‘Not captivating’ - was a comment from a commentator who is doing the Zverev & Fritz match. This alone tells me that they have probably never played tennis at a high level. 2 of the most elite servers we have. Quite disrespectful. Cmon be better.
Kyrgios slams commentator over 'Disrespectful' remark during Zverev vs. Fritz match

Nick Kyrgios took aim at a fellow commentator for a
'disrespectful' comment made during the fourth-round match between Alexander
Zverev and Taylor Fritz. The Australian, currently serving as a BBC analyst
while rehabbing from an injury, was not pleased with the remark made about the
match.
The former Wimbledon runner-up expressed his discontent on
social media, criticizing the commentator's understanding of the game. During
the match, Zverev appeared with a bandage on his left knee and struggled with
mobility after a fall in a previous round. The commentator’s critique didn't
sit well with Kyrgios.
“‘Not captivating’ - was a comment from a commentator who
is doing the Zverev & Fritz match. This alone tells me that they have
probably never played tennis at a high level. 2 of the most elite servers we
have. Quite disrespectful. C'mon be better," Nick Kyrgios wrote on X.
He further emphasized the context by adding, "Tour
serve quality 7.8 Zverev & Fritz both above 9. lol." When a fan
questioned the entertainment value of watching two exceptional servers, Kyrgios
responded, "Two of the best backhands on tour. Know ball."
The match between Zverev and Fritz saw a dramatic shift.
Zverev, after winning the first two sets 6-4, 7-6, seemed on track for victory
without conceding a single break point. However, Fritz mounted an incredible
comeback, taking the next three sets 6-4, 7-6(3), 6-3 to secure his place in
the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the second time in his career.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
