Don't worry. He'll probably be on Page 3.

No chance. Headline will be ‘Raducanu earns $2.5 Million for 3 weeks work.....only beaten by Ronaldo at $4 Million per month’.

Brilliant.

I have to say quite a coup for channel 4 to get it for those that don’t have Amazon Prime but good advertising for them too. Win win for all I’d say.

Hopefully this is the start of the Murray legacy. British players who are going to win Grand Slams. Belief in themselves. Wimbledon is her main aim now.

Think Murray has been doing a lot to help behind the scenes too, I know he's been helping Raducanu.

Britain has some very good tennis players who need to make the same steps that Raducanu has made.

Raducanu though has all the skills to become a multi-slam champion. Arguably the best return of serve on tour, great serving and a phenomenal backhand.

Haha…just realised the tournament hasn’t finished & the Men’s final is tomorrow…and even as a tennis fan I’ll probably not watch it.

I was thinking I didn't even know who was in it.

Two 18yr old tennis lasses in the US Open final showing that quality and fitness and strength and resilience. Great to see, but at what age must they identify talent and coach it like that? Great to see, but these girls can't have known anything other than training, nutrition, discipline etc all their young lives. Were champions this young when we were young?

Tracy Austin, Swiss Miss Hingis was 16yo Becker 17yo

She didn’t even congratulate her opponent. Very poor

Not sure what you watched but her first words were congratulations to Emma.

I have a 16 year of daughter, she's in the top 50 women badminton players in the country. trying to use this as inspiration rather than "why did you not play tennis" debate I know that'll get brought up.

That was a bit special. There's something intangible that separates the talented from the champion and this girl has it. So articulate and composed too, a credit to her family. Well done Emma.

Emma has the world at her feet and rightly so
