I guess because I haven't been following tennis, I didn't know about this "hate" you are talking about. The announcers seemed ok....
Yeah the announcers are OK. The hate I hear is from fans. Part of it may be residual from her beating Oudin last year.
Now i cant really say whats being said on the US channels as im not the US but every time you see McEnroe or lets say someone from the ESPN talk about her, they down play her ability and atribute it to eighter luck or bad play on the opponent and i just dont bloddy understand that.
Take an example: The match Wozniacki had prior to today, the american broadcasters who was broadcasting for the channel Eurosport were butching her for everything. Not only did she win because she started on the easy side (wind issues), every remarkable shot she had during the game had something to do with the wind and when she had a bad shot, it had nothing to do with the wind.
This was just one issue where you could see, that because she plays a fundementaly sound style of tennis, she gets unreasonbale amount of flakk.. and ill bet you that her win today will be seen as Sharapova clearly being better but just had one of her most awfull days, even though taking major risks were clearly apart of her gameplan comming into the game.
Im not biased when it comes to tennis, so even though im from the same country as Wozniacki i could care less how she does, as long as i see some good tennis, its all good.. and i cannot agree with the assesment that her style should be boring because she takes less risks than her oponent.
And here i am ranting.. its late!
