)
