Does the BBC give its journalists a special course in being annoying? Particularly egregious in this interview is her habit of asking Andre questions about Steffi, while Steffi just sits there. It works the other way a couple of times, but it's still a lousy (and sexist) technique. Both players are extraordinarily gracious and articulate through it all, and how much do I love Steffi's "baseball parents" correction?
Watch the full interview here.
