AO TV Coverage Part 2

[vaughany]

Call me petty, but Squeamish McLachlan's repeated referring to Ken Rosewall (Arena) as Ken Rosewell is starting to grate. Disrespecting an Aussie legend. Also seems to pronounce many other players' names differently to everybody else as well.

Yeah Hamish has been mucking up a bit this week. Calls Grandstand court one, pronounces Raonic incorrectly etc

why do all australian players get the australia flag on the score i think it would look better with other countries flags too. Mclachlan as a host sucks bad

 

[JackNah_8]

I always thought Leconte was brought in more for comedic value than anything else.

Leconte gets annoying after 2 mins of him yelling.

Bruce is returning again this year

Someone that follows tennis for 3 weeks a year shouldn't be in the commentary booth.

You'd think after years of commentating at the AO, Bruce would know something about tennis besides presenting stats all the time. Or asking Courier, what does he think?

Because most of the people who watch 7's 'Summer of Tennis' wouldn't know which players are Australian.

He's already started with his annoying "hasn't he?" while hosting the draw.

So the very casual fan knows who to barrack for.

Did anyone watch the draw earlier? Bruce's interview with Li Na was so bad, extremely awkward/cringe worthy.

By the sounds of it I'm glad I missed it

Here's the interview

lol @ Bruce...

 

[wally funk]

Not a fan of this interviewing a player during the short break between sets. Let them concentrate on the bloody match!

Edit: Oh, I see. Game over. Never mind.

Channel 7 should try to get Aussie Li Na in to do commentary one year.... she could be the female Henri Leconte and generate excitement in women's matches.

They should also take Hamish out the back and shoot him.

Channel 7 too lazy to learn how to pronounce "Kudryavtsev". Yeah it looks difficult, but it's disrespectful. Go and ask someone you flogs.

Enjoying the commentary free steaming, though this is going to eat the * out of my monthly usage.

Foxtel with the red button was the s**t

YOU'RE UNAUSTRALIAN. YOU MUST BARRACK FOR THE AUSSIE!

I think they do it also because too many wogs, lack of anglos as mentioned above.

 

[randyzany]

This is awesome we now get to watch any of the games currently being played on all of the courts. I just wonder why they didn't make it available at the official Australian Open website in the first place.

[Kaan]

I can't understand why Jim Courier is happy to work with someone like Bruce who has a tennis IQ of 0.

I would be asking to work with someone like Todd Woodbridge who actually knows about the game.

 

[wally funk]

He probably gets told to take his thousands of dollars and work alongside whoever they tell him to.

I like week 2 when all the aussies are gone and the commentators just adopt someone else as australian. Aussie Anna, Aussie Li. Looking forward to see who it will be this year
