AO tv coverage

[Chris_2593]

I really really wish they would stop showing that 'yeah' South Australian women part of the MKR ads. She does my head in big time. I understand that's the point but this is over stepping the 'annoyance' line.

This.

Quiddich Bruce? Really?

 

[Cleavy]

Have they ever had amphidextrous players who have had forehands for left and right hand?

apparently my uncle used to when he was a lad.

Don't know how useful it would be to be ambidextrous. You'd have to keep changing your grip.

I know it's "unaustralian", but Ch 7's obsession with showing as much as possible of the Aussies is annoying. It lacks variety, there are other players involved in the tournament.

Tsonga is a favourite of mine, but seems to be generally left out of the coverage.

The only reason we're seeing Tsonga now is due to the women's early finish.

It is on Fox Sports.

Go Basil! Called Hamish McLachlan a muppet on air lol.

Basil is just as bad in my books, a clueless, smug muppet himself.

yeah, but casual fan who only watches the Oz open want to see aussies. guaranteed to get good ratings. once the aussies (i.e Lleyton) get booted then Tsonga and Murray (who is the only top 4 not to play on RLA...) will get a better run.

i guess, as Red and black said, for anyone wanting a more fair coverage of all nations at the tennis (and olympics and every other sport) you need Foxtel.

Who is this greek impersonator of Harry Connick Jr sitting next to me? - Henri Leconte

*sigh* Alas Leconte is on foxsports a lot more

 

[Bombers_Forever]

This.

+1.

And the odds thing is also pathetic. If you are that interested in the odds, you would be following it through other means.

Is Joanna Giggs trying to wear as much make up as humanly possible? She reminds me of that woman in the Freak music video by Silverchair (watch it on You Tube and you will know what I mean)

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

I think I may've just seen one of the biggest surname fails from ch 7 on the news before. They incorrectly added an N to Nicolas Mahut, in the scores and wrote "Manhut". Then the ****wit doing the actualy report proceeded to call him "Manhut". You've got to be joking, good god its not even a difficult surname.

 

[red+black]

I was just watching ABC news or Fox Sports News, can't remember which, and they also got Mahut wrong. I was so surprised I wasn't really sure what they said. There was an 'N' in there somewhere I think.

 

[medhurstISGOD]

Quiddich Bruce? Really?

Another Harry Potter reference from Bruce.

 

[Gibbsy]

Turn the effects mike down Ch 7. Whenever the commentators aren't yapping on, the hissing sound increases twofold.

 

[aaronm46]

foxsports coverage of monfils-kukushkin was horrendous, some chump was convinced the match was fixed and the fans were being 'taken advantage of'

also a cracking quote from that match 'i'm sorry if im talking too much but im speechless'


wtf

 

[bullish23]

I am so happy i get to watch on eurosport and not have to put up with ch7. why is sport's broadcasting generally in Australia run so amatuerishly?

 

[Xtreme]

Just about the only funny thing from last night, the promotion for Tomic v Federer "spend the weekend with Bernie" - instant Weekend at Bernie's memories

 

[heals]

I know im a bit late but for ****s sake- Hamish is just the worst commentator ever.

 

[Drummond]

Agreed, he is horrible. Fancy him commentating in a GS. Wow.

 

[Chris_2593]

Surley Hamish is gay? The way he looks at the players.

 

[peternorth]

that handshake between hamish and nadal was cringeworthy.

 

[red+black]

Waiting for a player to walk off after a win and spare Hamish the chance to embarrass himself (again).

 

[red+black]

FFS cringe. Nadal wins his match, some idiot in the media asks him about Tomic. Maybe they should ask every player in their presser about how Tomic is going.
