Winbledon TV coverage

[Edit: the court may not be oriented on a north/south axis, but probably is since most courts are built that way. Keeps the sun out of players' eyes much better than if a court is positioned east/west.) Most of the time it doesn't matter which side of the courts the TV cameras are on. The cloudy skies don't cause a problem with glare. But when the clouds break and the sun shines strong, the camera locations do make a huge difference.

The primary cameras are on the north side of the stadium and face south. So when the sun is out and high in the sky, we're looking at shadows. The ball is a shadow. The players are shadows. And there's a glare on the court.

It's too bad. It should be so easy to put the main camera location on the south end of the stadium.

Ah well. Nobody asked me.
