Raducanu

US open champion!

well done to her ad she hasnt even hit her peak yet either she can achieve alot in the game all going well.

but No doubt the media and political twats will do their very best to hound her and forget shes a teen much like they did with Osaka and others. So i hope they dont.

Incredible performance, through qualifying and all the rounds without dropping a set. She just blew everyone away.

What she achieved was remarkable. Unprecedented. A qualifier who won without dropping a set. A world ranking in the 300's at the beginning of the summer.

If it was a movie, it would be shunned as fantasy.

Emma Raducanu left Newstead Woods Girls School here in Orpington only 3 months ago after taking her A levels.....Bromley Tennis Club is only 50 yards from the school were she would have had coaching.

This is the same School that Dina Asher-Smith the sprinter went to as well.....the school hasn't a record of sporting ability.....but is known for its very high academic achievement regarding Oxbridge entry.

It is less than a mile from where I live.....I would think that Mouldy's wife would know of it as well.

PS.....Raducanu received 2.5 Million dollars for winning the final.....she must be the only player who has never won a pro title before picking up one of the grand slam titles.....incredible.

Don't often watch tennis these days but did last night-wadda player! Amazingly composed and focused with a ball striking ability to match and as a looker she definitely has the edge on Betty Stove. The only comparable case that i can think of would have been Boris Becker and if she goes on to have a similar career then she'll certainly be far and away the best British player in history. Fantastic.

Has she been drug tested?

Obviously winning the tournament as a qualifier, without dropping a set, is an amazing performance. But what really impressed me was how easy she made it look.

What an amazing future she has.

Leylah Fernandez is small without any obvious muscle...but couldn't she power that ball down and is also mentally strong....Emma did well to beat her.

To be honest John, you've got the edge on Betty Stove

She is an absolute force well done to her. I read that she will pocket up to £50m in the next year she is very hot property.

A strapping lass was Betty, could imagine myself launching 350 yard drives with her build.
