The evening session of the World Championship of Ping Pong also overran by an hour, and a bit more. It was due to finish by 9:30pm, but with some of the earlier matches going all the way the final did not start until just after then. That also went to a deciding fifth game so play only finished just before 10:30pm.

The United States commentary team on ESPN was Chris Fowler, Patrick McEnroe and Darren Cahill with Chris McKendry, Brad Gilbert and Mary Joe Fernandes in the Melbourne studio. ESPN did not show Jim Courier's interview with Andy Murray on court but instead Tom Rinaldi interviewed him later.

oh so i have to listen to Conor McNamara? was hoping they would use that welsh guy that does the the games for bbc wales
Ali Bruce-Ball would be preferable to McNamara though, or even taking RTÉ's commentary. |

McNamara is a decent football commentator but was awful (certinaly on tv) last year on the rugby. Could not keep up with play so resorted to inane facts during play. ABB is a bit better.

Looks about right. Is the first three weekends comms wise confirmed? As wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Patterson and/or Andy Robinson being thrown into the mixer comms wise as a 'Scottish' rep leaving Nicol to be pundit. Also depending on 5 Live assignments Butler or Cotter Could easily so Sco v Ita and Ire v Eng
The predictions for ABB are more based on the fact that McNamara is down to do Italy-Ireland - it would seem the BBC want to try out others to some extent, although I doubt that will be a third commentator being used every single weekend. |
