In yesterday's Times, in response to the judgemental statements made by certain male commentators about Emma Raducanu: "Middle-aged men should generally avoid commenting on the physical or mental well-being of teenage girls. They will ^never^ experience or fully understand that world."

Nonsense. What if it was a female commentator and a teenage boy? I'm no fan of McEnroe but he was right. She's clearly not ready to compete at that level. I personally think she's a flash in the pan and we'll probably never hear of her again. Apart from reality shows.

How's all that working out for you then?

Boris won queens week before

One in the eye for you ! Brilliant, assured performance by Emma . Not likely to be on a reality show any time soon .

He was unseeded when he won Wimbledon but hadn't needed to qualify. I think he was around 20 in the rankings at the time.

Huge congratulations to Emma Raducanu for getting to the final.

To think it was mere weeks ago you were getting your A level resuts.

I couldn't be more happier or excited for you.

Ignore all those who thought so little of you and your immense talent.

Sophoclesthefox · 10/09/2021 13:19

Heh heh, Emma is getting the last laugh here

She’s brilliant, she’s on absolutely storming form at just the right moment. Love her- come on Emma!!

Also, Judy Murray is fab.

Emma has inspired my son who has suffered from anxiety this summer.

She has helped him see that anxiety can be just a part - hopefully not the biggest -of his story.

So thanks Emma x

FannyCann · 10/09/2021 14:01

She's done fantastically and obtained stellar results in her A levels too, A* maths is not to be sniffed at. She conducts herself beautifully and is a joy to watch.

Thanks for reviving the thread.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 11/09/2021 23:39

So thrilled for her!

nettie434 · 11/09/2021 23:57

^Are you sure, I thought Boris Becker did that.
Happy to stand corrected though?^

I think he was unseeded rather than having to go through the qualifiers. I wouldn't have known this but the commentators have been talking about how Emma is 1st person to have won this way.

Ha ha ha ha. Emma is fab. She's just won 2.5million. Flash in the pan, my arse. Judy Murray is fab too. McEnroe was being an arse and I hope he apologises.

@lolacola77, this comment aged well, didn't it?! 🙈🤣

Congratulations to Emma. She was amazing!

HopeClearwater · 12/09/2021 00:05

@lolacola77 haha
@JMcEnroe hahahaha
@Judy Murray, Billie-Jean King and Virginia Wade - carry on being the brilliant women you are

HopeClearwater · 12/09/2021 00:07

If she never won another tennis match in the rest of her life she’s still written tennis history and taken home 2.5m dollars … reality shows indeed!!!

Heidi1982 · 12/09/2021 00:13

I was wondering what was better, getting a cheque for 2.5million or a trophy from Billy Jean King. Amazing.

Eat your words

Anyoneseenmyglasses · 12/09/2021 00:19

What a flash in the pan - wow

tunnocksreturns2019 · 12/09/2021 00:23

Ooh I would LOVE to be a 100th of this sort of a flash in the pan incredible

RedDogsBeg · 12/09/2021 00:24

Do you think lolacola77 would like something to wash those words down, like a can of Coke maybe?.

Some people can't abide successful young woman and must denigrate them at every opportunity.

Well done to Emma Radacanu, a truly class act and what a wonderful achievement.

Melroses · 12/09/2021 00:26

That was amazing

namechange786578 · 12/09/2021 00:26

Huge congratulations to the flash in the pan this evening, I've already forgotten her name obviously.

FannyCann · 12/09/2021 00:38

Fabulous performance. She's a star act in every way, on court, in interviews, her acceptance speech (and Laylah Fernandez' speech as well) could teach a few Oscar winners a thing or two. And great A level results also.
I think we'll be hearing a lot more of her for many years to come and I highly doubt she'll ever need to lower herself to a reality show.

@Lalliella

Morgan and McEnroe are twats.

@lolacola77 do you prefer cream or custard with your humble pie?
