The 2018 US Open came to a close this past Sunday. With one returning champion and a new women's champion it was a tournament full of controversy, both on and off the court. Despite spending $40 million on a five-year deal Amazon failed to ace it's first exclusive coverage of a live sporting event. Tennis fans across the UK flocked to Amazon after they snapped up UK rights to the US Open. What followed was a deluge of complaints, with many users leaving one or two-star reviews.
