Tennis Broadcast Dominated By Commentator's Loud, Wet SnackingIt was difficult to pay attention to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga’s big 7-6(6), 6-3 win over Kyle Edmund in Marrakesh today, because much of the second set was dominated by the commentator’s ASMR-style munching.

Alexander Zverev And Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Go Down In Big Upsets

Both the superstars in utero—Alexander Zverev, fresh off his first Masters title, and Nick Kyrgios, dealing with a hurt hip—drew tough first-round matchups. One flamed out while the other sailed through in straights, but the results reversed expectations: if you couldn’t identify the very frustrated...
