Emma Raducanu

Oh dear, the Federalists are now in to tennis... he is right of course about the illogical nature of borders, if not about xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (censored by the Forum No Politics rule.) Lets just say that you can still have cooperation, respect, migration and trade, without offshoring your government!

Note: I said "illogical" - not unnecessary

He was doing so well till he made it political.
All I saw was a young girl achieve a young lifelong ambition to win a biggy.

 

[Voyager EMH]

Does she have a dog?
Has she ever owned a dog?
Is she intending to get a dog?
I just can't seem to find out the important stuff.

Try not to read it as a political post… it is saying we are all above this … we are global…

Shame though, I used to like the World Cup, Euros, the Ryder and Solheim Cups, the 6 Nations etc.etc.

Good point.. we may have to adapt the ways of the Yanks ... They have an MLB "World Series" that seems to feature Chicago v New York.. never a team from outside..

Seems like she's just a one hit wonder after all the hype.

Seems like she's just a one hit wonder after all the hype.

A season of injuries hasn't done her any favours at all. Not sure she was even favourite to win her first round match.

 

[Beezerk]

The blisters she keeps getting on her fingers is a bit worrying, seems to hinder her in a lot of games.
I’m sure she’ll come good soon, she’s too good not to.

She is 19 years old.

She's also only 19. That's no age still.

The blisters are an odd one. You would think her hands would have toughened up, same with all tennis players.

The likes of Graff and Becker would disagree. She's done nothing since the US open win.

 

[Orikoru]

As usual with the English media and public, the hype was massively over-the-top. From what I've seen of women's tennis there are no real standout players anymore, everyone's much of a muchness and anyone can win if they have a good week. She just happened to have her good week at the US Open a year ago. It's akin to Danny Willett winning the Masters.

No but at 19 she has time to come good again. Maybe she has peaked, but blimey give her a chance.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Blimey - if she is a one hit wonder it’s not a bad hit to have is it

Good to see the standard bashing the young sports stars is alive and well

 

[Dando]

She’s had more injuries than Darren Anderton so it’ll take time to get back some form

 

[KenL]

Seems like she's just a one hit wonder after all the hype.

She's won a major, what an achievement for someone so young.
She deserves some respect surety?

Perhaps, but at least Emma is likeable.
