Would someone please tell Bruce McAveny that Raph Clarke is not a poncie Spanish tennis player. So please desist from calling him Raffa.

There is no doubt that Bruce thoght he had a winner in calling Raph Rapha.

But you could almost sense Cometti cringeing in the box everytime it was mentioned.

Reminds me of when Arnaud Clement had a good Aussie Open.. and suddenly James Clement had a French surname

They still refer to The Blake as James Blake.

I haven't heard the tennis player referred to as Jason Blake but I'd probably have to watch tennis for that to happen.

BTW the combo of Bruce and Dennis is shocking.

Commetti spends so long trying to work in his one liners and Bruce spends the next five minutes commenting on them. Just tell me what's happening on the field

The Raffa was so annoying on Friday night...made me cringe everytime I heard it. Buckley was the only one who made sense!

Really didn't annoy me, I guess it is because I have called him rapha before friday night, I didn't even know it was Nadal's nickname, on the topic, does anybody else think that Nadal looks a bit like Kosi?

I'm fine with it. To be honest I cringe everytime Rapha gets the ball. Luckily, it was unwarranted last Friday, but I must say I begin sitting on the edge of my seat for all the wrong reasons.

Nadal doesn't look like Kosi, Alicia Molick looks like Kosi.

I'm just glad he got enough of the footy that the name calling became repetitive and annoying..may there be much more of it

Seriously, who cares.

Raffa sounds cool. Regardless, lets hope we hear alot of this name this year - 20+ games hopefully!
