Why I love watching Tennis on ESPN2 and NBC:
Minutes before the start of the 2010 Roland Garros French Open, the players were welcomed and briefly interviewed by a French media rep as they reached the entrance to the stadium. The interviewer talked, in English, to Robin Soderling, who had, surprisingly, beaten Rafa Nadal in a prior match. Next was match favorite, Nadal. He said quite a bit, in rapid-fire Spanish. This all happened on live TV in high def on NBC, where it is of course unusual for the American audience to hear a lot of non-English dialog. There were no subtitles. NBC commentator and tennis legend John McEnroe, who does not speak Spanish, didn't flinch, and merrily seized the opportunity to improv, saying,"You want me to tell you what he's saying? I'm gonna tell you right now. He's gonna play he's best, he always plays hard every game, he has a lotta respect for Robin Soderling, and this is not about revenge. (laughter) How's that? (more laughter)"
