"Federer has won 21 out of his last 22 matches here in Marat."
--Cliff Drysdale, telling us just how dominant Fed has been.
No, I'm not making that up. He was quick to switch to "melbourne" but we all know what he meant. and freudian slip anyone?

[artlinkletter]

!! Oh Clifford!

Here they said "Berdych and Tursunov... errr Berdych and Safarova" were an item but I remind you they read MTF!

"The official count of the audience tonight is 22 289, but that's true only if 5000 of them are disguised like empty seats"

"There should be an official rule in the matches against Agassi: no short balls against him, a little respect to the old man, please!"

"Welcome to the home of Youzhny, a home built from double faults"

"Baghdatis will appreciate meter and a half longer court, the real one appears to be too short for him'

"Now back to the Blake’s match, where the things are quite interesting, even criminal"


In Bulgarian they sound a lot better, but I think you can catch the spirit

just for the record - Jordan Bojinov is the best ever!
I will try to post some new stuff from him after AO 2007

At Wimbledon around '86 or '87 Bud Collins was interviewing the winning mixed doubles team of Ken Flach and his partner (can't remember who it was). They were discussing mixed doubles strategy and Flach was saying that when in doubt go at the woman. Bud Collins then innocently asked Flach "Is that the goal: to NAIL the woman?". Flach looked at him and said "Uh, you wanna rephrase that, Bud?" and cracked up. Bud had no clue what was going on.

Hahahaha. You beat me to it! There is no possible explanation for that little mistake. Silly commentator! lol

[Metis]

^^^ perfect timing! Mine was posted first though

I think he was probably looking at the names of the two Americans in the draw that are possible SF opponents and got confused.

[Naide]

lol we heard the same great commentary

Before the match, they were talkinh about Federer and he said Federer beat Sampras in Wimbledon in 1996.

During the Hewitt-Gonzalez match yesterday, the commentators were talking about what Hewitt could possibly do to get into the match.

Armitraj was taken by the deep strong voice of the umpire of the Paes/Stosur-Allegro/Bovina mixed doubles match and couldn't stop talking about it.

- You really like his voice, don't you Vijay?
- It is absolutely amazing. He should give us a song. He is a baritone not allegro.

(Amritraj wanted to make a joke there since Allegro was playing but obviously he has zero knowledge about music )
