Why the f*** do they keep showing that annoying promo for 'my kitchen rules' with that gay boy continually saying "hello". Seriously, how the f*** could that ad entice people to watch that s***?

Apart from that, the coverage is fine.

You could be watching the block promo when the cricket is on
 
Almost hope that Dolgopolov wins against Monfils, so we have Hamish royally screw up his name.... or just call him the Hotdog again. Seems that the consensus is DOL-GO-POL-OV said very slowly by Hamish himself, others (Bails Zemplis?) DOLGO-POL-OV (the - represents them pausing the pronounciation). Last year it was Doglpov... they can't make up their minds.
 
The coverage really is embarrassing. Constant cross promotions, piss poor commentary, missing points, covering the same things OVER and OVER even though there are many other results and events to cover. I remember going back a few years being able to watch any court just about. Has that gone away due to these anti siphoning laws?

If so is there anywhere to leave these muppets feedback that might get taken seriously?

Comentary team complete hacks. Renee Stubbs : " Gajdosova needs to focus on hitting to Wickmayers forehand as her backhand is leathal " Wickmayer then proceeds to hit 4 or 5 forehand winners in a row !:rolleyes: Sue Smith WTF !
 
Didn't they also have alternate matches in 7two last year? Also one issue with tennis commentary is too many fingers in too many pies. E.g. Cahill commentating Ivanovic when he knows her well, Stubbs commentating Stosur who are both apprently mates, Todd Woodbridge, well he hasn't even got enough fingers to stick in all his pies (may even be going up for Fed Cup captaincy now as well). Although I think he's a good commentator.

That's perfectly good advice. Wickmayer's forehand is her less solid stroke, and she is usually beaten by players who focus on it and break it down. Just because the strategy didn't work doesn't mean it was the wrong strategy.

But y'know, don't let facts get in the way of your argument.

Can we please talk about the tennis instead of Lendl's laughable hat choice or what he does with his dogs in his spare time, channel 7?

No. We like to cater for people who have only a passing interest in the game and would therefore have a shorter tennis attention span. Hence the discussion on lighter fair such as bizarre hats. We use the same tactic in our AFL coverage by the way. Thanks for watching.
 
Their focus on that bunch of gallahs called the Herd was utterly embarrasing.. Those wanke.rs spent the whole night interrupting the chics match with their stupid pre-rehersed bullshit, and then, after the chic demolishes the Aussie girl, ll Woodbridge can talk about in the interview is "how great are the herd"..
The chic was downright embarrassed, lost for words, yet Todd three more times plugged how great they are..

Couldn't find a more self obsessed bunch of tossa's if you tried. The commentators glee with "wait for it, watch this watch this" when they hold up play to do a stupid where's Wally skit was embarrasing. International viewers, the ones that actually watch tennis for, you know, the tennis, must have been shocked by the focus on them and not the match.

Ok Harry Hopman i bow to your superior knowledge of Wickmayer's game. Wrong or right Stubbs is a hack and the majority of the Seven commentary team are deploreable.

Please, the commentary is ****ing awful for even the most passive tennis watcher. My friends all don't really like tennis, but when they watch the Aus Open they all comment on how piss-poor the commentary is. It's embarrassing.

For the record I don't like AFL commentary any more than I like tennis commentary. All a pack of spuds.

international viewers have their own commentators, although they might use the same cameras, probably.

Apparently, according to the man himself, the correct pronunciation is doll-guh-POH-lov.
For the long surnames you can forgive the mispronunciation, but the other night Hamish was calling Albert Ramos, RAY-MOS. Awful, awful "commentator".

The one that annoys me the most is "Yoh-kah-vitch".
