Yes, please! And quit interviewing players in the tunnel before the match. It doesn't add anything. And the athletes can't enjoy it--it forces them to break their focus at a crucial moment, especially if they don't speak English as a first language. Can you imagine someone interviewing Olympic figure skaters just before they step out on the ice?
I don't go much for the tunnel interviews either.the questions are nonsense. The non English speaking players do very well I think.I was impressed by quite a few of them.I really like Chakvetadze.As far as interviewing in the stands--it's been going on for years & happens plenty in other sports such as basketball & having a "guest" in the booth during a golf tournament. There were comments about the Seinfeld interview & the Trump interview(what is with that hair of his?) but only kudos for the interview w/Monica Seles.I think it all depends on whether or not the interviewee is on the list of favorites--or not.
