Non Emma Raducanu

[Garbo]

Amazing young talent for British women’s tennis…well done to her (BBC young SPOTY sorted!)

 

[fritter]

Some fabulous backhand shots. Great attitude and some great rallies. Serves regularly over 100mph. Can’t wait for next game.

How long has it been since we have had a good female player? I can’t remember any. Hope she continues to improve

 

[Druss_the_Legend]

I don't think anyone could have predicted how well she has performed in the main draw. She's done well at juniors but never truly set the world alight. Hopefully it's not a flash in the pan and she's showing how well she handles the pressure of Grand Slam tennis.

 

[New Forest Cherry]

never heard of her so thanks for the heads-up

genuine question; does she grunt?
I find women's tennis largely unwatchable these days because of it

 

[fritter]

No grunting.

 

[New Forest Cherry]

No grunting.

excellent news

 

[AFCBilbo]

A good job she’s not a looker as well

 

[fritter]

What about man grunting in tennis. Do you watch that?

 

[London Cherry]

I was on No 1 today and she was absolutely superb! A real talent for British tennis!

no, it should be banned

Please tell me this is irony, right ?

Got a great chance to get into the 1/4 finals as well with a good looking draw.

Seemed to be full of confidence and composure.

McEnroe was a grunter, but Connors was the king.

not every shot, though?

 

[AFCBilbo]

Obviously not a very good attempt

 

[Ivyhouse]

Obviously not a very good attempt

You never know. Tastes differ and when you get to my age most young women are lookers.

Ignoring the fact that she was born in Canada, the press will love her.

Easy on the eye, mixed race, went to grammar school, speaks well.

For next 12 months it doesn't really matter if she doesn't win another game, the media has a new idol.



Am I getting old and cynical?
