Wimbledon 2019 commentator slammed for focusing on Mirka Federer’s ring during final vs Novak Djokovic
TENNIS commentator Andrew Castle has been blasted for focusing on Roger Federer’s wife’s RING during the Wimbledon final.
As Federer and Novak Djokovic moved in to the latter tense stages of their final, Castle remarkably switched the conversation.
He said: “Doesn’t look like costume jewellery, does it, on the finger?”
Tennis fans were quick to blast the former GB player after he focused in on the ring.
Alison Cowie tweeted the BBC: “Please explain relevance of commentary Andrew Castle has made at todays Wimbledon final?
“Why comment on jewellery Roger’s wife is wearing?
“Why not comment on support she gives her husband?
“Why comment on what players earn? Why not mention the time spent in training?”
Christy Dandy posted: “Andrew Castle going on about money earned and now Mirka not having costume jewellery on!
