The prominent tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg criticizes Tennis Channel for the delay in coverage of the match between Francisco Cerundolo (No. 22) and Tommy Paul (No. 16) at the Madrid Open. Rothenberg had previously criticized the coverage of the match between Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina at the Miami Open.
The journalist logged into Tennis Channel to follow the duel between the American and the Argentine but noticed a delay, as the match was 3-2 in favor of Paul, but the official stream still showed 0-0.
"Currently 5 games behind... Paul vs. Cerundolo is at 3-2 and it's still 0-0 on the stream. I just canceled my upcoming renewal @TennisChannel," some fan wrote
This is not the first time that someone has reported this situation, as during the second round of the Miami Open, in Naomi Osaka's victory over Elina Svitolina (6-2, 7-6), the official broadcast also had a similar delay to what happened in Madrid.
"Tennis Channel streaming is a disaster. The Osaka-Svitolina stream is a full changeover + game behind. How does this happen? Never encountered another streaming service that offers lag quite so glacial," Rothenberg had written.
“Tennis Channel monopolizing the tour has lead to serious complacency on quality by them, frustratingly.”

"Tennis Channel Plus feed currently more than three minutes behind live score," Rothenberg had written.
The third-round match between Paul and Cerundolo ended with the Argentine's victory by 6-7(7), 6-4, 6-2. The clay court specialist will face none other than the 4th seed Alexander Zverev, seeking a spot in the quarterfinals.
