Yeah, must be terrible she'll only end up with half.
Should've stayed at home & played on Betfair instead - far more lucrative & sensible. |

wesdag she would not be allowed to play on betfair properly she is under 25 so she would have a 500 a month affordability limit applied

From the Telegraph's report of the Tiffany deal:-
Raducanu’s only two existing endorsement deals are with sporting brands and are set to be eclipsed, quickly. Raducanu is signed to one-year rolling contracts with Nike and racket supplier Wilson, worth “only” £100,000-a-year when combined. After the status elevation from Tiffany & Co., these are expected to swiftly be replaced by rival brands or renewed for at least 10 times their previous value. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/people/girl-diamond-earrings-emma-raducanus-deal-tiffany-means/ As an aside, it looks like the battle for raquet vs racket has been lost. |

Is there something strange about her family?in an interview she said something about her efforts not usually good enough for her parents.,she didn’t exactly rush back to the uk after being in the us for quite a time & im sure they could have gone to the final despite COVID if they’d really wanted.in the welcome home photos this morning mother nowhere to be seen.
There could be a variety of reasons why the parents were a no show. One thing is probably true - that those parents who don't molycuddle and reward their kids too easily, generally instil a determination in their offspring to do better. Whether this helps them become settled, rounded people in later life, is open to question. Having said that, ER seemed like a very sweet, happy little 11 year old when interviewed as an u12 UK national finalist. Agassi hated the game as a kid but did it cos his dad pushed him and was determined to live up to expectations. Roddick's dad was a disciplinarian of military standard. ER has that steeliness that is very rare. She talks about executing and understands that winning is a mentality - she has self belief in abundance and thrives under pressure (despite her wobble at Wimbledon). We haven't see the likes of her in the woman's game in most of our lifetimes. Anyone who thinks she is a flash in the pan, like a lot of the others we've had in GB, is mistaken. She really is that good and the level of the final was very high... not to drop a set in qualifying or in the main draw is good going. The main danger to her is embracing the celebrity lifestyle. She might not fulfil her potential immediately. Sampras won very little for a while after winning the US open at 19 and she'll have a target on her back. But she'll follow in the footsteps of Seles and Hingis as young slam champions. Little doubt for me. |

Sacked her coach apparently.
|
|
By:
She changes coaches more often than she changes socks. The guy who has just been sacked replaced the coach she had at Wimbledon. Nothing to see here.
Aiui, she hires a coach based on what specific part of her game she feels needs improvement, then moves on to the next one. The danger is, I suppose, that the very top coaches might prefer something more permanent. |
|
By:
Who is making these decisions for her, a manager, LTA or her parents?
|
|
By:
"Sacked her coach" is a bit harsh - Andy Richardson was only ever there on a week to week type basis and was essentially just a "chaperone" and friendly face from her past while she was in the States. Pretty sure they would also have ended that temporary arrangement if she had lost in the first round of qualifying.

"For me, the most exciting thing is trying to do well at each of the different tournaments," said Raducanu. "It sounds weird, but [although] it would have been great to defend the title, I kind of want new experiences." Translated: I fluked that tourney win and now I hope I fly under the radar long enough for me to fluke another.

How has the girl she beat in the final, Fernandes/Hernandes done in the last year?
Were all the top players missing last year for these two to get to the final? |
|
By:
Fernandez was unseeded last year but now ranked 13 in the world.
Raducanu had to win 7 matches to win the trophy last year and was a qualifier herself. She beat 5 x unseeded players , one ranked 11 and one ranked 17 to lift trophy. Basically the draw just fell apart for one reason or another. |

Thank you Hayden.

Desperate "British" media too busy gushing over their newly found adopted treasure to see the win for what it was.

By:
Sorry should have added , as a response to Lovegod's question..
Fernandez had a totally different path to the final beating Osaka ( 3 ) , Kerber ( 16), Svitolina ( 5 ) and Sabalenka ( 2 ) In the top half as soon as Barty , Pliskova , Kvitova , Swiatek and Andreescu flopped before the 1/4 final you were left with no slam pedigree in that half and the draw became extremely lop sided. |

She'll probably retire in a year or two and join the BBC commentary team.

As for joining that channel they don't really cover any live sport so it'd be like a Father Christmas role of 2 weeks work and 48 weeks holiday a year. Nice gig if you can get it. |

I stopped watching SPOTY fully many years ago (can't stand the pompous rubbish of the presentation).
But, it's become even more disgusting when proper sports people are often mostly ignored in the voting/presentation (e.g. Alun Wynn Jones failing to even place top 3), while the awards now faun over sub groups such as females in short term success and against weaker competition in their sports. This will be reflected again with oozing fauning over the women's football team this year...(vomit). |

Yeah, the cards kind of fell nicely for her, but she's in the record books now (like Foinavon) and they can't take that away from her. Looking forward to the next qualifier that wins a Grand Slam.
