Doubting Serena



Following Lucy's pronunciation
in Moscow's summer of 2018
Australians will never be the same.

They'll be rolling the 'r' in 'arena'
and rhyming it with 'trainer'.
They'll even be doubting 'Serena'.

Lucy Zelic, commentating for SBS TV during the World Cup, got into trouble for pronouncing foreign names as foreigners pronounce them.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Michael Walker 04 September 2018

She should be commended for being imaginative. Sporte commentators are usually predictable and boring.
