  • Ignorance is bliss

    Three media people who believe commentating on tennis qualifies them as experts. Filled with feminist platitudes. And all they do is whine about late finishing matches without any realisation of how fortunate they are to make a living the way they do.

  • Battle ? Of the Sexes

    For what it’s worth this got ZERO attention in the States! Nobody knows who either of those people are the NFL playoffs are being decided so any presumption of negative impact on women’s tennis is just wasted breath

  • Leave out Politics

    The gents are great. Catherine’s narcissism can’t be held down though. The childless one is a tough listen and constant victim of the patriarchy. Just ask her. Find a week when she can’t make the show and you will be better off.

    Now tennis isn’t addressing climate change? This has become unlistenable. Please bench the cat lady who desperately needs a mate.

  • Good but stop swearing

    Appreciate the commentary; don’t appreciate the swearing; I don’t like the anti-Laver cup attitude but aside from that, they are great.

It's good. I didn't know whether I would enjoy it, whether I would miss tennis, and how I would fill my days, but I've been really enjoying it and love being a dad.
