[Misc] Wimbledon 2021

[Icy Gull]

Some great tennis being played in the Federer vs Sonego game. Rain stops play Sonego break point down at 5-5

Raducanu about to start on BBC2.

Raducanu about to start on BBC2.

And now over to BBC1.

 

[Sheebo]

Would be amazing if Raducanu became a top ladies player - about time we had one who’s right up there. Konta is good, don’t get me wrong!

It would be good as she has the potential but it will very much depend upon how she is treated by the press and on social media. Both Konta and Laura Robson freaked out at the attention given to them and the weight of expectation. Her back room team may have quite a task on their hands.

One more win and Henman Hill becomes Raducanu Ridge.

She was born in Canada to Romanian and Chinese parents but moved to England at 2 and has chosen us so all good - but she certainly had her pick of nationalities here!

Radacuna one set down but what a player

Radacuna one set down but what a player

She’s got a bright future for sure. Doing really well on the big stage.

 

[DJ NOBO]

This Aussie looks a bit too strong.
Radacanu is great to watch though. Based on her performances at Wimbledon, she is The best British player I’ve seen. She’d beat Konta.

 

[KZNSeagull]

The Aussie is being very clever here - just keeping the ball in play and waiting for Emma to make mistakes. Emma's playing very well though.

I read that earlier. I guess she's grown up here and feels English, but **** me, after the last 5 years I'd have a Romanian passport please, and a Canadian one.

I'm not big on tennis, but I'm enjoying the view

That’d be ‘British’ Konta, born in Sydney to Hungarian parents and who represented Australia until 2012...hmmm.


Next you’ll be telling us Cameron Norrie’s British ffs!

 

[Icy Gull]

Emma not 100%, panic attack?

Medical break, so who knows what’s up, real shame she has been brilliant. 18 years old, awesome debut

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

And now over to BBC1.

Why do they do that?
With Wimbledon and other sports, what difference does it make between 1 and 2.
If it starts on 2 keep it on 2.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Pulled stomach muscle my guess.

Yes, so would I.

I would imagine that she can still get one of each, even if she plays tennis as a British player. Lucky sod.

 

[Randy McNob]

Lennox Lewis claiming to be British was the biggest farce

 

[Icy Gull]

Looks like it’s all over

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Sad ending to a wonderful adventure. Emma Radacanu has a lot to be proud of. Here's hoping she has a fantastic career.
