she may receive sponsor's invitations for the next couple of years. she is a grand slam winner in the prime of her years and just returned from a major break due to injury

Emma winning US Open was an incredible achievement, especially in the manner in which she did it. Having said that, although it’s very churlish to say, I don’t think it would have happened in a non covid affected year. A qualifier playing another relatively low ranked teenager in a slam final, what would be the chances of that in normal conditions? I think she can be a top ten player and may win more slams, but I think that US Open win made her seem like some kind of tennis prodigy, which I’m not sure she is. It’s also heaped a load of pressure and expectation on her. If she can stay fit it will be really interesting to see what level she gets to.

I think the level of fame, a creepy stalker and expectation has been too much for her to cope with as well.

Won 3 matches this year in the 4 tournaments she has competed in. Reckons she isn’t fussed about results as development of her gsme is more important ???.

Was advised last week she requires surgery on both her wrists ??

must like the tourist attraction on the circuit

It was just before the IW tournament last year that was advised on the surgery - nothing about needing surgery again.

From the BBC article "Raducanu played her best tennis of 2023 in Indian Wells, reaching the fourth round having found out just before the tournament began that she was likely to need surgery on both her wrists."

You really don’t like her do you. Any chance to put the boot in her.

Maybe the surgery is booked, who knows. It's her health. She is in charge of her health and her playing career. So I will take an open view on what she does.
 

Emma Raducanu

she has top NY agents, five or six brands sponsoring her, millions in the bank, and (apparently) a billionaire's son is her bf.

she'll be ok?
 

Emma Raducanu

It’s been go go since December and she is feeling a little fatigued ??

I am a subject matter expert with an interest in sharing my in-depth knowledge on the subject.

(Please note I am not the billionaire boyfriend, but like Emma I like taking other peoples money for not doing a lot in return?)

She beat a young lady ranked 96 in the world who had to win her qualification to gain entry into the tournament rather than have her PR company beg for her to play and not have to qualify.

Good news. I would have thought that young lady would win the tournament having qualified given that Emma won a major doing the same thing

But you'll no doubt be chuffed that she's added USD 42,000 to her already vast wealth by winning. Only took her less than two hours to boot.

I just want to see her make the best of talent and ideally not be so injured. I enjoy British talent doing well and also having a bet on them. She is to flaky to bet on currently with her injuries and perhaps mental strength currently questionable. I watched her live in Auckland this year and supported her along.

just annoys me when she says stuff like I am not fussed about results or rankings just want to improve my game. Appreciate she has gotten herself into the privileged position of not having to financially worry any more

Whether it's true or not, why not just support her? She's young and is liable to say some things that may appear odd sometimes. We don't have many talented sportspeople in the UK, so it seems odd to me not to support them, unless they're horrible bastards.

She's already proved her talent by winning the US Open and after her various injuries, she will take some time to get back into a groove again so fans will need to be patient without expecting too much at the moment.

She played reasonably well yesterday but her opponent was quite error prone, especially in the first set. She's playing the seeded Yastremska in round 2, and she will definitely be a different proposition. Should she win that, Sabalenka probably awaits in round 3.

There you go again - what is your problem? Another very talented English player who's career was derailed by injuries (wrist and hip). Don't think it was her fault either.

Interesting comparison - personally, I don’t remember Laura Robson winning a (senior) Grand Slam title.

I don’t think she did. Peaked as a junior, then seemingly always and repeatedly injured. High hopes for her career were never really fulfilled, despite being highest ranked since Durie and Croft in the ‘80s. Jeez, she’s only about 30 now!
 

Emma Raducanu

Laura Robson won Junior Wimbledon of course.

A bit different from winning the US Open I would say.
 

Emma Raducanu

And a London 2012 medallist as well

And beat Clijsters at US Open on way to round 4
Gave GB Tennis some hope
Then faded away had bad injuries and now is a commentator

The last Junior Champ was Annabel Croft

Proves that winning juniors doesn't always give you the best career

How right you were. She did have a medical emergency today. But it was her opponent retiring at 0-4 in the first set, seemingly with a stomach issue.

It seemed to happen quite suddenly with her crouching down at the back of the court, just after the first point of game 5, holding her stomach. Until then, Emma was clearly the better player. Probably a third round match with Sabalenka awaits.

Makes a change for Emma to go through because her opponent had to pull out.
Could face Sabalenka, the second seed, in the next round so that maybe the end of that.

It’s unpredictable and retirements when one person is battering the other are pretty common compared to other sports

Surely if someone retires when they're being battered, rather than just playing on and losing anyway, makes no difference in terms of the outcome from a betting perspective??

Lost 6-3 7-5. I thought that she produced an encouraging performance against the no. 2 in the world. The second set, in particular, was tight and, with a bit of luck, she could have won it. I think that she actually had more break points than Sabalenka in set 2, but the Belarusian normally came up with a good point to save them each time.

She played some excellent shots, needs more consistency. I'm sure that will come by playing more often, but there is the injury bug always in the background for her.

Amazingly her Ranking will go down
This time last year she won 3 matches at Indian Wells

Don't worry about it!

She won't be relying on them. She's box office and a major winner. She can play where she wants.
