Chris Evert, the 18-time Grand Slam champion, found herself in hot water after her commentary during the Amanda Anisimova-Aryna Sabalenka Wimbledon semifinal clash drew heavy criticism from tennis fans. Despite retiring from professional tennis nearly 36 years ago, Evert remains a prominent voice in the sport through her commentary work with ESPN.
The Wimbledon women's draw has been full of surprises, and Anisimova's impressive victory over top seed Sabalenka only added to the excitement. However, Evert's commentary style during the match became a major talking point, with many viewers expressing their dissatisfaction online.
Fans Criticize Evert's Contradictory Remarks
One viewer pointed out what they perceived as a contradiction in Evert's analysis of Anisimova's performance. The fan tweeted, "Chris Evert is terrible. First it was Anisimova doesn’t have the endurance to last. Now Anisimova has worked hard in the off-season and it shows. Shut up." This sentiment was echoed by others who felt that Evert's commentary was inconsistent and unhelpful.
Was Evert's Advice Too Obvious?
Another fan sarcastically commented on Evert's advice to Anisimova, stating, "Chris Evert giving excellent advice to Anisimova: “Don’t make unforced errors.” If only Amanda would have thought of that! Genius!" This highlights a perception among some viewers that Evert's commentary offered little in the way of insightful analysis.
The backlash against Evert's commentary underscores the challenges of providing insightful and engaging analysis in a fast-paced sporting environment. While Evert's legendary status in the world of tennis is undeniable, her performance in the commentary box during the Anisimova-Sabalenka match clearly missed the mark for many viewers. It remains to be seen whether this criticism will influence Evert's approach to future commentary assignments.
