Who is SUE BARKER and what did say about Fed that has his fans so angry and upset?

Question

I read on another board that she is a commentator or something. Where? For what venue? What did she say? Was it so disrespectful?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what she said, but Sue Barker is a former professional tennis player from the U.K., ranked as high as #3 in her career, and  was the 1976 French Open women's champion.  As a commentator, she has been known to be a bit sarcastic, so she probably said something facetiously that came across as offensive to some people (a.k.a. Federer fans).  People need to lighten up!

Answer 2

lets look into this...im sure whatever it was Sue said should be true but only it was delivered too straight for disgruntled Fed fans...where can we find that out?

Answer 3

This is Sue Barker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arcobaleno/... She's a former player and currently a commentator for the BBC in the UK.

From what I could tell she didn't say anything controversial or disrespectful about Federer. She just wasn't piling on the praise on Federer like her American counterparts. If Federer gave a performance worth praising today I'm sure she would've sounded better to those who were offended.
