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.
