Jovanovski to upset Kuzzy or Cetkovska to upset Vinci?
Think we have a winner for the highest moonball of the year award to Cetkovska!

Cetkovska in danger of ruining Vinci's 3 set bet so she decides she has to hand it to her.
Vinci's demeanour right now is that of a player tanking a set in an international event. This is the French Open!
Anything is indeed possible. Jovanovski just went from 30-30 to 15-40!
wow... awful smash at 15a followed by awful drop shot at 30-40
vinci sounds like the romanian women selling roses on UK roads
How is Pfizenmaier pronounced? I am sure it's getting butchered here.
6 seconds behind the market. So that's at least 11 seconds behind.

Like Pfizenmaier
Been more discussion about name pronounciation and hair colours than tennis so far from these two commentators.
Haven't agreed with you much lately SoA but that's exactly what i was thinking. She looks alot more sluttier tho.
SoA, I reckon she looks about 10 times hotter than normal.

Are you watching on Eurosport? If you are in UK watch on ITV, far better commentary.
Though you just were talking about ITV, so mainly you are moaning about them lol.
Yep. ITV. Been very hit and miss coverage so far. Mostly miss.
Pfizenmaier looks like one of the young slappers you get round my town on a Friday night.

Eurosport's coverage is all miss.
When does Aga play a good opponent, because she looks so vulnerable here.
ARad doesnt have any weapons. She just gets the ball and is good at it.
Oh she plays mug Ana next round. Can mug Ana really be trusted.
Really? Because A-Rad has won their last 5 meetings in 2.
They're mid-level women - like surface makes a difference! h2h on clay is 2-0 to A-Rad.
Of course surface makes a difference. Aga can't defend on clay.
ana despite her usual mini chokes on 2nd set, is on btter form than aga

Much better form.
Schitzenmaier needs to get the ball over the net more.
and more than that aga now happens to put on a face, every time a tough point or rally goes against it, as if she was to own it just because she's out there
far different from her fighting spirit that helped move up the rankings
Aga will tank in Roland Garros anyway at some point to save herself for 5th slam Eastbourne.
Points should only be overruled by the umpire if he/she is certain, not if they have to go and check and then are not sure.
To be fair, hawkeye called it 1mm in but it's only accurate to 4mm so it may well have been out!
Brunette Aggy = wife material
Blonde Aggy = non-wife-but-I-would-more material

Quite poor that these Eurosport commentators have obviously never seen Pfizenmaier play before. You'd think they would have watched some matches of hers in preparation. Can you imagine John Motson commentating on a football match and not knowing who eleven of the players are?!
edy, feel free to use your cheat thread to look up the two remaining pics - I know exactly where you were looking (both players on the same page) and I don't think the pics in question are there

yeah except it's MUCH easier to get video of football teams
I've watched a ridiculous amount of tennis and never remember watching Pfiz
I've only ever seen her three times. Short glimpses at RG against Garcia and Azarenka and one full match few weeks ago against Petrova in Stuttgart.
It's really no cardinal sin to have never watched her, even for a tennis commentator.

I think they showed Pfiz in Stuttgart a few weeks back, in fact I'm sure about that.
if it was like a top 20 player or something then SorA has a point
yeah, it was the Petrova match, just looked it up. she played very well.
She's 121 in the World. It's like Motty commentating on a Conference North/South team, which would rarely get onto Motty's radar.
Yes I watch a ton of tennis and have watched Pfizenmaier twice ever. Once was when I had about 5 matches going when she played Garcia last year, and the other was against Petrova in Stuttgart.

Which in the case of Inverdale is true. Inverdale didn't even know Azarenka grunted last year and she was world number 1 at the time .
Very true. He's a very good host. But he knows nothing about tennis and shouldn't be hosting this event.
I assume he is a good host on rugby. I hate him hosting tennis. I like some who at least clearly watches tennis, even if they are rubbish (Croft lol). Buckland on sky is a pretty good anchorman though.
Inverdale can be pretty painful when discussing players with Courier and the likes because he'll say things that are just ridiculous things to say.

Adrian Chiles is the most annoying sports host ever. He knows nothing, but is well aware of that fact, and trumpets it loudly. It seems like he is paid to be the ignoramus that puts **** questions to the supposed experts for the benefit of the armchair fans.
Adrian Chiles was great presenting Working Lunch years and years ago. It was clear he knew his stuff. But he seemed to get a job doing sport simply because he was a West Brom fan. Quite how he's kept it is beyond me.
Not only kept his job but been PROMOTED from MOTD2 to main ITV football anchor. 
There's one reason and one reason only that I love him on ITV. Because Roy Keane has utter disdain for him and how little he knows. Some of the things Keane says and particurlarly does - his body language - is TV gold.
Hah, yes, although Keane also frequently likes to be argumentative or controversial just for the sake of it imo.
