US Open Emma Raducanu

Is there a current thread?
Who's watching?

Hmm not sure i like Fernandez that much

I know. I feel a bitch she's only 19 but the smirks and sycophancy just aren't endearing at all.

Her sister would have really pissed me off telling me to smile the whole time as she was from the box, maybe it was a grimace!!

Both fantastic players. Let's give Leylah some grace. It's very emotional. Let's remember what's happened to Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, and others who struggle with mental health in sports. Can't be easy to deal with so much pressure. They will make mistakes, they will get emotional, they will feel bad. No need to pile it on

Bit harsh Jellykat Imagine being interviewed minutes after one of the biggest disappointments of your life, probably knowing you've embarrassed yourself in front of 23,000 people (+ millions at home) and being barely 19 years old.

Raducanu is so British compared to Fernandez, the interviewer and the crowd! 😁 Love it. Kind of reminds me of Andy Murray in style.

Can you belive this 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

they both are so nice to each other, that's so lovely to see.
loved if. (and I don't really watch tennis usually)

Great interview from Emma, class act.

$2.5m!

That’s a big shopping trip on Bond St coming up for Emma on Monday!

She can retire now😂😂

This must be one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time.

It really is

We just said it's slightly weird to disclose the winners cheque!
That doesnt happen at wimbledon!🤣

The sister shouting smile was the most cringe thing ever. Emma is a collected calm British class act.

A bit rude to mention the money ! How much does Leyla get ?

£2.5 million, those lazy arse kids are being kicked our of bed at 8am tomorrow. They can pick up a bloody racket and crack on.

Not harsh imo blameitonthecaffeine

@HonorHiding

New WTA rankings:

Raducanu 23 (up 127 places)
Fernandez 28 (up 45 places)

That is insane - up 127 places!! Wow.

She's bleeding through that plaster, poor thing.

Definitely a war wound that's worth it though!

She is bleeding through the bandages, running on adrenaline, but it must be a big cut.

The runner up gets £1.25m

10 matches. Didn’t drop a set 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Rubber grazes must hurt more then carpet burns!

Thanks @Yubaba - that is a healthy cheque too!

I don't know what McEnroe or Morgan have said...
Will have a Google but if anyone has links that would be brilliant!

Won’t get her sports personality of the year though. There will be some golfer/ football player / racing driver/ snooker player with a penis (and no personality) standing in line.
