Agreed, they do get a little verbose at times. Must say that Martina however is the best as far as breaking down the intricacies of the game. I actually listen when she is assigned a match. Have learned a few things from her.

well, exactly ... so many times I'm focused on a certain match, and then I hear 'great FH' as if I didn't see it myself. I actually choose to watch some really odd streams most of the times (like Arabic or Romanians ones) ... they blah, blah, but I don't know what they are talking about, so it doesn't really bother me as much
. Arab commentators are really hilarious, they speak like 100 words per minute, but for some reason it doesn't bother me at all LiveScoreHunter is pretty good.
it's not easy to watch tennis in Canada, we get to see masters and slams on TSN, but very often there is some stupid delay ... and God forbid about smaller tournaments ...

I have managed to find some streams on livescorehunter before that had no commentators and it was glorious. I could watch the match without all of the bs,and talking during play. I would even pay extra for the option of watching the matches with no commentators on ESPN and TC if they were to ever offer it.

Yea, she's good. Lindsey D. Is getting better too. I like that she tries to stay neutral.
It's revealing to watch the match replay, knowing in advance who won. To hear most of the commentators one sided, glib and fickle statements is hilarious.

Not a commentator.. but a player
A reporter wanted to know a little more about Sloane Stephens "inner dialogue," and what she was saying to herself while she was hammering Mattek-Sands. Was she telling herself, "This is pretty good?"
Well, yes, but as she said:
"There's always more. Because my mom is spoiled rotten, (I was thinking) she's going to want to fly home first-class or something. So I got to keep winning."

I agree. It's just nice to have some chatter sometimes, especially during some of the not very interesting moments.
Saying that, when a player nets a forehand or hits a shot wide or double faults, NOBODY needs to hear a commentator say "Ohhhh, he HAD to make that!"
Yeah... we weren't doubting you there buddy :?

I love the arabian commentators so much. If only they could do every match

lol, me too. they are just hilarious ... I guess they get paid by how much they talk ... the thing is, very often I can't get a smooth good stream in English... so I turn to whatever other stream I can get ... and some of these 'foreign' streams are great

I know it's not the French Open, but Becker's commentary after the 12 second mark slays me.

Mat Wilander after Petra Martic hit a pressure-packed second serve service winner against Bartoli on break point, serving for the match, "That'll make her grow hair on the chest" LOL :lol:

What's not funny is that Johnny Mac does not know a kid that ranked inside the top 150. If I could do what he does for a living, I'd make damn sure I know every face of every qualifier and every top 150 player out there, ESPECIALLY if they are up and coming. He makes it sound like he never saw the kid.
What's even worse is that he probably said this before his match against Roger? That's a FOURTH ROUND

^^ it's not funny after you've heard him saying it for the 50th times because I've heard him repeating the same scripted stuffs (guy looks like a ballboy, check his ID, etc.) over and over on previous days in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Kinda like him repeating things about racquet technology, strings, how it allows guys today to hit with massive topspin...blah blah blah....over and over and over, at the Australian, then French, then Wimbledon, then US Open. Rinse and repeat the following year.
McEnroe rarely has anything new to say nowaday. He tends to repeat himself to death. He's boring.

During the rain delay of the Men's Final, they were talking about what needs to be done until the court is ready to play again:
"The last step is to convince Rafael Nadal to play."
