Emma Raducanu

[Pubteam Lomas]

I think she has the attributes to be a top 10 player, but she seems weak mentally.
Someone like Steve Peters (Chimp Paradox author) would be a fantastic addition to her team.

Agree with this. It's those mental attributes that generally separate the very best from the rest. All pro athletes are incredibly talented; they have to be to get where they are. But it's the mental side that gives the greats their edge. I don't think she has that, but she's already achieved more than the vast majority of tennis players ever will, so fair play to her. If that's all she ever wins, people will say she's underachieved, but the reality is probably the opposite.

She's young and good looking

She don't know what it is but there's gotta be more.....

 

[surrounded by idiots]

She don't know what it is but there's gotta be more.....

She needs to find a way out, and kick down that door

Enough of the Boomtown Rats already!

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I think she needs to happen upon a trainer and approach to training that suits her style of play and mentality….


Look at Murray, he was gash for many years and went through a series of trainers….until he found something that worked for him and for a few years was a top player….

I don’t remember Murray being gash for many years. I think it is fair to say, however, that the appointment of Lendl was important.

Lots of slagging off of a grand slam winner on this thread. There’s some miserable folk about.

Playing very well at Queens right now

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

She lost earlier

 

[BlueHammer85]

Emma Raducanu swept aside Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova to reach the quarter-finals at Queen's and will regain her place as British number one.

Against the top seed

 

[Eaststander1]

It would appear that young Emma has had her chips again ....

Oh well, it was good while it lasted ..... keep smilin' Emma, there's always another tournament (or another injury) around the corner eh ?

 

[ancoats]

Against the top seed

She played ok, but the big serving Zheng looked powerful and will be hard to beat on grass

 

[halfmist]

She's young and good looking

And talks posh which makes her even sexier
