Lincsaddick said:Watching bits and pieces noof Sakkari's semi .. she is a bit of a grunter and screamer
Sakkari at 26, has had a good year but again she seemed to have come from low down the rankings compared to where she was in 2019.
Works out in the Gym, and will beat Emma at arm wrestling but we hope not on the court.
Woman's tennis since Serena had a baby and injury problems have had so many different slam winners:
Since the Aussie slam in 2017 there have been 13 different winners out of 18.
Women's singles:
Williams
OstapenkoMuguruza
Stephens
Wozniacki
Halep(2)
Kerber
Osaka (4)
Barty(2)
Andreescu
Kenin
Swiatek
KrejcikovaFernandez 19, Raducanu 18, Sakkari 26 and Sabalenko 23 have a chance to add their name on to the honours board.1 -
Good point but I know I'll be tempted to look at the live score! Hmm, I don't want to miss the start so may set the alarm earlier and see how the other game is going etcLincsaddick said:

Kyle Edmund is one of the few British players who buggered off abroad as soon as he won a couple of matches. He went to the BahamasLincsaddick said:

And how has he done, lol?! I hadn't realised he was as young as 3 when he moved to the UK; thought it was olderkillerandflash said:

See all the Canadians etc trying to claim Emma?!1 -
I saw that with her being accused of forgetting her "roots". Seriously, she left there aged two and her Dad was from Romania and Mum from China. For 16 years she was brought up, educated and trained here and hadn't probably even picked up a racket before she left Canada.PrincessFiona said:

Rusedski they are welcome to claim. Our Emma is "our" Emma!!!!!6 -
Exactly! Not sure there is a nationality that covers being born somewhere and living there for only 2 years, having a mother from another country, a father from another and then living, learning tennis, being educated in another where she is a passport holder! Being born in a stable, doesn't make you a horse!

I never liked it when the England cricket team in the 90s went through a phase of picking players who were proper fair dinkum Aussies, but not good enough to get into the Aussie team, because they had been born in the UK before moving to Australia when 1 year old!0

Raducanu is also a breath of fresh air because she smiles and appears happy to be playing. As opposed to Osaka who always seem like a sourpuss, on and off the court.1

IF Emma and Fernandez make it through, it will be an 'all Canada final' lol .. Emma's folks are Chinese and Romanian, Fernandez' s are Ecuadorian and Filipina .. we live in an era of increasing worldwide multi-citizenshipPrincessFiona said:

And Emma doesn't suffer from that speech impediment that seems to affect most millennials whereby every spoken sentence ends with an uptick inflection making every sentence a rhetorical question. I think Osaka is a wonderful tennis player but I just cannot bear listening to her speak.NapaAddick said:Raducanu is also a breath of fresh air because she smiles and appears happy to be playing.

If you asked me to name a better duo than millennials and upwards inflections, it would be older generations and making lazy generalizations about young people.Red_in_SE8 said:

And please let's not dig out a woman who in her most recent press conference stated: "When I win, I'm not happy, I just feel relief. And when I lose, I get extremely sad.

Another thing that annoys me is virtual signalling on social media in a never ending quest for "likes".Callumcafc said:

Agree Callum.
Osaka has been programmed to be a tennis player from a young age and the marketing in the USA and Japan has turned her into a brand with many people on the pay role.
Her words were a cry for help for the girl, and the young woman who got lost on this Journey.
Emma Raducanu, who is out going and has had many sporting interest in her young life including, Go-karting, Swimming, basketball, and horse riding, plus great results in her Maths A levels. Amazing how she has only been a professional tennis player for a few months. Emma had nearly 18 years not in the spotlight and now she may find stardom comes at a price but family, friends and professional team which will now increase around her can divert the negative comments which come from the jealous and the sad trolls. She is enjoying the journey and that is part of her charm. You can't buy a winning mentality, it's innate.
Long may that last.

Agreed re Emma, although she has said she is actually quite shy. She seems very balanced (playing on the court as well as off of it), mentally strong and brilliant with people. She seems amazingly calm and happy on court too, but will have challenges to come that will challenge that massively.soapboxsam said:Callumcafc said:

She understandably had an adverse reaction to the the situation at Wimbledon, when she went from doing her A levels and hardly playing tennis for 18 months and from zero to hero in an almost vertical leap. But how she has conducted herself since, and how she adapts her games an tactics to new and better and better opponents is nothing short of incredible - long back it continue.
There is another thread about Osaka - how about we keep that discussion separate Lets hope Emma is able to deal with all the pressures that are bound to come her way - so far she seems to be the complete package2 -
15 minutes to Sabalenka v Fernandez.0

Away from the singles, there will be British success in the men's doubles, as Jamie Murray goes against Joe Salisbury in the final

Raducanu would be a Gen Z as well, she's too young to be a millennial.

Sabalenka too powerful for Fernandez thus far.0

Up early for Radacanu. Dreading a final set in this one.0
