How would you pronounce Goffin? As in coffin? McEnroe during one of his rambling chats with Sue Barker pronounced it Goe Finn. Nishikori seems to be "in the zone". EDIT: Phew. Although not over until the lady sings. ..if there's an alternative way of pronouncing a players name you can guarantee Mac will find it and use it.... |

If he's French it will be GOH-fan. If he's Belgian, you'll need to ask Janne. Either way, it's nothing like Mac pronounces it!  |

He's Belgian so have absolutely no idea  . But McEnroe pronounces Djokovic .... Joke ovich. It's fascinating how he mangles these words/names. Enjoyed the matches today - what I saw of them, anyway. EDIT: According to a Youtube clip it's pronounced how you say coffin. |

He's from Liège. So he's from the French speaking part of Belgium.

I think that's right, Miranda. Sounds French. Goh-Fan.

I wish the commentators would stop going on about Serena W. It’s men’s day today!!!

B. AGut is having a torrid time at the moment! I read in the paper he had his stag do scheduled in Ibiza this week and all his friends were there already, so they have flown over to London to see the match.

Sue Barker and Inverdale already had Djokovic winning this match before a ball had been played. Yet Agut has been on the winning side three times in their ten match history.

B. Agut has won the second set! If its him against Rafa in the Final, do you think the King of Spain will fly in?
Just a quick moan.... All that flipping fuss about Murena, I didnt realise until yesterday that we still had a British couple in the Mixed! They got no mention whatsoever that I heard. They are out now but they lasted longer than Murena.

I cannot believe the way Sue is going on and on and ON about Federer vs Nadal at every break in this match! It's really pretty disrespectful to Jokkers and B Agut in what is turning out to be more of a battle than most were probably expecting.
