    TV coverage of Izmir tournament - terrible. Couldn’t you say something to the guys who are responsible for the TV coverage of Izmir qualifing tournament. The cameras dance is unbearable. Many times you do not know where the ball is, where it fell, who gained a point - you can tell it only by the decision of referee or reactions of the players. The TV producer or camera director or however you call him/her must be an ameteur.
    Greetings
