Nine doing a bad job in terms of commentator selection, main channel with an Aussie right before 6pm news and using some American?
Seven at least used to always (try to) use their or some Australian commentator, seems lazy and plain IMO.
Some criticisms of Nine: no live bug with the watermark and it seems the commentary isn’t linked in with hosting. They’re just using the world feed.
But isn’t the world feed usually pretty good? One hate I had for Seven’s coverage is that the local commentators are worse than the world callers.

Good. I prefer that Channel 9 presenters don’t become Tennis commenators like Zemplas and McLachlan on Channel 7

Seb Costello hosting on 9Gem.
Give me a professional tennis commentator over Joanna Griggs any day.

Pretty sloppy first segment for the evening session. We missed Barty’s opponent walking out, and then commentators audio cut out mid conversation.
Epic fail

Ask again in a few days at least, perhaps Saturday week.
SOrry about that. I stuffed up the poll.
What do you think of 2019 Australian open?
- Supercharged
- Rather have it on Channel 7.
- Started off well but gets boring at the end.

Fee days? 
No worries, worthy question for later in the tournament.
My stupid phone has updated a dictionary which is anything but predictive, occasionally amusing constantly frustrating.

I like the presentation but no Live is a bit confusing
Why does it need live? There is a clock on the court showing the time, so it’s not hard to workout?
