Emma Raducanu

[Elwood Blues]

Never watch her before

But this girl can play.

She is 150 in the world (although provisionally with her results so far in the US open about 117 I think)

She has just demolished the number 41 in the world 6-0 in the first set

And is 3-0 up in the second.

Probably the kiss of death and she'll lose now, but at the moment she looks a different class to her opponent

Re: Emma Raducanu

She's worth watching. She was fantastic at Wimbledon. Let's hope there's a big future ahead for her.

Her opponent tonight beat Ashley Barty at the Olympics.

Well she got well and truly hammered tonight 6-0 6-1. Should have been 6-0 6-0 but understandably got nervous on match point and overcooked it a couple of times

Raducanu will face Barty on Monday (if Barty wins her game)

Re: Emma Raducanu

Yes?

Pardon me old chap, just clearing one's throat.

I think the girl has tremendous potential to do well in the game.

Pleased to see she is carrying on her Wimbledon form into the US Open, just hope she handles her nerve a bit better against Barty than she did a couple of months ago at SW19.

Thanks for your patience.

I think the Home support probably added to the pressure at Wimbledon. Nice to see she’s bounced back.

I don't follow the tennis but good things being said about her.

Not too enamoured with it myself tbh, Wimbledon always gets me interested though, mainly due to its history but also it's difficult to avoid because it's on the telly and in the news so much.

The US open I may get interested from the quarters onwards, especially if there is British interest.
The Aus and French leave me cold.

Yes, I think this could well be the case too.

Wimbledon fortnight is huge over here and if you're a Brit, everyone wants a piece of you.

She has such technical ability hopefully she develops the mental toughness needed to be a champ.

The way she played today that 5 years might be pessimistic!

The amount of power she has is incredible.

Must watch that match on Monday against Barty (if it is her)

Re: Emma Raducanu

Just looked her up, don't follow Tennis much. I noticed they called her 'British' so I thought she couldn't be English. Tours out she's Canadian (by birth) but I presume she's more British than Greg Rusedski ever was.

We regard Robert Earnshaw as Welsh even though he had a Zambian mother and an English father and he didn't move to Wales until he was 9 so on that basis she can regard herself as British or English (or both of course)
