Dan Maskill and John Barrett were the greatest commentary team tennis ever heard. They had knowledge and they knew when it was appropriate to speak. I never understand why commentators are still talking through a point, as if the reason we’re watching wasn’t actually taking place in real time. Sometimes Maskill and Barrett wouldn’t even feel it necessary to talk between points, but when they spoke, they spoke with authority.
He seems to comfortable to be out there rallying and getting adjusted to the turf. Feliciano Lopez and Tim Henman are commentating. Feli is doing pretty well.
On contraire my Irish brotha from another mother... BETTER than Jason Goodall and Robbie Gould ..hmmm...not in AP's book but I respect your thoughts
John Barrett was on another planet , compared to those 2 cant compare at all, I agree 100% with Kieran
Also the painful Andrew Castle I had to mute I cant stand him lol! though Feli was good before I muted
Different styles and preferences with commentary maybe…
JB was da GOAT..he was the TRUTH..Was he the guy that said "what a simulating pass by McEnroe" during the Borg McEnroe final !
Your testing my memory, I will have to think back, it is 1.30 in the morning here, I will need another strong expresso, ask Kieran he would know
I loved listening to Robbie and Jason especially when they were on Rafa's matches, those 2 made me laugh, especially when I had to get up at midnight my time to watch matches lol! they kept me awake
He probably said something like that, the two of them were very posh and didn’t talk down to the fans, or pander to them. I like that kind of commentary. In more modern times, I loved Frew MacMillan alongside Simon Reed, Oliver Reed’s younger brother. They had the great mix of expertise (Frew) and a good co-commentators ability to ask the questions fans want to hear the answer to (Simon)…
To be fair to FAA he has been struggling with knee and shoulder problems of late
