[Other Sport] Emma in the final - official thread

[KZNSeagull]

Can't believe how partizan this crowd is. Notable that Leyla didn't congratulate her.

Yes she did

You've got to love the power of sport to unite and overcome bigotry and prejudice ... Emma, great performance and thanks for rounding off a great sporting day [emoji106]

What a gracious winner.

The prize money presentation is a bit weird.

Much prefer the trophy being handed over.

Corrected for you...

They were ‘big units’.

The woman was seriously scary and hilarious when the bloke forgot the way back!

Amazing achievement and total respect. After the Wimbledon loss I wondered about her big match temperament but proved her steel tonight.

 

[Hugo Rune]

She’ll still on the podium but it looks like most of the ‘fans’ have left. Ass hats!

What an incredible performance and maturity, surely a shoe in for SPOTY? Thought
Saka was a shoe in but not sure now.

Leicester winning the Premier League

Emma Raducanu winning a Grand Slam as a qualifier without conceding a set.

Can't decide which is more incredible?

Emma, hands down.

She could beat me in an arm wrestle, or eat all you want competition.

It's one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time. It sounds like hyperbole, but it's absolutely incredible. But it's like San Marino winning the World Cup without conceding a goal. All on one 18 year old girl's shoulders.

The photographers have taken so long that Emma has now got a half empty stadium to parade the trophy around to

I’m struggling with this too. I’ve flip flopped so much already, but I remember thinking after Leicester won the Prem that I would never witness a sporting shock on that magnitude. And yet it’s taken only 5 years.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well at least a few people have stayed behind in the stadium. Yanks really are classless oaves.

She has a teenage naivety about her, but can do that on a huge stage, with no real previous experience.
The thing I liked most was when she kept playing the same ball, like she was playing down the local park.
