I think breaking the score up would be worse, since tennis scoring always requires you to see both numbers in comparison to each other.

ESPN apparently tried a vertical scorebox that didn't go over well in 2004 (numbers too small?).

Instead i suggest break the score box into two section.

One for roddick at upper left away from the main court.

The other for federer at lower left again.. away from the main court.

The main reason, people are watching to see the tennis match, not viewers not spectators. in that case spectators can be blocked out without harm.

I battle that idealism daily in my facility, yet, if I push hard enough, we can ALWAYS find little improvements that may lead to a larger improvement in the proverbial "someday".

Just food for thought…

I could have stayed in the cage for 30 - 40cuts instead of the 10 we were usually allotted, but back to the task at hand...<br /><br />One suggestion might to be to move the scorebox way off to the upper right, which is also wasted space and would not obscure the action. With it posted vertically people won't like to read it - too engrained in the left to right reading paradigm. Oh jeez, I used to LOVE batting practice. Loved to hit.
