Fair play to her of course - who wouldn't have taken her flash in the pan success and money.
But the reifying of it (much like the women's footy) is vomit making. |

Correct tattcorner , wasn't trying to denigrate her achievement just quoting some factual things relevant to her journey.

I'm probably biased towards Emma
 as I had £100 e/w 1-2-3 at 4/1 with Hills for SPOTY.... a rash bet for me and haven't had a tennis bet since  |

By:
In betting terms she was great bet for SPOTY - no way the PC beeb were going to let her not win it!

Pulled out of another comp thru injury!!!! I honestly think she now has more money then she could have ever dreamed of, and thinks fcuk it I can't be àrsed!

gravy ... i think you are miles off the mark. she could have taken on more £££ stuff ages ago . and retired ... i've watched a fair bit of women's tennis for a few years . unless you are in the top 100 its a slog and half . but even some of the top players get emotional . they are players . its their life .

Emma's body must be made of glass. Last year she was forced to pull out of various tournaments with injuries to her hip, back (twice), abdomen, glutes and wrist. And when she can play, she can't grip the bloody racket because her hands are covered in blisters.
A couple of days into 2023, it's her ankle. Maybe it is the opposite problem from not being arsed, and Emma needs to take time to recover fully so that she does not stress one part of her body while guarding whichever part she injured last time. |

Think your're right Ram. Most unusual for someone her age to suffer so many injuries.
She couldn't possibly have achieved what she has without being very fit so I wonder if her training is sport-specific enough. As for the ankle there's hardly a tennis player in history who hasn't sprained or strained an ankle at some time (apart from Djokovic who has ankles made of rubber!). |

Hype,one hit wonder…imo

Looking fit today
but getting thrashed. I feel another injury coming on half way through the second set! |

Or can Emma stage an Andy Murray-like comeback?
|
|
By:
Apparently not.
|
|
By:
like Murray I think it will take a while for Radacanu to strengthen and grow into her frame.
One hit wonder? I think not  |
|
By:
You make a good point werbie. I would add, not only physically but mentally. That's not a criticism of her
just that it takes a lot of experience to handle the pressures she's under. |

Just split from her 5th coach in 2 years, me thinks the girl has issues!
A strong wrist and good hand/eye co-ordination is needed.......and that's just to watch her play. |
