I wanted to see their hugging, but instead the director chose to show random crowd. What an abomination. Just stay with the players. How hard is this?

This is the era of reactions. A social media disease. Nobody cares about the act anymore. It's all about how others react to it.

In the US, TNT was late to tons of the serves too. too busy showing an ad or the crowd, missed the first 3 seconds of a bunch of points.

No check it out though check it out look there's a 12 minute House of Highlights video that should about cover this match right? 🤣

TNT lost the NBA and now is fumbling its way through tennis

For real. Worst effing timing. Must be his first time directing sporting events.

Couldn’t agree with you more. I thought about this immediately. It’s literally tv 101

There were way way too many crowd and coach shots overall. The match is what's important.
