Victorian Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It's just silly. Nobody should have that kind of cold blooded nerve in such difficult circumstances. Massive crowd backing the other player. Other player at the gamesmanship. The upset of having to get the knee plastered up when under that pressure. Break point down and might chuck it away. With zero experience. At 18. Haha. No way. When does the real tournament start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Well done Emma our local girl from Bromley. Quite astonishing performance. I loved the way after her opponent failed to congratulate or even mention her opponent Emma's first words were to congratulate her opponent and gave her a few more mentions. Class act on and off the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Fairytale stuff. First qualifier to win a grand slam, never dropped a set, didn't even have to play a tie-break. The sky's the limit.

CJGJ Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It's easy to see she has changed her life There will be one or two UK journalists and TV commentators (never mind the LTA) who say a silent little prayer tonight as well.....just as the Murray era comes to it's close a new star comes of age The story is truly amazing given 3 months ago she was sitting her A levels ps the bet holder who has now won £30,000 for his £200 win bet will also be smiling !!!

neilnunb Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 From the Sun Raducanu then suffered a late cut to her left leg when stretching for a Fernandez shot on the backhand side. That forced her to take a medical time out, much to the disgust of her opponent who was in tears as she felt she had the momentum.

Dont think we will ever see that repeated. 10matches 10 straight sets wins , that was really the first time since her second qualifying match that she has gone to 4 i think.

She struck me as one of those people who sort of takes this stuff in her stride. Some people just know they’re good and dont really make you feel nervous that they’re not going to get there. It was never in doubt at all imo. She could seriously dominate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Fernandez's speech did feel a wee bit sycophantic and forced but maybe I'm just being horribly cynical. She composed herself really well after losing the rag a bit with the timeout. Didn't seem to be any bad blood (!) between the players. Great match - Raducanu is already a superstar.

There’s been a few huffy players in tennis . It’s nothing new . My favourite huffy player was Martina Hingis ! She was a right moody so and so and played the best ever tennis shot in a grand slam ( the underarm serve at the French open against misery guts Graf ) fabulously petulant . She’s now a happy married women and got a kid snd regularly posts about her life on social media .
