well done emma

I'm nervous for her. The press are lauding her and they're vicious beggars when they turn.

It is likely to be a rude awakening to be thrust so suddenly into the spotlight with little warning, at such a young age. Hopefully she has a good team to protect her.
The 8 figures she's making will be nice though.

Is that one immigrant you don't want to 'send home' then ?

Disgusting comment, you should be ashamed of yourself. Do you hang your prejudices on everyone's achievements or just young girls who are proud to make their home here?

That is true sadly.

I only have a problem with illegal immigrants , don't you?

I do believe we should have managed immigration that is positive for the country, but apparently that is racist in a really thick person's opinion. Changing the governments policies is a reasonable way to deal with that , making it about individuals like you seem to badly want to is a very troubling attitude.

yeah I forgot she didn't even drop a set - how is that even possible ??!!

It was McEnfishroe's comment on how she's not good at handling been behind , causes breathing difficulties apparently. Well she she has the answer, don't ever go behind and it's worked a treat. Bloody good on her

I hadn't realised until the final she'd had to play an extra week. I think they said this had never been done before... and to not even drop a set.

I loved they had the chap who won the men's wheelchair event at Novak's match downing a beer from his trophy, after completing the golden slam (all 4 majors and the Olympics).

On a positive note well done Emma Raducanu - a beyond incredible sporting achievement ... a qualifier, never competed before at the US Open, 18 years old. Hope she has a good team to keep her focussed on tennis. Winning at 18 is incredible.
