Stubbs is sooooo much better. Since she was a real player its easier to feel she knows what she is talking about. Mary Carillo is polarizing and lacks objectivity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-70415261003110374952014-03-23T18:21:24.209-05:002014-03-23T18:21:24.209-05:00Agreed.

It's really pathetic that people find "truth" through the news media, but they do. Orson Welles got it right when he created the character of Charlie Kane; nothing has changed.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-74608681547990028372014-03-23T17:55:28.447-05:002014-03-23T17:55:28.447-05:00Carillo usually says something each tournament tha...Carillo usually says something each tournament that actually makes me laugh aloud but she can also be tennis' worst enemy. <br /><br />I cannot stand the "fans are just waiting for the men (read: real tennis) to start" thing. I know it's true of some ticket holders, but if the commentators and tournaments didn't mention it all the time we could start moving towards it not being true. John McEnroy used to be (and still is sometimes) so bad about talking that up.<br /><br />There actually are people who go to see the women play.sventenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-54420194024606827042014-03-22T22:34:23.576-05:002014-03-22T22:34:23.576-05:00I enjoyed it, too!

Davenport is often Carillo's foil, but it seemed to work better tonight with the Shriver Effect in full hold. <br /><br />Did you hear them when they said Flavia needs a month to celebrate and spend that million dollars?! They both sounded a bit stir-crazy, but in a good way.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-3593836384076558482014-03-22T21:27:04.191-05:002014-03-22T21:27:04.191-05:00On a few occasions tonight, Carillo sounded like s...On a few occasions tonight, Carillo sounded like she was working in the 22nd hour of a 24-hour work day. <i>Lucid one moment, a little bit hilariously loopy the next.</i> I rather enjoyed it though... especially when Davenport didn't quite know what she was getting at, and whether or not she was all there. It was great. <i>Maybe Pammy's longtime influence has finally taken hold.</i> :DTodd.Spikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455101522360257651noreply@blogger.com
