A nice example of commentator's blight. As Murray and Dolgopolov warmed up yesterday the commentator was waxing lyrical about Murray's serve. What he particularly found impressive was that when Murray missed his first service the ball was going out rather than smashing into the net. This showed, according to him, that the ball throw was just right, that Andy was stretching and getting his elbow up and hitting the ball on a desirable upwards trajectory.

Then on the first point of the first game of the match Murray serves a double fault straight into the net. No comment from the commentator.
