On the other hand, the guys' match today was moved to Bristol because of the wind and cold (really just the wind), and ETSU lost it 4-2 to the Ospreys. As usual, we struggled in doubles, losing that point, and also being weak on the bottom half of the lineup.
(And as usual, the ETSU article is written a bit overly slanted, but I won't go into that.)
If it's an official university release, that's literally their job. It's not going to be unbiased.
No need to re-litigate this here; the same arguments apply. It can be "biased" (slanted, spun), but can still be more informational - and precise.
But while I'm here..........
Note how the scores are reported:
Singles
1. #101 David Biosca (ETSU) def. #64 Jack Findel-Hawkins (UNF) 7-5, 6-3
2. #108 Jefta Kecic (UNF) def. #90 Diego Nunez (ETSU) 6-4, 6-3
3. #69 Robert Herrera (ETSU) def. Yannick Zuern (UNF) 6-3, 7-5
4. Lasse Muscheites (UNF) def. David Gonzalez (ETSU) 6-3, 1-6, 6-3
5. Sahil Deshmukh (UNF) def. Miguel Este (ETSU) 6-3, 6-2
6. Wenceslao Albin (ETSU) vs. Zach Goldberg (UNF) 2-6, 1-4, unfinished
---------
Note that in the #6 match, which went unfinished because the overall match ended when North Florida got to 4 points. ETSU's Albin was behind, having lost the first set 6-2, and was down in the second 4-1. BUT...........White or whoever wrote this, put Albin's name first in the score, instead of the UNF guy, *as it's supposed to be done*. You don't flip the names like that to make it somehow look better than it was. THAT'S JUST WRONG.
There are more tidbits there, but that's the most egregious, blatant abuse of "editing". That may seem minor to you all, but that's just considered very bad form in tennis reporting.
You can spin a little, but there are standards. There are limits.
