    Yeah, but tennis is a proper sport.

    Tiger Woods won the Masters at his first attempt (I appreciate he is not a Brit, but you didn’t qualify the statement in that way).

    Djokovic beats Zverev in 5.

    He hasn’t had it all his own way this tournament - lost a few sets .

    If anything Medvedev has had an easier run I think in terms of sets played ?

    I'd have so much respect for her if she wins this and then retires.

    'Thanks a lot, I've made about 2m this week. I never need to work again and I can't be arsed with the dedication and sacrifice, so I'm gonna retire as champ at 18.'

    Blood time out.

    To win as a qualifier without dropping a set.
    :eek:
    And against a partisan NY crowd too.
    Wow, just WOW.

    Watched history tonight.

    Can’t wait now to see how the British media sets about breaking her down after a few days of building her up.

    Hence why I hope she just jacks it in and lives off her 2.5m prize money and whatever she can rinse out of her fame.

    Amazing. Also, as the parent of a 17 yr old, this made me laugh and I totally related. A woman texted into radio 1 to say that her daughter was in the same Maths class as Raducanu a few months ago. As she put it “Emma went on to break numerous records on the tennis court, while my daughter went on to break her wrist crowd surfing at a festival”.

    Absolutely fantastic. So pleased for her.

    Now imagine how many tennis winners GB could have if this sport wasn't restricted to only people with money.

    Amazing performance to not drop a single set.

    Hopefully she has a good support network so she doesn't experience mental burnout from achieving so much at a young age

    I don’t think the British press will tear her down - at least not for the next +- 3 years.

    I mean, it’s not as if she’ll have a dodgy tweet they can dig up that she made when she was 19!

    Message from the Queen. Turns out she’s a fan of someone who isn’t afraid to appear in a US court…

    Wow!

    That was nerve wracking at the end but what a way to win and another very strong performance under pressure .

    Sky is the limit for Emma.
