Tennis fans recently criticized the camera angle during the Six Kings Slam exhibition match between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev. The exhibition tournament began on October 16, 2024, and will continue until October 19, 2024.
Sinner defeated Medvedev 6-0, 6-3 to start the Six Kings Slam, while Alcaraz defeated Rune 6-4, 6-2. Alcaraz will play Nadal in the final four, while the world No. 1 will next face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.
However, the camera angle used to broadcast Sinner and Medvedev’s quarterfinal match left fans frustrated. Viewers found it challenging to see the ball clearly on television due to the high camera angle.
Fans vented their frustration on social media, with one fan claiming that the tournament gave more importance to promoting sponsors than to giving viewers a clear view of the match.
A fan posted: “Sacrificing the visibility of the sport itself to promote the sponsor is so backwards.”
Another one wrote: “Was refreshing waiting for someone to post this, makes it unwatchable really. Quite disappointing that none of the team members told them how sh*t this camera angle is.”
One of the fans commented: “Zero visibility of the ball. How can people watch this on TV?”
One fan commented: “So the Arab kings can afford to pay fortunes to the players but can’t afford to set up a proper camera for the event? Hilarious.”
