Compared to the absolute airhead bimbos that make it to the hawt thread, I’d prefer someone who can really play tennis.

1-0 to the Brit.

Damn shame it’s 3 and not 5 sets.

All the British Gold Medal winning Olympics competitors must be going FUCK

Fourth game in the second set was huge for Raducanu

[MiketheSnow]

Raducan(u), Radudid

Great match

Who’s going to be the Director of this movie?

What a story

Qualifier to Champion

[Victor Meldrew]

What a fairy-tale!

Came from nowhere. Qualifier for Wimbledon, qualifier for the US Open. Wins the latter without dropping a set.

Insane stuff. :clapping_hands: :clapping_hands: :clapping_hands:

[MiketheSnow]

And more importantly she appears to be a thoroughly lovely person

[MajorPom]

Feel a bit emotional! Wtf!

[Bovidae]

An enjoyable match that. There were nerves in the 2nd set but both players played without fear and went for their shots.

I doubt Raducanu's record will ever be broken.

Tim Henman

Leg End

Yeah. Class act - really grounded and with no airs or aggressive stuff. Love the way she acknowledged Tim Henman first of all after she won.

Mrs Meldrew read she flew her childhood tennis coach from her club in Bromley to be at the Final. Lovely thing to do.

This final was played on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Neither of the finalists were born then.

That is class

[Victor Meldrew]

These two, along with Coco look to be the future of women's tennis.

Grace and style as well as power.

Good luck to the boy who wants to ask Hernandez out, her Dad is jacked

Soak it in girl, soak it in

First qualifier to win a major tournament ever. One of the great tennis performances of all time.

[Billy Tell]

Entirely marketable. The endorsements will flow in.

Virginia and Tim shout out

Billionaire in the making. No question.

On that front, how utterly tasteless that handing over the winners cheque is part of the ceremony.
