Grand Slam Tennis ( updated )

[I P Knightley]

Emma not having her best game but expectations on her really shouldn't be high. If she stays herself into the top 40 by the end of the year, she'll have done well. 

 

If Sakkari can establish herself in the top 16 without any stellar results, Raducanu ought to be able to do the same. 

[neilnunb]

Dimitrov has retired. Guess that makes him a fraud.  🤔🙄

Baffling that Sakkari is a top 10 player. Big hitter but that's it.

does he have a track record of bottling out?

[JudyJudyJudy]

There’s hardly any power in their shots

don’t know if you’ve noticed but the men’s game has players who stick at elite level for more than three minutes 

[Rudi Skacel]

Did not realise that was Ash Barty commentating. 
 

I like Andrew Cotter. Good all round commentator.

I’m just railing against the ‘she’s British, she’s female, therefore the BBC are going to lick her ringpiece and not be objective’ vibe 

[Sooperstar]

Game over unfortunately.

[Rudi Skacel]

Havent watched alot of Raducanu’s matches apart from this one. Is her moonballing on the backhand a usual thing?

 

I feel like she has done it alot this match and sometimes no need for it either.

Sun has just been too good today.

He's best on rugby.

 

I think he's absolutely rotten on Athletics and throws in lots of little digs.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Both commentators were good . I like that Andrew guy and first time I’ve heard Ash  commentate ..

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

frees her up for a fashion show this week at least

 

[JudyJudyJudy]

The match was pretty poor quality . Amazing that below par tennis can go on for nearly 3 hours . 

[Lovecraft]

Ah well.  She can always fall back on the doubles competition instead.

 

 

[JudyJudyJudy]

Over generous praise for ER from Sun

Navratilova v Graf ? Eh ? That was just a few years ago surely . No wonder she watched Martina, another great leftie 

[Rudi Skacel]

Sun took the inititive when she needed to on the big points. Look like she wanted to win those points, whereas Raducanu looked like she was waiting for Sun to lose the point. 
 

However I enjoyed the match. 
 

Listening to her interview, she sounds so happy. Pleased for her.

You've done well to keep your marbles James, given BJK is younger than you. 😁

She's not had that many matches overall. 

 

Moonballing wasn't a feature when she won the US Open. 

 

Very frustrating when all she was doing was drying up a few wallop for Sun.

Aw cmon Mikey...the wrist injury was a load of made up shite. She obviously agreed on  wed/Thursday to play with Murray yesterday.  Then advised that it was too close to this match. Spoiled little Canadian brat

Yep . 

[Cade]

Has Raducanu tried changing coach?

I hear that can help.

She is like that about everyone and everything tbf. All is wonderful in Clare's world. Bet she's a right cow off camera.

[XB52]

What has Radacanu done to upset the jkb massive?? All I can see is a young tennis player who obviously got fame too soon due to most of the top players posted missing from the US open. 

Honestly can't get my head round the hatred she seems to bring out on here. Can anyone explain it?

You could look at the treatment of her coaches for a start, particularly Andrew Richardson.

Only because she wants to fist her.

 

 

[neilnunb]

I can't understand how Coco Gauff, who we keep hearing is going to dominate for years, has still only won the same amount of Slams as the supposedly talentless Raducanu. 🤔🙄🤫

 

 

[Rudi Skacel]

Gauff out aswell. 
 

Cant see past Rybakina now.

Bacuse some people would rather just watch something so they can constantly critisize, demean and try and get reactions from others. Because thats where they get their enjoyment from. 
 

Hence why I just ignore them.

I’d agree . She’s overrated too . The women’s game is a mess just now really . Has been for some time.
