Henri Leconte's Commentating

[EBUS]

Is brilliant , too bad he probably wont ever commentate for 7 again after that performance.

 

[Dr Awkward]

It was great, but I dont think I would want him commentating too many matches, just some of the smaller ones.

You shoud have called this thread "Henri Leconte Appreciation Thread".

I shall subscribe to that fer sure.


My personal favourite quote by him was... "hehehe.. cen you izmagine dem ringing up fer more ballz?? Ello... we arez out of ballz"

and

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

(PS. please excuse my poor french accent )

Magnificent! Lost his shit!

Wonder if he's free to call the cricket tomorrow? Imagine him and Bill Lawry going at it!!

 

[bus24]

UNBEREEVEBLE!!!!

Amazing stuff!

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

It is unbelievable

hahahaha was my favourite as well. His commentating for that match was so loose and off the cuff, great stuff. Made it even more entertaining, the tennis was sensational though.

Someone youtube this for the sake of God I want to watch this guy, I listened to his interview the other day and if he's anything like people are describing I'd love to watch it.

A breath of fresh air.

Was thinking of inventing a drinking game involving Henri and use of the word unbelievable.

But didn't want to end up in hospital.

That was hilarious, better than being put to sleep by JA.

There are some posts making their way onto the channel 7 board re: Leconte and how they wanna see more of him...

Doubt channel 7 will actually listen. Time will tell....

Yep, 7 will listen, they have so far.

They really should put Leconte on one of the women's matches tomorrow, or even the Roddick match in the Arvo, would brighten up the coverage.

All singles matches are on RLA from now on I think, so the only way we hear him again on 7 is if he commentates with Courier (Mens) or Woodbridge (Womens, suits Todd so well).

 

[Shell]

Lol.... or one or more of the other commentators could have a little "accident".. thats another way we could get him on.

 

[Dagger5]

Great commentator.

Love his emotion and excitement.

 

[midorigreenwood]

bwahahaha leconte is one crazy mofo of a commentator....


he was actually cheering Tsonga on DURING the point

like "Come on...come on YeaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

 

[r dub 19]

come on jooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[pepsi]

SEN are going to play a grab of all his comments in the next half an hour.

 

[alfy!]

Awesome commentator. Such raw emotion :').

 

[jonesy86]

Can't believe I put the tv on mute last night after the Hewitt match.

I heard the replay of some of it on SEN and it was gold.

 

[crazyman27]

On a side note did anybody catch the classic quote from Chris Dittmar during the Almagro/Tsonga match?

"Almagro has won his last six five-set matches... in a row"

My ears started bleeding when I heard it.

 

[Xtreme]

They devoted the "optus sounds of the game" segment to him just minutes ago.

Would make a pretty cool ring/sms tone

I hope that means he'll become a regular.

 

[Gibbsy]

He's tops.

There was some crazy one like "I can't tell the difference between him and a chicken" - don't know who he was talking about though.

 

[smoovy]

In: Leconte

Out: Alexander (omitted)

I'm hoping Leaping Larry heard Henri
