Seville fans took to throwing hundreds of tennis balls onto the pitch shortly after kick-off. They were upset about their match against Levantes being moved back to allow the El Clasico sole possession of the TV coverage.

A banner was also held up in sarcastic reference to Real’s Manager “Stop the match, Mourinho is talking”. Quite witty actually.

This is not the first time tennis balls have been used to cause chaos at a football match. FC Basel turned against their most famous supporter in Roger Federer a few years back when their watch was moved in order to give his match against Novak Djokovic top billing with the TV.

Compare the two matches. Which team has the best ball skills?

FC Basel

Seville

Two point away from the end of the match, Kirilenko apparently tapped her racquet a few times against the court during the point and the point was subsequently stopped by the referee and called a hindrance. If you didn’t catch that while you were there or watching on TV, here’s your chance for a replay of the incident.

What an amazing week for Marinko Matosevic who made the final of the ATP Tour Delray Beach tournament. There were a lot of the worlds best players in the tournament, but Matosevic who was a qualifier made it all the way to the final. Matosevic lost the final to Kevin Anderson 6-4 7-6, but it was still the best week of tennis in his career.

Congrats Marinko! Looking forward to more great results in 2012 and seeing you in the top 40 in the world.

I know a lot of these live streams are being removed, but why arent the ATP, WTA, ITF and other organisation taking advantage of live streaming and actually trying to monetize this opportunity?

I know the revenue opportunities within live streaming on the net hasnt developed enough yet, but it really seems like this opportunity is being missed.

What do you think? Would you watch these events online if you could?
