We’re really sad that ESPN coverage of Thursday night’s games was lost because Spectrum and Charter were unable to settle their legal disagreement with Disney. We have high hopes that this disagreement may be resolved as soon as possible, according to a statement from USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier.

In addition to all of the ESPN network channels, Charter Spectrum no longer carries the ABC-owned stations, Disney-branded stations, Freeform, FX, or National Geographic channel.
