I almost changed the name of my blog to firehannahstorm.com because she is single-handedly ruining my Wimbledon viewing experience. I never really noticed her before but as the Isner-Mahut epic was in the process of changing stations to make space for the World Cup, Storm burst on the scene and polluted the air with an endless supply of useless, clichéd fluff and filler. While displaying hardly any tennis knowledge and shying away from any substantive analysis, her color consisted of overusing “perspective” and gushing about this or that. Hannah, this isn’t the Early Show.
When I was watching the Nadal-Haase match, ESPN cut to an interview with Isner on set. I missed most of the third set because Storm had to ask Isner the same dam questions the presenter asked him on court after his match. Guess what Hannah, Isner’s answers to those questions did not change. Thirty minutes and a shower did not give him a new “perspective.” And yes, he still felt tired.

And what kind of name is Hannah Storm anyway? Was she originally in the adult film industry? Well I looked it up and apparently her real name is Storen.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I am not the first to criticize Hannah Storm.

This is a picture I took of Isner doing what he does best at the 2007 US Open. At that time, serving and getting mini-breaks were the ONLY things he did well.
