Chris Evert was a great tennis player, but........

...... boy does she suck as a broadcaster (she's on ESPN2's Wimbledon team). You would think someone with so many Grand Slam titles would be able to offer something resembling insight. She's ill-prepared, loose with facts and downright boring. You know it's bad when you make Pam Shriver look like the intellectual one.

And Brad Gilbert is a complete wanker: "Marin County Cilic"?


...... Anyway, cheers, tennis fans.

1. Broadcasting and athletic ability are two different skills

Bill Russell: Great player, mediocre announcer.

Billy Packer: Mediocre player, great announcer.

2. Well, she was great when she was on NBC...she always had smart comments,

always picked the winner because she knew the game so well she could tell who was playing their best...haven't heard her on ESPN, but I'm probably gonna disagree with you when I do.

3. I can't stand that Dick Enberg.....ugh

I always have it on mute when he does Serena or Venus matches....I just don't care for his commentary of them. Would love to see Serena win it again. :applause:

4. Which is why I listen to the radio coverage

Radio Wimbledon is great (as was Radio Roland Garros.) I watch Directv coverage muted.
