Before Andy Murray came along, Tim Henman was probably the only decent British player of my lifetime. And he wasn't even a good top player. It was a huge deal when he reached the Semi-final. So Andy Murray surpassed him by a country mile. Totally different league of player.

JPEG winning easily over Cocciaretto in 6-4, 6-0 :eek: a bagel from our Jessie, whew Jessie opening up her Buffalo Bakery on that poor italian :clap1:



Swiatek steady and remaining calm vs Martic winning with 6-2, 7-5

I feel sorry for Azarenka, there's no need to take anything Russia-Ukraine related out on her. I dislike Svitolina for whipping that up as well tbh

Hope it's a Rybakina-Swiatek final and Rybakina wins

Yes..it looked like the Russian girl did not want to shake her hand…hence she was booed off court..now we are aware it was the other way around. This is Sport not about the conflict…

umm no

Swiatek was a shock exit for sure yes, losing to Svitolina and dutch coach Raemon Sluiter


but Pegula well i'm proud of her for being the first american player in the last 25 years having made it to quarter finals on all 4 slams now, her loss in the doubles i feel more sad about, another missed opportunity of becoming doubles no.1 of the world :(



think the final could be Rybakina vs Svitolina, and Rybakina is deffo hungry to win those important points this time around unlike last year with no points to be earned here

So Emma Raducanu is BACK !?


She was apparently marvellous in the recent Davis Cup and beat a good player easily yesterday and is currently slaughtering another highly rated player as we speak on Sky 407

Emma Radacanu is definitely back !!

She just lost in a close match to the world number one ..

She missed a ridiculously easy shot at advantage in the second game of the match to go 2:0 up but it went to 1:1 .


To put this performance into perspective she lost to the player who’s been world number one for 99 weeks .. the clay is Emma’s worst surface and her opponent’s best .

Her opponent wins 95% of her games

Her opponents matches are always over in less than an hour yet it took her over TWO hours to beat Emma today

apparently

alongside one other from bahamas: Mark Merklein




i always used to like Knowles in the doubles :flutter:



yeah something wasn't working that well anymore with her previous coach David Witt, towards the end of 2023 her form kinda got a bit mediocre



she's now competing in Rosmalen, where she is #1 seeded

its more like

Keeping Up With The Raducanu's on her instagram :laugh: more like got reality star/influencer potential than tennis superstar



meanwhile Iga Swiatek keeps slaying and yet Raducanu remains more marketable somehow :idc:



i like Swiatek more than Raducanu too, much more a relatable girl next door vibe there too, whereas with Emma i find her too ''hollywood glamour puss'' vibe most of the time



but no, my no.1 fave remains Pegula, despite coming from a billionaire family, she is soooo down to earth, funny with her whole drinking a heineken post match at press conferences, she got such cool taste in choice of home, styling of her home, her pool and garden, and a dog mamma so we gotta stan :D


i don't care if Pegula wins a slam or not, i'm already happy she broken through as a top ranked player now, i am one who stanned her when she was still under the radar, and no i didn't know she was from a well off background back then also her daddy owning the buffalo bills (they are a strong nfl team tbh)

She has such an unfortunate time since she shocked the world by winning the US title


In the last 15 months she’s had operations on both wrists and one ankle !!

She looks extremely fit ( tennis-wise Mog lol)


So she has a chance of winning Wimbledon Singles on behalf of Romania / China or Canada at a pinch

Maybe even the mixed doubles with Andy Murray !

I think Judy Murray didn't help with Raducanu's preparation for yesterday's game, normally in Sports you tend to want to be drama free before a match.

Tbf though to Lulu Sun, she did play an amazing game, especially against someone who had gone through the first three rounds with ease.

And it was nice to see Raducanu giving the game an earnest effort, because I have doubted her commitment to the Sport in the past, but I really feel like she gave the tournament a good go this time, but sadly fell short.

Hopefully she can use this recent form as a blueprint for the US Open.

England's South African-born cricket uber-hero Kevin Pietersen took particular offence to Wilshere's ramblings, even challenging the Arsenal midfielder on Twitter, but where will he feature in our list?

yes Navarro in good form, probably inspired by Pegula's recent results that children from billionaire families can be successful as long as they work hard for it (unlike Lance Stroll in F1 whom just has his seat thanks to Daddy as the owner :fan:)

her grandfather was Frank Navarro, former NFL player and her dad is Ben Navarro, CEO of a Sherman Financial Group



btw Jessica Pegula also doesn't have her dad helping her in her career, i mean she doesn't interfere with the Bills, and her mom and dad don't interfere with her career, although she hasn't ruled out she might inherit the family business someday

but yeah the media just endorse whoever looks most pretty i think :rolleyes: although so far that strategy has been one big failure for them, after her US Open win she hasn't exactly won anything anymore yet

You might want to contact ITV about this, because they're wondering what you're on about.:laugh:

And tbf Raducanu is a naturally talented Tennis player, she just needs to not psych herself out like she did against Sun.

He was told by a quack doctor years ago that he was gluten intolerant .. after the guy asked him to lift a weight whilst holding some bread in his other hand !


Coincidentally Djokovic became a superman athlete within a few months and has been practically unbeatable ever since

The ‘doctor’ was known to be a bit ‘sus’

I am going to bet that Djokovic in particular has far too much pride to cheat via doping, I honestly don't think that it's in his character.

And Mo Farah I just think is a naturally gifted runner.

I can see what you mean about Raducanu and Taylor Swift, although I am personally more drawn to Raducanu's look.

i myself am more drawn to Pegula, but tbh there only is one dream woman for me and that is Selena Gomez, but regarding sportswomen i stan Pegula (already since her early career days btw when she was so under the radar for most people, she has gone through some tough moments, like 2014 a very bad knee injury where she also could've easily retired and still lived a luxurious life but she kept fighting to recover, to get to that what she is now, a top ranked player in both singles and doubles)
