Emma Raducanu

[Elwood Blues]

I turned on the tennis to see Raducanu 0-2 and 0-40 down in the first set.

She won the first set 6-2 and is now 5-0 up in the second.

Martina Navratilova seems impressed. She just said when you see someone special like a Nadal, Djokovic or Hingis you know it Seems to think Raducanu is special.


Very early days but she does seem to have something.

She will be British number 1 for a long, ong time on the strength of the last two performances
If she continues to make this sort of progress she will be world number 1 before long.

This is the sort of 18 year old other countries have

The UK (predominantly England) is able to invest so much into sport - and choses to do so - and globalisation allows for best young athletes and/or coaches to travel to where there is the most growth and for best ideas to spread rapidly.

I don't think we can make this sort of comment any more.
