Message: For plod's sake. Why does the Channel Nine US Open Australian commentary team make us look like a backwater in refusing to learn the correct pronunciation of players' names.

Message: My handmaidens have conducted further research and it seems that in Danish, the name Wozniacki is pronounced VOZ-NEE-A (as in Argentina)-KEE. However, there is no excuse for 'W' replacing the 'V'.

Message: Chivas for Brains,
You're not only a splosh pioneer but a comedian to be reckoned with - 'imaginary playmates'. Scintillating stuff! 'Swinging in the breeze'. Wowee!! Downstairs! Upstairs! Ouch!
Message: Couldnt agree more Infidel. Im not a huge fan of tennis, but come Grand Slam finals time Im like a lot of people, I like to watch the sport at its best.
What a joke to think people are so gullible to swallow the delayed telecast and expect them to tune in.

Message: Tigger,
For those who don't have Foxtel then they're happy to watch the delayed telecast but that works fine as long as you don't listen to a radio update etc.

Message: Lol, of course it would Jones. Who in their right mind would want to watch a Grand Slam final live when there's far more quality viewing to be had with the Today Show
Why stop there, lets delay the NRL and AFL GF's until after 7pm when everyones home.

Journo (to Wozniacki): and finally, there's been quite a bit of discussion about how to pronounce your surname and I'm hoping you can help resolve it once and for all. Is it pronounced Wozniacki or Vozniacki?

Message: Tiggsy,
For those who don't have Foxtel, many of those people still enjoy watching the delayed telecast. You do understand that is quite reasonable don't you and that I'm not trying to bat for delayed telecasts.
