Maybe less so, given the roasting she got off of Judy Murray after letting Andy down.

 

 

Have to say that was a rare misstep from Judy.

It confirmed for me that there wasn't a quiet agreement between the Murray camp and Raducanu's to use Emma as the sacrificial lamb in order to get Murray out of the commitment.

 

She's not being given the best advice, is she? Possibly thought that playing with Andy would be god for her profile given that she was going to get pumpded oot in round 1. A plan that was scuppered when her original R1 oppo withdrew.

 

I don't blame her for concentrating on the singles and would have thought that Judy, of all people, would be sympathetic to a player who's making her way back from serious injury and operations. At first, I wondered whether Judy was being sarcastic about Marcus Buckland's tweet using the word "astonishing" but, rather than clarify that, she made her social media go quiet, suggesting that she knew she's made a boo-boo.

She’s subsequently posted a tweet saying something along the lines of “it appears not everyone understands sarcasm”

Doesn't quite tally with shutting down your social media but Marcus was the one who originally used the word "astonishing" which is not the word I'd have gone for. "Disappointing" or, even, "worrying", maybe.

Humberts gone mad

Poor start from Emma but tbf this lassie, Sun, has started well.

Dreadful,  no answers to an in-form lefty at all.

[neilnunb]

Managed to get one of the breaks back so hopefully can start to get into the match.

Noticed her last couple of serves were to Sun's backhand, starting to ask the odd question.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Dearie me . The “ quality “ is so poor . 
 

I note she does that annoyong fist pump when getting even the most mundane point . Very Carlos .

Watched the Keys/Paolini match earlier, which was pretty good until Keys got injured. Apparently Keys has the hardest forehand so far at this year's Wimbledon, both women and men.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Best rally so far

Shame she got injured 

[Gizmo]

Sun is going to walk this. I'm wondering what Emma's coach told her to do, because it isn't working.

The players started to pretty much an empty stadium because everyone had gone for a break after the Alcaraz match. By the time they start filtering back in, Raducanu is 3-0 down. I mean, she's the last British player left in the singles and obviously a home support always helps. Instead the organisers rush the players on and take away a main advantage.

 

Sun playing a bit too well at the moment though.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Sun is not bad actually . First time I’ve seen her play . Course she has that leftie serve . It’s often a wonder shot for so many of the greats.

Yes flat mate just said that too , she’s no 1 Brit where’s the fans . Some nice shots from both players but all a bit bitty . 

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Two winners from Raducanu in that entire set

[Sooperstar]

Quite a strange level of dislike from a grown man towards a young and by all accounts, very pleasant lassie.

Big hold there. Sun missed an easy chance to break.

I know lots of pleasant lassies. None of them get fawned over so disproportionately in comparison to their talent/work ethic.

 

Anyway, we must be due an injury time out by now

Nail on head .

[JudyJudyJudy]

Flicked over the the Shelton v Sinner match . World of difference . Long rally’s , perfect accurate ground strokes , winner , some errors and thundering accurate serves . Well placed .

You do realise she has had 3 operations on what you seem to be suggesting are pretend injuries?

Like I said it’s all a bit bitty . Hate matches like this . Neither player playing that great . There can be some great womens matches but few and far between . Last great one I watched was Swiatek v Sabalenka at the Italian open earlier this year 

[neilnunb]

She's doing well to keep ahead in this set as she's under pressure on her serve every game.
