Emma Raducanu

She is, but the mike or it’s actually quieter than others is making it acceptable.. I cannot stand it, it’s why I don’t bother with women’s tennis.

But if it's the mic why is the sound of the racket hitting the ball so much louder?

Because the 'grunting' is not very loud ............................ ssssshhhhh.

It's now put up ir shut up time in the first set. Let's see who plays the best when it counts the most.

Every single serve from the top end sounds like a let to me. There’s a weird second noise after every serve.

I guess it's going to have to be MoTD on the laptop tonight. I'm not turning the tennis off.

I thought that as well. A strange click as it passes the net as if it's clipped the top of the net.

Great first set from both players, both of them going for everything.

Nice to see Raducanu taking her chance when it came to wrap up that set, deffo went up a gear in that final game.

Glad I’m not just going mad. Presumably the net mic is just super sensitive and picking up the passing ball.

May be their is some frequency modulation and your getting an enhanced racket noise. But like others are saying it sound like net cord as well .. I wonder if that is a by product?
Dunno, acoustics is not my main engineering topic though I just have had some dealings with some very knowledgeable people.

 

[harpo_72]

Ah it could be an echo the net noise

I'm getting that, too. Very strange.

 

[Slime]

She's looking good right now.
Go Emma.

 

[upsidedown]

Been some fabulous tennis

 

[Slime]

Best womens' match I've seen for a long time.
In fact, best match I've seen for a long time!

It's the sound of the server landing after their serve. It's taken me 90 minutes to figure that out.

Glad it’s not just me

Fernandez's face seems very loose in the slow motion shots.

Very whiny now, almost as if Raducanu is faking a bleeding leg.

Yeah, she's not coming across very well.
