Emma Raducanu

[Real Al]

Amazed there hasn't been a thread about this yet.

Emma Raducanu just became the first qualifier EVER to reach the final of a major tournament. Even more impressive, she hasn't lost a set, or even been taken to a tie-break.

She started the summer as the 10th ranked Brit.

I think we're seeing something pretty special here.

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

It is indeed incredible.
She faces another teen in the final (who was also unseeded) - first teen final since Hingis v Williams back in 1999.
Should be a thrilling final

[The Mindsweep]

I've watched all her matches and she just works every opponent out. Obviously a very intelligent young lady with her A*'s in her recent A levels. Totally focused on each point, her opponent can never relax. She has completely destroyed each experienced player she has played and you can see the hopelessness on their faces as it was happening.

I thought Boris Becker was qualifier when he won?

Nice to have a decent tennis player for a change

Interesting that all our female players that have done something these last few years are all born outside the UK. Raducanu, Watson, Konta, Robson. Take that Farage!

[B.whitehouse+10more]

[greyhound]

so young so good many more years left.

Notable exception Anne Keothavong born in Hackney.

Before youse all get carried away getting behind England's Rose can somebody confirm tennis bats is a bona fide sport.

The Canadians, Rumanians and Chinese must be fuming that they have no claim over this plucky little Brit.

Bit like the Scotch people when that English bloke Murray was winning stuff.

Some of the Windrush people had lived here over 40 years, but they were deemed not to be British and deported.
Young Emma is Good tennis player, but she ain't British

She most certainly is if thats what her passport says.
I don't think it matters what you reckon on the subject.

I wonder if the Old Emma, having served a purpose, may face the same fate?

Unlikely, its black and Asians England doesn't like.

[Millennial Snowflake]

Err she is part Asian

Any more lefties wanna say something bigoted? It’s open season on this thread

I often agree with you on political issues but absolutely not this!
Everybody who is entitled to hold a British passport and gains it is BRITISH.

Origins and ethnicity really is irrelevant to this.
