She's not a top 10 player. I don't think anyone thinks she is or ever will be. But tennis isn't just about the top 10. Being top 40 is not struggling thoughSantaClaus said:
Leaving aside her mental and physical issues I don't see anything in Raducanu's game that suggests she's ever going to challenge at the top level. There's not a single shot in her locker that I'd rank as an elite weapon and without that she's always going to struggle.Kips said:I suspect a lot of Raducanu's problems are caused by what goes on between her ears.
She seems to come up with lots of different excuses. Not sure if it's simply because she gets more media exposure, but her excuses seem more apparent and wide ranging than others, to me.
If she or one of her team can place more emphasis upon the mental side you might see a top player. Otherwise she'll continue to drift within that middle order of the rankings, which comprise mainly of inconsistent and journeyman type players.1 -
I think a lot of the people having a dig at Raducanu would struggle to be top 40 in the world at anything, except perhaps being a whiny little fecker.PrincessFiona said:

Pointing out that a hyped player lacks weapons isn't a dig it's an observation.AddicksAddict said:

not that hyped up really. Far more over-reaction to her being over-hyped than actually being over-hyped. By far the majority of people who are rational and objective are unsurprising rational, realistic and objectiveSantaClaus said:

I don't think Charlton should give up because they aren't in the top 26 teams in the world, or indeed in the country2 -
Tarvet takes a 2-0 lead. Crawford and Kartal pegged back to 1-1 each. Norrie just started against Bautista Agut.0
-
Great win for Kartal against the 20th seed.5
-
I think she's got the game to be top 20 at least. She was also born in Sidcup.3
-
Well done Kartal - wins 7-5 2-6 6-2.
Tarvet two sets and a break up - the winner of that match likely plays Alcaraz next.1 -
A lot of great people are.jakecafc said:I think she's got the game to be top 20 at least. She was also born in Sidcup.2 -
not sure about top 20 but I think there is going to be ongoing competition for GB no. 1jakecafc said:I think she's got the game to be top 20 at least. She was also born in Sidcup.

I think the only criticism I have given was probably a year ago saying that she needs to learn the difference between being injured, and playing with discomfort - that was when there was a spate of withdrawals.0 -

Oliver Tarvet wins. Am I right in thinking he has to forfeit all of his earnings because of the US college system?
2 -
Tarvet studies at the University of San Diego and has developed his game in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) system. Under NCAA rules, players are restricted in how much they can claim from professional tournaments. He's allowed $10,000 (£7,290) in profit every year, as well as any expenses incurred during the events.
Think he might have to drop college!

Tarvet into R2 - probably facing Alcaraz.
Now inside the top 400 in the rankings having previously been at 733.1 -
Tarvet wins in straight sets - Alcaraz likely awaits in round 2.Crawford down 2 sets to 1 against Bellucci.
Norrie wins the first set over Bautista Agut.
Fery wins the first set over 20th seed Popyrin.
Brits not doing too bad so far!0 -

Might be wrong but think it's £99k just for losing his next match but, seemingly, won't get that. Unless he has some really massive "expenses" to offset that!jakecafc said:

I don't know whether sponsorship is defined as "profit" but he was definitely not happy about not being allowed prize money.Billy_Mix said:
