Photo / APA tennis commentator's admission of ignorance has sparked an angry reaction from a veteran star at the Australian Open. Osaka dominates veteran rivalIn the first quarter-final singles contest of the Australian Open, three-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka faced Taiwanese veteran Hsieh Su-wei. Playing in her 38th grand slam tournament, this is the first time the 35-year-old Hsieh has qualified for the quarter-finals of a major. Veteran star slams commentator's ignoranceThere's no doubt Russia's Aslan Karatsev is the odd man out in the men's quarterfinals. "If I may, a commentator hired to cover a Grand Slam isn't going to automatically know every player that has never played a Grand Slam main draw, like Karatsev," the BBC's David Law said.
