It’s over after 26 years! The joint career of tennis commentators Stefan Bürer and Heinz Günthardt comes to an end with the men’s US Open final. blue moderator Manu Rothmund probes the dream duo in a double interview.
Before the last joint appearance behind the SRF microphone, the popular tennis commentators Stefan Bürer and Heinz Günthardt looked back on their eventful TV careers. In a conversation with blue Sport (in the video above) they also look ahead and reveal their personal wishes for the final on Sunday between Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. The best statements:
«I’ll probably do the last sentence, but I don’t know which one yet.»
Stefan Bürer when asked who has the last word on the last live broadcast on Sunday.
«I’m sure it will shake me up.»
Who is built closer to the water, does not want or can not really reveal the commentator duo. Stefan Bürer confirms that the emotions will go up on Sunday.
«It would have been romantic to walk out into the crack of dawn.»
Heinz Günthardt on the question of whether he would like a certain scenario for the men’s final on Sunday (start of the game at 10 p.m. Swiss time). Because the rain on the covered New York Center Court can no longer ensure long breaks, it is unlikely that work will be done at such an early hour.
«Years ago we made a sketch for a cooking show.»
Günthardt and Bürer reveal that they already developed some ideas for the time afterwards while they were active as commentators. There are currently no concrete plans.
«That’s why I always have grapes and nuts in my sack.»
Heinz Günthardt explains that Stefan Bürer can get quite uncomfortable when he’s hungry – and reveals his trick.
