Jose Luis Clerc on the Federer-Del Potro match:
OMG, turn off the TV, Federer is unplayable (too good) today :lol:
(and those were his exact words, with the OMG and all :lol: )
Chris Fowler about Dementieva: "You know, service yips are like herpes, no matter what you do, they're always there and they'll never disappear and you never know when they'll come back. But you know, I'm not speaking from personal experience."

In one of Jelena Dokic's matches an Australian commentator from Sky Sports 2 said about the crowd's support of Jelena: "They're riding her... They're riding her hard"
Regarding the Chris Fowler herpes quote, the greatest thing was the look on Bud Collins face. :lol: He was like "WTF did he just say?" Fowler putting Bud Collins at a loss for words.
One from last week i think it was the Nadal vs Haas match. Jim Courier said " Haas is being beaten like a redheaded stepchild! I should know.. im a red headed stepchild"

The BBC are challenging Eurosport for worst commentary team.
Bailey and Lloyd are astounded that Verdasco is hitting more winners than Nadal. They can't seem to get over it, seemingly not realising that Nadal's game is about cutting out errors, remaining solid, and taking very few risk. Consequently, his opponents almost always hit more winners. The fact that Verdasco hits the ball harder than Nadal is shocking to them.
Similarly, they are gobsmacked that Verdasco is putting up a fight. Bailey literally suggested that everyone thought Nadal would roll Verdasco in 3 sets. This is despite the fact that Fernando beat Murray and Tsonga (easily in Tsonga's case), both of whom are better hard court players than Nadal. Utterly clueless ****s. They can't seem to distinguish between Rafa being invincible on clay and Rafa being merely a good hard court player.

Simon Reed: There's a bit of a breeze on court, you can see it ruffling Nadal's hair sometimes. Not verdasco though, he's wearing so much gel in his hair it'd take a hurricane to move it.
Frew McMillan: Gel in his hair...gelignite in his arm.

amuses me no end that Lloyd is Britain's Davis Cup captain. Simply outrageous levels of stupidity on display there. Bailey used to have some sort of a clue when he commentated for Sky. He must've quit watching tennis the moment he left.

Completely agree with you, Lloyd in particular is a fucking idiot, a couple of days ago he suggested that Del Potro would beat Federer, shows how much he knows.
Then he goes on about Nadal, absolutely sucking his cock in every single line of commentary he does, it's sick.
Can anyone tell me who the older sounding guy is who commentates on Britsh Eurosport, he sounds a bit like Dan Maskell? (Whom I used to actually enjoy listening to). Not so keen on this older guy, some of his commentary is very negative imo.
It will be Frew. He is the most repetitive commentator of them all. He's been saying that Nadal is slowly making better use of his f/h since 2006.
In fact, his commentary on the RG 08 semi (Nadal-Nole) is virtually word for word what he said the year before during their 07 semi. He hates Nadal, and I hate listening to him.
Chris Bradnam, or was it Simon Reed (they're often interchangeable) wandered vaguely into a Barack Obama discussion in the middle of the Roddick-Federer match - even with the best will in the world I couldn't quite get the relevance.

Don't remember who it was, on ESPN (maybe P-Mac or Gilbert), about Rehnquist when he was facing Roddick: "If you look at his results history, calling him a journeyman would be a compliment."
German commentators during Davis Cup Germany - Austria / Schüttler vs Koubek
A: Oh my, is something wrong with the speedgun? 245! That's nearly a world record, the serves dont seem that hard, but well...
B: Sorry to have to correct you on this, but that's the time played : 2h 45min
A: Oh
