Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

Yes, he does. Glad to see I'm not the only one. In addition to rambling on while play is taking place, he seems to fancy himself as a wordsmith of sorts, and an amusing raconteur. Unfortunately this image is undermined by constant vocabulary misusages and malapropisms, in addition to a seeming unfamiliarity with how the scoring system works (a couple of occasions) or the most elementary aspects of the cultures where tournaments are held (He believed a young female lineswoman "must be as cold as I am!" when she was simply wearing a Muslim headscarf!!) He is almost (but not quite) as irritating as Adel al-Shaty on al-Jazeera sports!!

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

He just talks and talks and talks. He basically only states what is happening with the score ect but does it so long winded

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

Does anyone know what has happened to him? He hasn't commentated for a while now. He was commentating nearly every premier tournament at the beginning of the year and has disappeared. Maybe burnout lol

I think Andrew Krazny is commentating the final today.

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

I'm glad he's not commentating anymore, he's really annoying.

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

It was Kevin something-else today and he's almost as bad as Skinner.

Pretty sue he said 'As Maria Sharapova goes up 4-2' during today's match

Re: Rate a commentator: Kevin Skinner

That's Jason Goodall (working with Kevin Skinner).
I like him too but he normally does ATP.
