WANT TO WATCH RAFAEL NADAL ON TELEVISION AT INDIAN WELLS '08?

I always have to depend on Rafa fans at Rafael Nadal "Fan Page" link to tell me the time Rafa plays around the world and if not on televison, what websites I might see him play live. So I know how frustrating it is to be a passionate fan of a professional tennis player and want to see our favorites play and not be so informed.

Rafa is warming up right now and will play in a few minutes. If you have Cox Cable, find Fox Sports. For me on the east coast, it is Channel 55. I am in Rhode Island.

on my screen on the very bottom there is a long, long list of different locations aroung the world where it can be viewed. Click on your location and the schedule for airing the matches will come up.

I'm a novice at obtaining this information, so I understand how dependent some of us are on getting the information in a timely manner.

To admit my "novice-status" I will admit I have been watching Fox all day because I thought the tennis matches would be there. But by going to the Pacific Life Open website and finding the above links I found out that the matches are on Fox Sports Channel ,which for me is Channel 55. They just now showed Rafa and mentioned he would be playing later as a "favorite player wherever he goes".


Vamos, Rafa!!

Rafa Rules Our Hearts

P.S. When disappointed that television wasn't airing the matches, Sunday, March 16, 2008, I tried the first online alternate choice below. Though, it didn't work on my IMAC, it works on my laptop with Windows XP. And I am watching Federer versus Garcia-Lopez live now at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
