I and many of my friends think this is the most amazing TV coverage ever. Only the US Open has maybe as much.
However….What does Dick Enberg have to do with tennis? He doesn’t stop talking for a minute and he says the wrong things…we couldn’t stand him last year either. Everyone else is so much more informed and they talk tennis …not scores as Enberg does over and over…Then you could tell Dyrsdale to not talk so much either.Thanks for listening and thank you for the telecast. Darren Cahill is absolutely charming and involved…
