Who is the man sitting next to Pat Cash?
Nice to see Tiffany Cherry hosting the coverage. An OG Fox Footy reporter.

Is this the most thrown-together production of a sporting event on television. The graphics are obviously made and scored in excel and the main camera of the court is stationary and often misses shots in the bottom corners.
It’s because the organisers (Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club) outsourced the production. SBS only provides the broadcast.

In the host position David Basheer, in the commentary position Dave Culbert (probably comparing notes on COVID conspiracies between points).

Day out to defend overall title as Iron Series returns to Sydney’
Defending champion Ali Day will look to keep his overall title hopes alive when the Iron Series returns to Sydney for the third and fourth round this weekend.
Day went winless through the first two rounds after slicing his toe open but still managed to place following treatment, and currently trails Matt Bevilaqua and Ben Carberry on the ladder.
The four-time Nutri-Grain Series champion will hope for a better outcome at Maroubra Beach, though the Super Sprint and Survival formats only complicate his chances.
Meanwhile, Georgia Miller will seek success of her own in the Ironwoman Series, with the current Australian champion sitting top of the ladder after the first two rounds in Manly.
Miller’s performance was a testament to her determination and recovery, having been only six weeks removed from a hamstring tear.
Lizzie Welborn will form her main rival in the forthcoming rounds and will rely on her local knowledge to steer her out of second place and towards the top of the pile.
All the action, complete with commentary from former Ironwoman Candice Warner, will be shown live on SBS and SBS On Demand this weekend, with coverage of Round 3 beginning on Saturday, January 14 from 1pm (AEDT).
Round 3 & 4 | Sat 14 Jan + Sun 15 Jan | Maroubra Beach (NSW)
Watch on SBS and SBS On Demand from 1.00pm – 3.00pm AEDT

In recent weeks I saw promos of Nutri-Grain Iron Series on SBS Food at night. They said something like “watch the action this weekend on SBS”, when the race was not even on. The promos should have been amended to show the correct dates for upcoming events, such as the one this weekend.

What did you mean by it, first I have heard anything to that language.
Cash is a prominent anti vaxer and proponent of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID infections to the point of admitting to taking it himself and Culbert was a prominent keyboard warrior in his criticism of Victoria’s approach to managing the pandemic.

How is that a World Cup???
There is an FFIA club world cup as well. TBH i thought FFIA stopped doing it.
Good to see the club WC on free TV. Next tournament will be expanded to 24 teams. Fans are calling it the World Super League

Of course when the mighty Chelsea FC won the FIFA Club World Cup last year, there was no free to air coverage.
