    Couldn't resist posting this Piers Morgan tweet after Emma Raducuna pulled out of Wimbledon...

    Clearly she learned her lesson pretty quickly 😉

      Sounds like a really balanced girl. Studying uni by correspondence, loves her motorsport, apparently looking forward to a visit to Wall Street while in NYC

          Keeping balanced will be a challenge, but she seems to have a good, experienced team around her to help with that.

            Yep. Not a huge tennis fan, but it was a joy to watch them. Both reminded me of the likes of Nadal, Federer etc. Doing their talking on the court and acting with grace and good friends off it.

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

                What a story

                Qualifier to Champion

                Call it The Fairytale of New York. 3 months ago she was an A Level student. Never won a WTA tounament before. Only her second major tournament. Never played a top ten player before. Had to go through qualifying. Said her goal at the start of qualifying was to win enough money to replace her lost Air Pods. 4,000-1 outsider. Won the US Open without dropping a set. Last person to do that was Serena Williams in 2014. Unbelievable.

                Much better story than that Wimbledon film they made about Peter Holt.

                  Amazingly Raducanu could win the US Open next year and yet lose ranking points. This year she got 50 points for getting through US Open Qualifying, then 2000 points for winning the US Open. Next year there will only be the 2000 points for winning the tournament available to her.

                    Watching the mens final and the domestic racquet violence it would be nice to see the roles reversed and a racquet leap up and pound Novak Djokovic into the dirt. He's the one making those tired, lazy mistakes, leave the graphene Head out of it..

                    Or maybe I'm just jealous I can't break half a k on a whim..

                      The Joker is looking outclassed and frustrated at the moment. Medvedev is playing really well.

                          Sport at its best. Djokovic always wins the 5th set so will it go that far?

                              Djoker looking totally out of sorts. Not playing well and not getting angry either. I wonder if he's injured? Certainly don't want to take away from Medvedev who is playing great

                                Amazing. Double fault on match point. Mental pressure of facing Djokovic.

                                  Djoker showing signs of life after Medvedev choked serving for the match. Medvedev serving again for the match

                                        Just looked spent. All credit to Medvedev for slaying the dragon though

                                          Amazing how Medvedev never blinked to match point then he baulked twice and reset because he saw Joker facing him. The mental pressure is so interesting to watch as his service composure crumbled. Well done Medvedev.
