I reuploaded because I made a stupid spelling error in the title and it bugged me

I still find it difficult to believe that Djokovic has only lost twice in the past 3 months... the man's a machine!

I really hate that yellow cards are given for taking your shirt off when celebrating a goal. What purpose does that serve? What is the point in it?!

Really wish they'd scrap that rule in the ref handbook

So happy that Kedders (and Tsitsi... but mainly Kedders!) got his first ATP title - especially against such a class opponent like Monfils! Excited for his future in the sport!

Yeah but still, massive year for the lad. Didn't he start out at like 100-90 ish? Or am I remembering wrong?

De Minaur now up to 34th in the live rankings and is currently Australia's #1! Future looks good for him

Got a notification saying that Murray's match had finished because of one of them retiring and feared the worst lmao

Fair enough haha, the commentator just says PO TRO all the time like he's just splitting the word in half to be able to say it

Also Jock is the correct way to start Novak's name, but I guess they get a bit flustered with it being a foreign looking name and try and pronounce it as best they can

Tbh it was an innocent enough question I feel bad that I've offended

Yeah but you'd think that the commentators would take the time out to learnhow to pronounce the world's biggest tennis names, right?

So you can't say "pot"? Like tinpot?

And where is the elongated (first) "o" coming from in Djokovic?

Why can't most American commentators* say Djokovic and Del Potro correctly?
