[Other Sport] Emma in the final - official thread

[Hugo Rune]

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

I’m fairly sure we don’t leave a Wimbledon final until the players have left the court and the ceremony is over.

who else is in the running? no one

There are a few olympican and paraolympicans

North Americans. I went to a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game some years ago - it was a cracking game, with a great comeback, but they lost at the last moment. As the ball came down, obviously to be caught - the stadium emptied amazingly rapidly. No applauding a brave fight and defeat. I was quite shocked.

Have you watched the Ryder Cup when it's in America?
In sport they are totally classless.

Fernandez smug grins are irritating me

You seem to get irritated by a lot of things

 

[METALMICKY]

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

At the same time!

That trump's Leicester. A qualifier wins a major, epic, epic sporting moment. Well done Emma

Leicester pales into insignificance, this is like The Lincon Red Imps winning that Champions League

Quite, they all left very quickly when our girls won the Solheim Cup last weekend

Does not surprise me. I am pretty sure that the reception Naomi Osaka received when she beat Serena Williams was the start of the poor woman's struggles. The crowd were booing during the presentation because of some controversial call against Williams but Osaka took it to heart that they were booing her. It was dreadful.

Yes of course, they are absolute aholes

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

Couldn’t quite believe that so I wound the interview back to watch it again. She did congratulate Emma but in the briefest, most perfunctory way I can ever remember seeing in a post championship match interview. Hardly bursting with good grace. That, coupled with her time out histrionics, suggest she’s not the classiest sportsperson on the circuit.

You can't blame the yanks for leaving early.

They have to get to the burger bars to fill their fat bodies....!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

SPOTY sorted hopefully

Now 1/10 on bet365, in from 1/6 half an hour ago. Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over...

 

[Invicta]

Fantastic result from Kent's finest!

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Wow. Just wow. What a performance. Congratulations.

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

Spent all evening driving down the M1, so just saw when I checked my phone.

Well done Emma!

More than made up for the disappointment of realising that Tesco don't sell Hendo's down here

Agree with all the comments about totally classless Americans, but the last thing Canadians would want is to be lumped in with the Yanks. And in my (fairly limited) experience they are far preferable for the most part.

Except for the folk who decided to make noises only when Raducanu was serving.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Yes she did

Erm she stood there not clapping when she was presented the trophy.
