It did look cold!

Back in Germany now. The court in Stuttgart is a bit of a mess already- must have taken a hammering in qualifying, but there will be no grass left behind the baseline by midweek.

The volume is so low I didn't realise there was anyone commentating at first

I am sitting here, debating if there is a 'tricky end'.

There's a Shadow in Stuttgart.

ChessieFL · 10/06/2024 17:53

I watched a bit of Stuttgart earlier and could barely hear it. Then the ads came on and I was deafened! There were hardly any spectators at the match I was watching, but if a shame for the players.

Similar in Hertogenbosch (damn I hoped my phone had saved that since last year but no). The weather was even worse there.

Who is the Aussie on commentary?

Well done Hamad. Is that his coach bouncing up and down? I'll have what he's having.

A lot of digging told me it was Peter Marcato- whose bio aptly says ' the best commentator you have never heard of'. Grin

I've had a google and I see he does the AO radio which I had to resort to a few years ago because Sky took away our Eurosport Angry I really enjoyed listening to it though. They went off on all sorts of rambles much like this thread Grin

Sky really are the pits, aren't they? Grin

I do wish they would sort their sound department out.

Ramble? Us? Never.

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2024 10:33

Why show the same match on the main event channel as the tennis channel? And it's Wispa

I have found Lore v Giovanni, and Fergus :) on RB

(edited because obviously Fergus is umpiring not playing alongside GMP!)

Yeek the volume suddenly got really loud. Sort it out Sky Angry

Lorenzo looking lovely in yellow

OP posts:
Raahh · 11/06/2024 13:52

look like Matteo has had a tricky match so far.

And it's still no bloody louder.

I've been out- and have realised that they aren't actually showing that on Sky- they are showing the Raonic/Thompson match . Now - I like both of them - but they will be going back to Stuttgart, I've no doubt, when Berrettini finishes (Murray is playingHmm).

Raahh · 11/06/2024 13:54

Milos has just had some treatment, but is still winning somehow.

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2024 15:31

Well done Matteo you lovely, gorgeous man.
