Sha - po - va - lov : Gotta love love the radio hosts brave attempts
When everyone from John Moore to Bryan Hayes is carefully trying to sound out the pronunciation of newest tennis sensation Denis Shapovalov, you know it's gotta be a doozy to try and say.
Considering that there's an eastern european brother duo playing in the NHL that choose to pronounce the family name two different ways, the Shapovalov stumbling is understandable.
The "emma saying" YouTube channel is a useful resource I came across today when I was sorting out how to pronounce Shapovalov. Emma's charming Heather Purdon-ish voice pronounces the word in question several times in the minute long video.
I'm not the first person on t.b.y.b. to notice people's problems with pronouncing words.
The correct way to say something is a click away, and there's lots of pronunciation YouTube channels, not just the "emma saying" channel.
It's time to take a second and get it right.....emma just saying.😎

Most people pronounce Adwoa's first name with just the two syllables. John pays her the courtesy of correctly saying it the way she does, with three syllables.
John has talked about his parents, and the way he was raised, so I think to say Adwoa's entire name properly is merely standard good manners to John, and as he speaks french, and is a voice actor/actor, he captures the melody of her name.
Sidenote re Frank D'Angelo. Is he the unofficial mascot of the big yellow board? And has he ever sold Frank D'Angelo Socks? 😎
