The Miami Open just broke the record for the worst draw ceremony stream of all time Not only did they barely show the actual draw, but when they did it was too blurry to see anything without a magnifying glass.
'Worst draw ceremony stream of all time': 2023 Miami Open WTA Draw courts controversy for barely visible coverage on app
Tennis NewsMonday, 20 March 2023 at 20:24
As of time of writing, there is still no WTA draw confirmed for the 2023 Miami Open despite it being completed live on Sunday evening in Florida.
This courted controversy with the draw being shown on the TennisOne App, previously used for smaller tournaments and is known as a live score facility.
But being filmed on a phone camera, the electronic board was barely visible as the names were being placed and this drew the ire of tennis fans on social media calling it the 'worst draw ceremony of all time' as seen below.
Other social media accounts called it 'absolutely preposterous' with fans able to tune in live also and turn their microphones on which led to music being played as well as fart noises.
This facility will also be used tomorrow for the Men's Draw at 12:30 ET which organisers will hope won't follow a similar trend.
the miami open draw thing is so ghetto im not downloading that app lmk when it gets posted 馃槶
people were singing and farting 馃槶
The Miami Open is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments on the calendar and they can't put together a decent, working live stream for the draw. Absolutely preposterous.

- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the fa莽ade.
