Emma Raducanu

Re: Emma Raducanu

Rafa Nadal has been mentioned already in this thread I believe, but the truth is that, if anything, Emma Raducanu, as an eighteen year old qualifier, was more dominant in winning this tournament than Nadal was in winning all those French Opens when he was at his peak. It’s an incredible achievement and, surely, it’s not going to be a one off - even if is, no one can ever take this exceptional achievement away from her.

Sport once again proves its ability to dumbfound anyone who thinks they’ve seen it all.

Bleeding LOL

So she wasn't bleeding? Struggling to see your point here.

Mixed quality final, hard to gauge the level really but you definitely can only beat what is in front of you.

If it is a one off it's a pretty special one.

But I agree I can see her winning more. Probably quite a few more.

Even Leicester's Premiership win pales into insignificance

We do like to "adopt" people that are good at sport though.

Play for your national team because one of your grandparents had that nationality.
Play for a national team because you have lived somewhere for 7 or 8 years. Truly adopt a star.

How is this 'adopt a star'?

The magic of her story is that she has won from nowhere. She was hardly known six months ago, when she was also competing in tournaments as a Brit.

She milked it. Long after the plaster was placed she was sitting there working on her breathing.

Thought you’d given up drinking? 🤣

He probably had a score on Fernandez.

It tells you what an achievement it was when it’s the lead story on SSN, ahead of Ronny scoring 2 on his return debut

Quite amazing to read his comments. Every commentator and pro I've heard all said the time out was enforced, posters on here have tried to re-echo what was being said by those who know the game, yet JR stubbornly believes his own opinion, despite the evidence demonstrating he was talking out of his arse again.

A bit like the City adopting a Jock supporter. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I couldn't remember her working on her breathing, so I went to the replay on Prime and timed the break in play

From the time she first reported it to the umpire to the time she went back to serve again was about 3 1/2 minutes which is well within the time allowed for a medical time out (which was in fact not actually called for a while until the medical technician had confirmed there was a problem and from this point it was about 2mins 30 seconds before she went back). After she had the bandage put on you saw the medic give the leg a final wipe over. The shot then cut away and and within 18 seconds you saw Raducanu walking back to start serving. At no point in the time since you saw the medic give that final check did you see any pictures of her "working on her breathing".


And just to confirm the rules about blood here is the Grand Slam rule on medical time outs.
From the 2021 Official Grand Slam Rule Book Grand Slam Tournament Regulations
Article 1 General Section W Players rest/Medical Part 3f Bleeding

If a player is bleeding, the Chair Umpire must stop play as soon as
possible, and the Sports Physiotherapist must be called to the court by
the Chair Umpire for evaluation and treatment. The Sports
Physiotherapist, in conjunction with the Tournament Doctor if
appropriate, will evaluate the source of the bleeding, and will request a
Medical Time-Out for treatment if necessary.
If requested by the Sports Physiotherapist and/or Tournament Doctor,
the Referee in consultation with the Grand Slam Supervisor or Chair
Umpire may allow up to a total of five (5) minutes to assure control of
the bleeding.
If blood has spilled onto the court or its immediate vicinity, play must
not resume until the blood spill has been cleaned appropriately.

Now I suspect you realise this and are just on a wind up. Why on earth you want to do a wind up on this thread escapes me.

Maybe she was doing a Roberto Rojaz or a bloodgate to gain some time for herself?
