Emma Raducanu

[J R Hartley]

did she request the break, or was it enforced because of the bleeding?

Bleeding LOL

[Baloo]

Now the game is over can we get back to bickering.

[Eric Cartman]

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.

Blood was dripping down her shin. It was an enforced medical break.

[J R Hartley]

Childish reply, she was bleeding, she didn’t call the trainer on , the umpire did, it’s in the rules, if there is blood on the court the game has to be stopped to be cleaned so they had to bandage the cut.

I know you’re only arguing for the sake of it, can’t believe I’ve wasted a minute of my life replying to you

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

[Elwood Blues]

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?

He was milking it.

[Elwood Blues]

He was milking it.

I know he was.

Just though I would give him little room for manoeuvre. Though I am sure he will find a way.

Or maintain a deafening silence.

Dripping 😂 Get a grip

Did the trickle of blood even reach her socks?

A trickle? Is that better or worse than a nonexistent drip?

And it looks like it did reach her sock.

I would suggest you stop embarrassing yourself with such childish comments and go to bed

Good for her. Put that fake smiling Fernandez in her place.

I’ve seen more blood from a shaving scratch

[the other bob wilson]

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.

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

Didn’t drop a set….that’s amazing. Other players have taken almost 10 minute “toilet breaks” at key times in games, the Greek guy did it v Murray, it’s allowed but it halts the rhythm of the game. I don’t think it did for Emma, it could have easily gone the other way like she alluded to when speaking after saying I’m just glad I didn’t do a double fault. There were so many break points you can’t just refer to one

Thought you’d given up drinking? 🤣

[William Treseder]

He probably had a score on Fernandez.
