Brad Gilbert once gave somebody (I wish I could remember which player) a '22% chance of winning' :lol:

I don't particularly like any of them, or I haven't heard most of them. My favourite is that Drew guy who commentates on Eurosport. He actually talks sense and doesn't say much that isn't about the tennis.

Also, I disagree. He is much better at commentating than I expected. For a start, he doesn't talk shite like most others unless the other commentator starts. Much better than John Lloyd or, god forbid, Andrew Castle.

Oh yeah, I hate Andrew Castle. What a useless, retarded douche. He shite he spouts out of his mouth is not fit to come out of a pig's arse.

Another guy I don't like is that presenter on Sky Sports. I can't remember his name, but he has a chubby face, and isn't very good either.

Also, the guy who I talked about in previous post is called Frew McMillan, not Drew something. But yeah, he is my favourite by far. Shame he only does it for Eurosport. :(

EDIT: supines, yeah. I forgot his name. :lol:

You mean Barry Cowan? Yeah he was shite. Has made a career off taking 2 sets off of sampras.

BTW i always find it hilarious whenever anyone says Henman was crap. But he is a poor commentator.

Yeah, him from sky sports. Dislike the hamster cheeked idiot so much. He is nearly as bad as Andrew Castle.

Nobody is as bad as Andrew Castle.

Most people on here could do a better job than British commentators, most of which spent their careers on the level below Challengers.

I swear at this years Queen's they had Castle and Lloyd in the studio and they captions under thier names were
Andrew Castle:- played three times at Queens club

and

John Lloyd:- reached 3rd round at Queens 1979

Or something painfully shite like that.

First. Henman was a decent player. What grinds my gears (family guy) is henman mania, being a proud scot I didnt understand the hype wherass murray is british when he wins scottish when he loses. Yh andrew castle is awful... I do love annabell croft she has awrsome legs much nicer than lloyds. P.s I love annabell croft. She is bang tidy.
