Does anbody else remember when Bud was a really good tennis
commentator (before he took lessons from Howard Cosell on 
continuous blathering)?  Several (10-12?) years ago he used to cover
tennis matches for PBS, including the US clay court
championships (?) from the Longmeadow Cricket Club in
Massachusetts.  As I recall, he let the action speak for
itself quite a bit.

Now, when I watch tennis matches on TV, I just turn down the
volume and listen to music instead.
