I wholeheartedly agree with the above and can only echo what I said earlier in the week about today's commentary. Jo Durie also excellent, though that always is the case.
I don't want to speculate too much, but Chris Bradnam and Miles Maclagan haven't appeared since the Hurkacz v. Medevedev quarter-final on Wednesday. It's quite possible they are in isolation or something since working together then. That would explain the sudden promotion of Naomi and the Simon Reed solo commentary yesterday.
Also, I haven't seen much of the studio coverage, but I thought Rachel Stringer has done well. An upgrade on Alizé Lim for sure, though I think I still prefer Barbara Schett as anchor (though understandable that she is in Australia alongside her Australian husband for this event).
