Chris McKendry is the best of the best of the Sports Center Anchors! She is professional, articulate and doesn't need the "catch phrases" to be excellent. I would rather watch SPorts Center with her than any others! Keep up the great work! - Review by Pete Rogers
6/10
Chris is bland, but sometimes you need that. It is a refreshing voice. She is okay with highlights, but better with interviews. She is better than average. - Review by Chris

She has great knowledge of sports, a great voice at a time when all women seem to need to have a "news" voice that sound almost androgynous... She is attractive to listen to and listen to... - Review by Scott Olson

the best anchor on ESPN -
10/10
Bob Ley and her make the best combo on the network, hands down.No ANNOYING catch phrases, no uncontrollable eye brow UP-DOWNS{Stuart Scott},no need for"from the dept.of redundencey dept.",boo-yahs,etc.... and old, NOT cool hip-hop tie ins. Her delivery is smooth and consistent, and she is classy beautiful with a smile that is smply radiant. I hope her leaving ESPN IS A BAD RUMOR,Sunday mornings just would'nt be nearly informative and refreshing. - Review by p.j.

Does not know tennis! -
3/10
I can't say how she is on other sports shows, but she should not be allowed to be on any of the tennis coverage! She doesn't know the game and makes mistakes constantly when pronouncing players' names. Let her stick to whatever it is she does know. - Review by Lu
2/10
I am an avid tennis fan and will watch all coverage - day and night! I agree with your other reviews regarding Chris' coverage of this sport. She cannot pronounce the names of the players, she cannot comment on any tennis issues, she cannot even read scores. Additionally, she has been corrected repeatedly by her on-air co-hosts regarding many issues, including what happens next. I am winding down my watching of ESPN2 coverage of the 2010 Australian Open and find her a terrible distraction. She just may be the catalyst to propel me to forego cable and go with Direct TV and the Tennis Channel - which I am really NOT happy about. PLEASE keep your wonderfully reliable and expert other tennis commentators and remove Chris from this position. This is the first time I've ever voiced my opinion on ANYTHING - but it's something I'm very passionate about. Thank you for availing us amateurs with this forum. - Review by Margaret
Terrible on tennis -
1/10
ESPN, please assign McKendry to something other than tennis, I'm begging you. I agree with a previous poster that McKendry is a terrible distraction. Her pacing is awkward, her forced enthusiasm is awkward, she routinely mispronounces players' names, and she has no insights regarding the game whatsoever. Even if tennis knowledge isn't a prerequisite for her job, grand slam tennis demands at least a competent news reader who doesn't detract from the otherwise excellent broadcast. - Review by Ben
