Enjoyed your coverage, Marcus, as usual!! Linda M.
Excellent. Interviewees are more in the foreground of the shots–nice touch (wider angle?). The panoramic view from top was really sharp. Your commentary and interview style showed as cool, calm and in control, articulate without losing your signature enthusiasm.
Hey Marcus! Tony introduced me to your site and as a tennis fan I really enjoy your videos; you have a contagious personality because of your enthusiasm and love for tennis. Do you take any match/interview requests? Fantastic job on the website, and thanks for providing us with up-close shots of the best in the world.

Thanks for the comments, and be sure to share with your Tennis Friends!
I DO take requests, but, I cannot always get the interviews. There are a lot of factors involved in dealing with the players and the WTA or ATP.
Wish I was there, maybe next year.
Tennis should iittnsute a challenge rule for foot faults. simple to do, place camera’s on the baseline showing the foot and when the ball is struck, you can have split screens, They do it baseball when a running is tagging up on a fly ball to the outfield. one camera shows the catch the second the foot of the runner on the base! This would make sure that this kind of incident will never happen again, especially in a huge match like this one.
