    Anybody watching and listening Halep vs Begu ?

    Is anybody watching this match, please ?

    I am looking for a contact, to email the female commentator (Is it some Sophia Amiah, or so ?).

    She was speaking about other players.

    She is terrible with her pronunciaton.

    How can she tell "Pavlyuchenkova" as Pavlyushenkova ?! SH intead of CHE (as in Chile).

    Or Bacsinszky , she is telling: "Bazhinski" . WTF ???

    This one? www.google.com/search?q=Sophie+Amiach

    Funny if she would not know names as a journeyman player.

    But to be fair, I think tennis player names can be tough to get right no matter what country you are from. Especially if we first learn them from reading instead of hearing.

    Hi Optional, thank you.

    I have just email that lady, to: travel@40-love.com

    It is probably her company.

    We will se , if she either "f***s me off, or even replies - I doubt. Most probably the email ends at a spam basket.


    It "tears-up" my ears, if I hear some commentators how they pronounce some names ...:-)

    If they do - I am switching to another channel :-). Am I normal ? Maybe (even) not ... :-)
