Not a great start from Emma, too tentative and thats not the approach to take against an opponent with Renatas retrieving skills.

And Konta on commentarywould much prefer Broady, Croft or Robson

Konta is just awful !

I've turned off the sound - unlistenable

 I dont mind her popping up between matches on tv segments but she offers no insights at all and becomes quite grating

The court looks super slow or is it just me?

Top class commentary;

Mullins - does your mindset change when you enter a tie break?
Konta - I have no idea

I just came on here to say the opposite. I loved her as a player and now I find her a pleasure to listen to. She has a voice that you know is attached to someone smiling and it just feels fun and summery and Wimbledon.

 

And Emma is winning so it's all good!

At least she was honest. Didn't churn out some clichéd claptrap. She did then talk about the pressures being a little different and how you have to take each point individually instead of thinking about the whole, and as we witnessed Zarazoa just melt.

 I mean its not great articulation is it? A prerequisite for a commentator. But like I said, I like her as a person and dont mind little sound bytes from her

 How can that be honest?

How many tiebreaks has she played? She might say 'no, mine never did' or 'I honestly can't remember' - but she can't say 'I've no idea'. 

And all the rest of her commentary is indeed clichéd blah-blah.

I'm sorry, she seems great in many ways, but I've seldom been so annoyed as to have to turn off the sound

 Agree, the balls are sitting up rather than going through. Have they done something to the grass?
