Starshine Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) A message from the Queen... In a statement, the Queen said: "I send my congratulations to you on your success in winning the United States Open Tennis Championships. It is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication. I have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent Leylah Fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players. I send my warmest good wishes to you and your many supporters." https://www.royal.uk/queens-message-emma-raducanu-following-her-us-open-win Edited September 11, 2021 by Starshine 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Raducanu isn't afraid of a US court 🙂 Love it .... going to unashamedly steal that one. Thought Fernandez's coaches were all mucho macho and way over the top. Raducanu so serene even when she cut her knee and Fernandez threw a stroppy fit. The overhead smash to get Ad and then ace on the backhand showed her coolness. Wonderful moments .... Best sporting moment of the year by miles .. a qualifier !! Like Crawley, Barnet or South Shields winning the FA Cup . .............wonder if she can take penalties too ???? Southgate ... hmm ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Superb! First time i've ever had me shouting at the TV for a tennis match. An added bonus is the fuckwits on social media who can't be happy, instead are shouting she's not British. I'm a centrist, but people like that are the ultimate gammons, and deserve every bit of ridicule that comes their way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But suddenly becoming an A lister and millionaire in less than a year at such an early age, becomes a huge responsibly both on and off the Court. Hopefully she will have the right people behind her. . It must be a lot to take in at her age, and she is now the UKs number one darling. She has outstanding talent for her age, as does Fernandez. I guess it all depends on how she copes with fame and media attention. There will be a massive weight on her to continually deliver over the next year or two and establish herself as a top professional tennis player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All her Twitter posts, Instagram account, former boyfriends, etc. will be interrogated by the media. If they can't find something to make headlines there, the parents will get the treatment. I hope she's prepared for it. 😠 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the dosh doesn’t go to her head, I’m sorry to say it did with Genie Bouchard, and others. At the end of the day, they’re tennis players. My cousin just told me a funny story about Genie. She comes from Westmount, Montreal’s richest area- Dad was in finance and did well. 5 years ago, in the midst of divorce, her idiot Mom let her home go to the point it was almost condemned, and my cousin, a bylaw officer, had to serve papers basically telling her to “take care of her property, or else”. House was over $2M CAD then, with the gains since COVID probably worth $5M now, expensive neighborhood. Now imagine this lady’s bank account…….had she actually been a decent player and won a Slam or 2. I think she’s set though, she married Enrique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost to another Brit in the Nottingham Open just before Wimbledon and less than six months later ..... If it was swimming or running or cycling you'd be demanding dope testing its so remarkable. Superb athlete and a great arse too .... and a winners cheque for 2.5 million $$$$ .... what is not to like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
