The reality is that we're all gonna test positive for this variant sadly.

Hopefully as many of us will pull through this as humanly possible.

yes i was aware of this, of course she can isolate pretty easy this free time

[Nicky91]

Australian Open 2022:
Emma Raducanu beaten in three sets by Danka Kovinic

[Raducanu says she has been nursing
the blister for about five days.
She has been "trying every solution" to tape
the affected area because it "kept ripping off".
"It has been a challenge, for sure,"
she told BBC Sport. "The past few days I have
been really hindered in my practice
and couldn't hit any forehands or serves at all.]

I love Emma but I do feel that a blister isn't quite the horrific injury it's been made out to be today

I hope not, but she doesn't come across as having great mental strength at times

i won't give up on supporting her, i really see the potential in her to become a huge tennis star, 1st set was good, but 2nd and 3rd sets were just bad, i guess mentally the stress got to her and Sasnovich took advantage of that, but a good learning experience yet again for Emma anyway

another huge talent you mean, Leylah Fernandez and she after making that USO final is looking more of a disappointment now compared to Emma


did Emma play bad against Sasno, nope, after the 3rd game of the 3rd set that was when Sasno played full on for the win and Emma kinda gave up but there are a lot of good things to be spoken of from the 1st set this match

but yeah easier to focus on the bad things than the good things



and we should give Emma a break, lesser pressure on her shoulders and be patriotic british people is my advice for you all, support her and don't hate on her

I like her for her brave , adventurous style of play and her personality.. being patriotic doesn’t come into it ( especially given she was born in Canada ).

It's a bit harsh to call her a flop when she's still got many years ahead of her.

Admittedly her performances since haven't lived up to her US Open performance though.

She has an agent but no coach....

[Denver]

What people don't realise is she has been suffering with a lot of injuries that has halted her career after the US open, she didn't have the same rise most players get in the early years as she was thrown straight into it when she won the Open where most bubble away under the surface for a few years till they hit their 20s before making strides in big tournaments

[Mystic Mock]

She has an agent but no coach....

That sounds like Birmingham City.

[Crimson Dynamo]

That sounds like Birmingham City.

:laugh2:

[Zizu]

Crazy how she went from very knowledgable and powerful people predicting that she was gonna be the highest earner in sporting history to basically losing on a consistent basis to nobodies ...

She’s only young though .. hopefully she gets the right coach to get the best out of her

[rusticgal]

She does come across as a random winner…but she is so young and has so much potential.

[MTVN]

Man people are nasty. Idgi, in my lifetime we've basically had zero successful female tennis players - we finally have one win a grand slam (and a player who's very charming and likeable) and it seems like loads of people revel in every defeat she's had since

It was literally only one year ago she had a ranking in the 300s

It always happens tbf, just look at how Southgate is being treated just because a few tin pot games have gone bad.

Sadly some people do have unrealistic expectations of athletes, admittedly I do think that Raducanu is a little too chilled out for my liking considering she's meant to be in a competition to win, but if she doesn't win because she's just not good enough then it's not the end of the world.

yet another thread where Nicky ridicules women

[Nicky91]

:umm2: No

i'm more targetting the media hype around her though


i do see potential in her, but she needs to continue working real hard, and she also needs to workout more in the gym, to create more muscle strength, which is necessary for the long rally's if you want to do well in those

and i'd say start taking part in doubles to also gain extra experience there for your own game


----------------------
although she isn't my main favourite currently

that is Jessica Pegula, most consistent player of this year currently next to Iga Swiatek basically, hiring David Witt (Venus's former coach) was best thing she ever did i think



Simona Halep has Serena's former coach Patrick Mouratoglou as her newest coach, he's basically the dream coach in both men's and women's tennis

[Nicky91]

her slam win wasn't random, she played amazingly well there, and those were two deserving finalists, two HUGE rising stars Emma and Leylah


and btw if you are offended by this quite neutral thread compared to thousands of hate threads she receives on tennisforum



british media really love jinxing their stars with too much hype :facepalm:

[bots]

She is already much more successful than you will ever be Nicky, so who is the flop?

[Nicky91]

Nicky has returned the thread back to debates

I think Flop was fine after she failed
to that far better French Number 4 in the World who
thrashed her.


It is nice of Nicky to do this thread
He can change the title
And I can post the Truths

Get more fit Emma,

[Nicky91]

well not much of a flop as the hype will continue to go on, at least until the US Open


with her hitting the top 10 now, thanks to Pliskova dropping many places losing lots and lots of points of wimbledon

[Nicky91]

https://twitter.com/RaducanuNews/status/1546238814477340672

[Nicky91]

good prep currently for Emma en route to US Open


two easy round 1 and round 2 wins respectively over Serena Williams and Viktoria Azarenka

[Nicky91]

i still like her


despite her R1 exit at USO and a R2 exit last week in Portoroz



she's still very young, we need to give her a break, and don't have too enormous expectations


tomorrow she'll play her R1 match in Korea Open btw :) against japanese Uchijima

[UserSince2005]

Her recent performances have been a disgrace, she should no longer be representing Britain until she can pull herself together.

[Mystic Mock]

She doesn't seem to be handling the pressure very well at the moment.

[Zizu]

It’s crazy to think that straight after that fabulous win in the States many in the business were saying she could go onto being there biggest ever earner in sport ..such was her apparent earning potential THEN !!!!
