Loads of poorer nations finally get a star of their own and then the golden dollar puts a first world flag around their shoulders.

China and Romania have had tennis stars before the UK, especially in the women's game. She's lived in UK since age 2 gone to school and been coached in the UK and wouldn't regard herself as anything other than British. She's not like Konta or Rusedski. She first picked up a racquet in the UK, gone to school and trained there all her life. Nothing to do with coming to Britain for money. Her folks are both financial executives.

She loves nothing more than visiting Romania twice a year to taste her grandmothers delicious cooking and speaks mandarin at home with her mother....the times friday September 10th.

Emma's 18. She's lived here since she was 2. This is where she learned to play tennis and to look both ways before crossing the road. She went to school in south London and got two A-levels this summer.

Portman that is unfair and untrue. Thr 'r' word is an easy weapon in todays society. My irk is that poor kids from lower class backgrounds never get a lookin at tennis in UK
|

By:
what I dont get with the English public is they jump on a bandwagon the majority have never heard of Emma till this week and Emma is nothing to do with any of you really yet you support her like she is one of your sisters.
a bit like the world cup and euros when everyone became some sort of fan when really they never watch football or are never connected to the sport. |

@ballyregan -- sort of except everyone knows ER from her Wimbledon run a couple of months back.

By:
@Celtic warrior -- Not sure why poor kids can't play tennis. There are tennis courts in all the parks round this way, balls are cheap, rackets, dunno.
Thing is, if you look at Tim Henman and Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu, the common factor is their parents were into tennis. So maybe it is not about money or class but that most schools don't play tennis so it is down to the family. |

By:

they must be rock hard in canada, she was like you've got blood running down your leg ... and you need a medic for that do you. umm, yeah |
|
By:
Ballyregan fuming at his lay of Emma nap!!
|
|
By:
Don't be so cynical..the medical break was not her choice but would have been the tournament rule as you cannot drip blood all over the court these days plus which girl disappeared for ages after losing the first set.

cracking performance by her.
Stays fit should win a few more. WD. |
|
By:
Well done kid. She has got the will to win as well as the ability. That comes from being encouraged and reinforced by your role models, such as your parents and extended family. If you have young people around you inspire them to be the best they can be.

amazing british success story and the usual suspects start moaning about race.

By:
Agreed dave. Summed it up perfectly.

Well done Emma. And well done C4 .
|
|
By:
Yes well done Channel 4 but just a shame this rabble of a government want to flog it off to goodness knows who.
|
|
By:
what price was emma with betfair
|
|
By:
Channel four has long been hijacked by the virtue singing bleeding heart Highbury communists. I remember it's first day when it really was the only forth channel and was about pure TV not playground politics.
Five go wild in Dorset Brookside Noe look at it, typified by channel four news each evening. |
|
By:
C4 news is excellent, both in content and presentation.
Tory government runs scared of this programme as highlighted by their refusal to have Ministers appearing to answer questions during the height of the Covid pandemic. |
|
By:
Who wants to be harangued on camera by a Highbury communist posing as an impartial journalist, what's in it for them?
I'm sure they'd speak to impartial news presenters, but there are none. |

By:
Sparrow..why need to bring politics into your comment when praising a young tennis player being shown on TV
|
|
By:
dont bet on tennis now wheres that switch sparrow I thought you were old school I was wrong
I just detest these silly middle aged people who have never met her have zero connection with her yet they pretend they are connected at the end of the day ask emma for a fiver or her family for her autograph and she will tell you to feck off. as for ramruna stating everyone knew her at wimbledon she was 500/1 plus to win spoty now she has won the usa open she is 1/20 I say the usa open victory is the reason why everyone knows her. |
|
By:
ps emma seems a lovely sweet girl top draw tennis player but if any of you walked across the same path as her I would be surprised she would be allowed to speak to you hence I dont understand peoples new affiliation with her that is all

It's called patriotism. No wonder this country's going to pot.
|
|
By:
swifty its called people jumping on a bandwagon you will see all these fat middle aged women on tv crying today doing interviews from random pubs saying emmas so lovely the type that turn up at royal weddings making out harrys there best friend.
