CBS Airs A Double Dose Of Tennis This Weekend

While CBS is focusing on the Final Four in New Orleans, it also will be airing the women’s and men’s finals of the Sony Ericsson Open at the Crandon Park Tennis Center in Miami. There has been some great tennis these last two weeks as we’ve seen some great upsets with Andy Roddick beating Roger Federer and Australian Open champion Vika Azarenka losing her first match of 2012.

Bill Macatee, Mary Carillo and Mary Jo Fernandez will call the matches for CBS. The women’s final featuring Maria Sharapova is at 12:30 p.m. ET today. The men’s final between Aussie Open champion Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray is scheduled for 1 p.m. tomorrow.

We have the preview from CBS Sports.
