I agree he's ok as a presenter, but as a commentator both he & Castle treat the viewer as if they are stupid & haven't a clue about tennis.

Wow! Those last couple of games, Kerber was fantastic

Fiderer · 09/07/2016 15:17

I like a mixture of the technical/percentages stuff and the his/her backhand/forehand is stronger or weaker more personal info.

Moon on a stick really Grin JMac is good, Tracey Austin too, is she there this year? Have only been dipping in an out.

BagelGoesWalking · 09/07/2016 15:17

Sam Smith is good and I like Jim Courier's commentary

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 09/07/2016 15:22

Kerber's looking really stressed out. Maybe it's just "focus".

I just heard a "Miss Kerber".

Hi Fids

Fiderer · 09/07/2016 15:25

Hi Hearts Would so have loved to have been in the UK for your debauchery (cos it was)

JuanPotatoTwo · 09/07/2016 15:31

Tracey is here, yes. Is there anyone who likes Inverdale's commentary?

UnGoogleable · 09/07/2016 15:31

Wow Kerber is fiery and fierce. SHe's fighting hard for this.

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2016 15:32

Oooh, marvellous point!

Ooh this is gripping

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2016 15:33

Inverdale, presumably Juan. Grin

Are Serena and Patrick Moratoglou (prob spelt that wrong) an item? They were at one point weren't they?

UnGoogleable · 09/07/2016 15:34

I don't normally get into the Women's singles, particularly when Serena's playing because it often just seems so one sided.

But this is exciting stuff!

DramaAlpaca · 09/07/2016 15:34

I believe so, Juan.

CremeEggThief · 09/07/2016 15:35

I don't think they are any more, but who knows. -I reckon they're on and off--.

Oh dear, Angie.Sad

JuanPotatoTwo · 09/07/2016 15:36

I think I said on the other thread that I heard Inverdale and Peter Fleming commentating on a match at Queens. Every single thing Inverdale said, Peter disagreed with - it was so clear John was annoying him!

SealSong · 09/07/2016 15:36

Amazing. Well deserved. Very well played by both.

CremeEggThief · 09/07/2016 15:36

Well done Serena. Lovely embrace from both women there.

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2016 15:37

Oh well, that ended all of a sudden.

Excellent match to watch. I'm glad it was a good one.

Well done to Serena; it is a marvellous achievement.

Ah well there we go.

Goodness Angie looks tiny next to Serena.

DramaAlpaca · 09/07/2016 15:39

That was a very good match.

Well done Serena.

Fiderer · 09/07/2016 15:39

"Sign of frailty" ?

UnGoogleable · 09/07/2016 15:41

I think I jinxed it - after my comment it suddenly became very much one sided!

Nice to see Serena hug Kerber at the end there, she seems like a genuinely nice person.

hugoagogo · 09/07/2016 15:42

Ah pants! I wish Serena would retire- she makes women's tennis so boring.
