Sports Broadcasters Around The World Need To Take Note Of This Belarusian Commentator Belting Out "Eye Of The Tiger" On Live TV After Aryna Sabalenka's Win Last Night At The US Open

You're taught in broadcasting/journalism school to never show bias with your work. No cheering in the press box, no smiling, no nothing. Any wrong movements and they'll douse you with gasoline before tossing a match in your lap. Just keep it down the middle and be fair to both players. 

Yeah, in Belarus they say the hell with that. 

You hear that? That's the sound of Jake Marsh cutting off his ears and spontaneously combusting. This might be the beginning of his villain origin story. I'm just picturing the Chris Benoit intro music playing in the background as he seethes in anger. 

The imagery of Madison Keys leaving the court while this dude belts out "Eye of the Tiger" is laugh out loud funny. No disrespect to her, I wish she pulled out the dub, but funny is funny. This man sat through a rollercoaster thriller of a match and let it all out when his girl came through. 

I always see tennis fans get on the American commentators Pam Shriver and Chris Evert for how they favor players like Coco, Serena, Osaka, etc. Well they don't hold a candle to this man. What a homer. I'm not sure who's a bigger fan of Sabalenka, him or Dave. 

P.S. It's a shame Dave can't get tomorrow for the final. Him in Sabalenka's coaching box going nuts would be all-time.
