The WTA finals between Aryna Sabalenka and Qinwen Zheng were being viewed by millions around the world as they anticipated the winner of the tournament. Sabalenka dominated the match and lifted the Australian Open trophy for the second time in her career. While fans celebrated her victory, one aspect of the match left them wanting more.

The tournament was covered by various channels around the world. However, the ESPN broadcast created many complaints from fans as they hounded one commentator, which made it difficult for the viewers to share his insights.

Fans lambast ESPN’s Australian Open commentator

Chris Fowler is a veteran commentator who has shared his insights for Saturday Night Football for ABC and tennis for ESPN. He has shared his knowledge of the sport many times, but he did not impress fans with his coverage in this year’s Australian Open. As the bout between Sabalenka and Zheng continued, fans found themselves increasingly more frustrated by Fowler. 

A fan said that the match has not gone on for long, but hearing Chris Fowler was torture.

Another fan talked about Fowler’s commentating skills. They said he would establish one player as the dominating force in the match with the smallest lead.

One fan tagged ESPN and said that Fowler ruined tennis for them with his subpar commentating skills. They also pointed out how he talked through an entire point and hoped that he would be quieter.

One user pointed out Fowler’s mistake in pronouncing the name of Qinwen Zheng.

This is not the only instance fans called out an interviewer from the Australian Open. John McEnroe also found himself on the bad side of fans due to his alleged bias.

Fans blast John McEnroe for blatant bias

Novak Djokovic played Jannik Sinner in the semifinal of the Australian Open. Sinner won their clash after a fantastic performance. He managed to win the first set from the Serbinator 6-1, ending it quickly. McEnroe believed that Sinner did not have to do much to win the set, and his comments made fans livid with his bias for Djokovic.

One fan called him insufferable, a few told him to give Sinner proper credit, and one went on to say that his favoritism for Djokovic was showing very clearly. Although he showed a bias against the Italian player, Sinner showed great talent to win the clash.
