Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout them folks talkin’ on that tennis channel. I ain’t never seen so many people talkin’ so fast ’bout a little ol’ ball goin’ back and forth.

Who are these Tennis Channel Announcers?
There’s this one lady, I think her name is Tracy Austin, she used to play this game, they say. She’s always got somethin’ to say, that one. She knows a lot, I reckon. And then there is this man, always talkin’ ’bout the players, his name is Bret Haber, I think. He can talk a mile a minute, tellin’ you everything that ever happened in tennis, I suppose.
Sometimes they have a whole bunch of ’em, all talkin’ at once. I seen Tracy Austin again there, and some fella named Brad Gilbert. And this other one, Jimmy Arias, and another one named Leif Shiras. And a lady, goes by Pam Shriver. Lordy, it’s a lot to keep up with.
They talk so much!
They’re always goin’ on ’bout this player and that player. Who’s got the good serve, who’s got the good backhand, whatever that is. They talk ’bout somethin’ called the “ATP World Tour Finals” sometimes. It is all happening somewhere called Turin, Italy.

One time, I heard ’em talkin’ ’bout this fella named Nick Kyrgios. Seems he’s gonna be on that tennis channel now, talkin’ ’bout the matches, too. I don’t know much ’bout him, but he sure does get talked about a lot.

What do they talk about?
Then there was another fella, they were talkin’ ’bout him playin’ the game and talkin’ on the TV, too. His name is Chris Eubanks, and they said he was an Olympian, too. I don’t know what that means exactly, but it sounds important, don’t it?
They say these folks, these tennis channel announcers, they’re our “guides” to the game. I guess that means they help us understand what’s goin’ on. They sure do try, bless their hearts.
I heard ’bout one named Adam Bobrow, he doin’ some kind of table tennis thing. Makin’ it fun, they said. He got some kind of move called “the snake.” Sounds kinda silly to me. I don’t know why a grown man need to do something like this, but maybe it is fun. Who knows.

Tennis on Nine
And then, there’s somethin’ called “Nine’s” tennis coverage. They got a whole new bunch of folks talkin’ ’bout the tennis over there, too. They are Rebecca Maddern, James Bracey, and Tony Jones. Then they got even more helpin’ ’em out: John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Sam Smith, Todd Woodbridge, Lleyton Hewitt, Alicia Molik, and Jelena Dokic. That’s a whole mess of people talkin’ ’bout tennis!
These tennis channel announcers, they are so important, huh? They tell us all about the score, who’s winning, who’s losing and many other things. It is really important work for people who like to watch tennis.
More about Tennis
Sometimes they talk about some match between people I never heard of. Like this one time, they were talkin’ ’bout “Jackson Withrow / Nathaniel Lammons v Ariel Behar / Adam Pavlasek.” I don’t know who any of those folks are, but they sure were excited about ’em playin’ on the Sky Sports Tennis. But I don’t care about who play, I only care about the tennis channel announcers.

Well, I guess that’s all I know ’bout them tennis channel announcers. They sure do like to talk, and they sure do know a lot ’bout that tennis game. I still don’t understand most of it, but it’s kinda fun to listen to ’em go on and on, ain’t it? They work so hard, explainin’ all the details. I just hope they get paid good money.
Anyways, gotta go now. My stories are all told. Hope you enjoyed it. And remember, them tennis folks, they work real hard, even if it just looks like a game to us. Maybe next time I will learn more about tennis.
