In the world of tennis enthusiasts, an unsettling wave of dissatisfaction recently rippled across social media. Viewers, eagerly anticipating a momentous WTA final featuring a promising young American talent Ashlyn Krueger, found themselves entrapped in a whirlwind of nostalgia. The epicenter of their rage? None other than the Tennis Channel, whose programming decisions had turned the spotlight away from the Osaka final.
While fans eagerly waited for the Osaka Open final, the fans had to be satisfied with the Laver Cup highlights which could not help but slam the decision. Later, fans took their rage to Twitter where they slammed the authorities for their negligence while the final featured an American player.

While another person agreed with what the user said, she further replied by saying that they can show American guys when they go out to play but didn’t show an important final which they should have.
Genuinely cause they go out of their way to show the scrubby American guys but can’t even show one of the most promising players in her first final like???

It clearly showed that neither fan was happy with the act done by the broadcasters. “TC scamming again… Osaka final is supposed to be on TV but they’re showing random old Laver Cup highlights,” wrote the fan.
