TSN Women’s Tennis Coverage Is Sexist

         Once again I will not be able to watch the WTA championships this year because TSN the Canadian sports channel refuses to broadcast  the event from Madrid Spain. Eurosport understands women’s tennis is the premier female sport in the world. And of course in Europe they will get to see all of the matches. I won’t get to see the dramatic matches between Serena Williams and Justine Henin. Its so unfair! Yet TSN will be showing the ATP Championships from Shanghai China next week. Since when are the male tennis players more popular then the Williams Sisters and Justine Henin? I think more people know  the Williams Sisters and Justine Henin then male tennis players such as Nikolay Davydenko, David Ferrer, and  Fernando Gonzalez. Why is women’s sports always disrespected in Canada? Tennis isn’t considered a “big” draw in Canada but what is the excuse? Madrid is a six hour time zone difference between the Eastern time zone in Canada. The matches could of been broadcast on Canadian TV in the daytime.

 Now I don’t have a chance to see the Princess of women’s tennis Serena Williams play! I won’t be able to see the new Queen of the WTA Justine Henin play either! Women’s tennis is so important because it demonstrates that women sports is popular.  In Europe women’s tennis is very popular. Once again TSN fails WTA tennis fans. I am really pissed because Serena is now ranked number five in the world and she can continue to climb up the rankings. Maria Sharapova is lucky that Venus pulled out of the WTA championships due to not feeling well. I find it strange though that Venus will not be playing. Its such a shame that Sharapova gets to play taking Venus spot. Its sad that Venus is not playing. Its times like this I wished I lived in America and had the Tennis Channel.
