Blatantly plaigarising the game, but not wanting to draw too much attention away from the mens' and womens' elimination game, how about a tennis commentators/presenters elimination (this is mainly geared towards UK coverage folks) - thought it would be fun to eliminate some of our least favourite presenters.

The system in use here is a +1 -2 system.

Here goes

John Inverdale 15
John McEnroe 15
Pat Cash 15

David Mercer 15
John Lloyd 15
Virgina Wade 15
