Sportsnet tennis debacle reveals the have and have nots in Rogers sports empire
As a popular Canadian athlete and Olympic medallist, appearing at the downtown dome to toss out a ceremonial first pitch prior to a recent Blue Jays home game, the cross-promotion made sense for tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime. Article content A Rogers-sponsored athlete at the Rogers Centre for a Rogers-owned pro team to help pump up an event in which Rogers is the presenting sponsor. Article content Article content Article content All the more reason, then, for those in the Auger-Aliassime camp and Tennis Canada to be miffed at how the Rogers-owned network broadcasting this week's National Bank Open at York University dropped the ball. Article content Sportsnet's decision not to produce its coverage of opening week action of the NBO in both Toronto (men) and Montreal (women) has not sat well with many of the principals involved with Canada's marquee event for the sport. Article content Though reluctant to criticize their broadcast partner directly and publicly, behind the scene Tennis Canada and tournament officials are miffed at Sportsnet's cost-cutting moves during the early rounds, opting for the ATP world feed for the first week of play. Article content (On Saturday through next weekend's finals, Sportsnet's regular, top-notch tennis crews were back in action in both Montreal and Toronto, as were the network's own producers.) Article content Even that development has come with some trimmed corners, however. There will be production crews on site at both venues, as well as those calling the action. Studio coverage will be from Rogers headquarters, however, eliminating the possibility of big-name players dropping by the set for interviews. Article content Article content The most egregious shortfall took place on Wednesday, however, when Auger-Aliassime's match, a tense straight-set loss to Hungary's Fabian Marozsan, was not shown at all on Sportsnet. Tennis Canada officials had purposely scheduled the popular Canadian in prime time and on the stadium court to maximize the audience — a win-win exposure wise. Article content Article content Where the communication broke down between Sportsnet and ATP's in-house folks remains to be seen. Article content 'Obviously what happened, we didn't want that to happen,' Hale said, according to the Canadian Press. 'We're going to have those discussions (on Sportsnet producing the full event in future years.) We've already started it. So I think there will be a better solution going forward as we move along.'
