Just realised this was one of the big sporting events that the UK hadn't won.
I thought the ODI Cricket World Cup was one of the last ones to tick off but forgot about women's tennis.
The Euro's is one but struggling to think of many more that we actively take part in on a serious basis.

Fuck all. There's a 36 year old footballer at the end of their career earning that every 5 weeks...Christ, that’s a fair win bonus!

I’m admittedly a bit of a fairweather tennis fan but watching that today reminded me just how good women’s tennis is at the top level. The long rallies are so much more enjoyable than watching the men play.

Might be lolMight be a short lived thread but Raducanu's about to start her 4th round match v Shelby Rogers on Amazon Prime.
Raducanu hasn't dropped a set yet, she's had to play 3 qualifying rounds as well, so she's won 6 matches 2-0. She's up against an American in New York, who's just knocked out the No1 seed, so it'll be tough.
Big opportunity for Raducanu though.

From today's Times...
"The influences on Leylah Fernandez’s tennis game are nothing if not eclectic. Her father, Jorge, remains her primary coach, despite his sporting background coming in football rather than tennis. A former professional player at a string of clubs across South America, he is a huge admirer of Pep Guardiola, watching the documentary All or Nothing: Manchester City with his daughter. He encouraged her to take aspects of Guardiola’s approach into her game, emphasising the values of patience and varying angles of attack.
“I like Pep Guardiola, his style is kind of like my tennis game so I’m learning from him,” she said this year. “I love Real Madrid, but right now we’re kind of taking a break from them and supporting Manchester City.”"

You'll either never hear of her again, save for a good but losing run in the odd tournament or she'll be the the uber dominator of women's tennis for the next 10 years.
