Emma Raducanu

Wonderful performance, she's got a fantastic future ahead of her.

 

First and only player in the modern era, male or female, to go from the qualifiers all the way through to win it.

Whatever comes after, that was an incredible achievement.

Go girl!

 

A truly astonishing achievement. To come through qualifiers, and play ten matches without dropping a set or even going to a tiebreak, to win a Major in only your second big tournament, aged 18, is just mind-boggling.

She's become an overnight superstar. Given her talent, looks and personality she is going to be a massive media and commercial target. Let's hope she's able to cope with the pressures and concentrate on further developing her already formidable tennis skills.

 

I'm feeling argumentative today, which is normally a bad sign. Let's take the thread on a different tangent.



I don't know who this bloke is but he seems an attention seeker and a clickbaiter having had a quick read of his social media. He's not the only one whos gone down this road, halfwits like David Schneider another who spends his spare time looking for likes and retweets. I mentioned the other day that this growing industry of 'racism' will never be allowed to be wiped out and this sort of click baiting for the posters own benefit proves why. A momentous achievement hijacked for political purposes. Sign of the times I suppose

 

Until it was mentioned by the race baiting, obsessed liberal left wing social media mob, I honestly never even thought her immigrant background. She was, and is, just an 18 year old prodigy who's achieved something remarkable and looks to have an amazing future ahead of her. Why can't that be enough? Why can't sport just be about sport?

 

400/1 to win before the competition kicked off. I'm hoping her friends and family piled on the cash! Great to watch. Are people having a go that she was born in Canada, to a Chinese mother and Romanian dad? Doesn't suprise me really. Sadly that's how it is these days.

She's also great to look at too! (I guess that's sexist).

 

Wouldn't go driving through any tunnels if I were you mate.

 

Was she 400/1? Bloody hell, what an achievement.

Nothing sexist about remarking on someone's beauty. Apparently she just got a couple of A's on her A levels too. Smart, talented, beautiful. The world's her oyster!

 

Yes for sure she's got the future in her own hands. Imagine waking up the next day, with the win sinking in...and then realising you're also a millionaire. Happy days and good luck to her!

 

Agreed. Just seeing her with the A listers in New York at some event, I was thinking the same.

 

Hopefully she has a good family support system behind her. Always crucial in keeping young superstars grounded and humble.

 

Watching BBC news test night I was angered by the woman referring to Emma's marketing ability as though she was a product rather than an 18 year old tennis player.
I just hope her family support her as she copes with her new fame.

 

As someone on the radio said - how lucky was it that she remembered to pack that Chanel dress before she left England for the US open

 

I'm pretty sure she was getting loads of freebies sent her way straight after the final whistle. She's young, attractive and talented, she won't be short of offers. However - IF she did pack that dress before she left England, then that just underlines her winning mentality
