There is a lot of money to be made in live sports because seeing a game or competition in person is much more satisfying than checking the results the next day. One excited user was quoted as, “You mean tennis in one streaming service and there are no additional charges for it. YES.”

This would be a DREAM. I missed the whole first set of the WTA Finals yesterday because TC is a useless service.

The personal journey of a tennis pro is connected in the Naomi Osaka docuseries on Netflix. It explored issues of race, nationalism, civil rights, contemporary media, and how athletes are marketed to the world. These three, forty-minute episodes paint a picture of a young woman who is shy, willfully intelligent, and painfully perceptive as she struggles with an unexpected onslaught of fame and success. It’s also one of the strongest seasons yet for Osaka.

And no attempt is made to address the enormous controversy surrounding her decision to speak to the press, which most likely occurred after the filming was finished.
