Is Mary Carillo the most biased tennis commentator EVER?

I just heard her give about 12 different excuses for why Roger Federer (her favorite player) has played poorly after the Australian Open (from taking care of his twins to getting sick, etc!) But whenever the Williams sisters play up and down throughout the year (no matter what injuries they have) it somehow always has to do with their lack of commitment or their game just being in decline? WTF? Why is she so obvious with her double standard? I mean, I know she hates the Williams sisters and lover RF, but still, a decent commentator should be able to disguise that a little better shouldn't they?

    And after the women's final, she said straight to Vera's face that she was overwhelmed by the moment. How does she know that? This isn't Vera's first Grand Slam final, and she didn't seem nervous. And even in her presser afterward, Vera said she didn't feel like she was overwhelmed by the moment, but maybe wasn't as physically strong as she wanted to be.

    She is one of them but Luke Jensen and Tim Ryan take the cake! They love Fed as well. Most of their comments were anti-Djokovic.

    I realized that they are just former tennis players sharing their knowledge of the game not reporters. I'm not sure that any of them have gone to journalism school so we shouldn't be shocked that they lack a certain professionalism we see in most tv anchors/moderators.

    she is the most annoying everrrr.

    even if you take away her offensive/biased attitude i still hate hearing her voice.

    how and why did she pass up as a commentator anyway? i guess there are no standards.
