Gauff continues to gesture to her team for help ?!?!


She just sat down and shouted to them

“ tell me something , you guys aren’t saying anything “

How bizarre

Her coach was just shouting at her when she walked past him


I always thought that they weren’t allowed coaching during a match

I normally cheer for the underdogs but Navarro is a billionaire that said I’m not liking Gauff’s attitude or demeanour at all and her opponent is rated 140 in the world

I wonder if Navarro will regret giving that game away fairly easily hoping to win with her own serve ?

Navarro has a good record against her next opponent so should make the semifinal

How very rude !!

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.

Wasn't Raducanu born in Canada?

Norrie is the Aussie born.

Jack Wilshere's comments regarding "foreigners" playing for England were much debated throughout the week. So it got us thinking about those other "British" sports stars who were born nowhere near our green and graceful land.

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?


Have we any home born players ?

Sooo many of our sporting stars weren’t born here ..

Ones that immediately spring to mind


Rusedski , Bugner , Zola Bud ..oh and Mo Farah ( possible drugz cheat )

I think someone who is a British citizen and has lived here since the age of 2, can legitimately be considered british. You don't automatically have to take on your parents nationality anymore. We are not living in the 1950's

always nice to see a unknown talent going deep in the slams honestly

i think Lulu Sun played fantastic vs Raducanu


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 )

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

Jess is married to a employee of the family business though, Taylor Gahagen

also isn't afraid of doing hard work, with her sister Kelly she runs a foodtruck business

I feel it's correct too.

I mean Raducanu has spent far more time in the UK than Canada, so culturally she is very much British imo.

The same for Mo Farah.

Mo Farrer , I feel , has some regrettable skeletons due to surface in the coming years

idk why Raducanu is also more marketable than Swiatek while Swiatek has already won more titles

comparing youngsters


but yeah the media just endorse whoever looks most pretty i think 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

She’s been injured for nearly two years

''injured''


but fit enough to do lots of advertising work, and being a celebrity on social media's


if ur injured for 2 years, you also don't have a proper team behind you tbh



i mean Pegula missed Roland Garros this year due to recovering from a injury but that is easily understandable, someone who works really hard on both singles AND doubles, now a top ranked player at both



Swiatek not doing well at wimbledon is simple: because her grass game ain't perfect yet, while she is the queen of clay, and quite solid at hard court, and i don't blame her for skipping grass preparations not doing any tournaments before wimbledon because i mean not like your game is going to improve after just a few tournaments to prepare she needs to invest some of her prize money into acquiring a grass court at her home (like how Pegula has her own clay and hard court at her mansion in florida)

You can still do media stuff if you are injured

She had two wrist operations plus an ankle operation

That’s tough going for one so young especially given her profession

Interesting to see that just as his young opponent hit his first good period of play .. Djokovic suddenly ‘needed’ a break and ran off court with an official close behind on his heels!!

Note Djokovic has won the following 4 games and second set … and the young guy’s confidence is completely shot

Mmmmmmmm
