This is a 17 year old winning a tennis Major. That hasn’t been achieved in women’s tennis since 2004, and the only other players to achieve that are:Don't get me too wrong. I watched it and enjoyed, she was brilliant but like most news coverage it just goes too far.
What did that bigoted frog faced bug eyed **** say?Piers Morganis laughable this morning trying to claim his comments were justified/helpful last year and as for Farage the cheeky ****.
I think because in terms of a story this was remarkable at so many levels, a whole bunch of records that are likely to never be broken, not least of all that she has never won a pro-event before the US Open and only managed to qualify for qualifying at the end of last month! Even one of the records would have been a major story, but this is something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and looked back and said wow wasn't sport wacky back then!The coverage is now a little over the top as our media does but it's kept that new rag player out of the news
Very nice, but come on. Who gives a fuck about tennis?
I'm 62 years old and I have played or have friends who have played
Football Rugby Cricket Snooker Darts All types of cards Boxing Martial Arts, lower level car and motor bike sports and even some American sports such as Super Bowl and Entry level NASCAR
Well done to her, but its such a minor / privalaged sport that I cant do it

I think Emma is much more likely to cement herself in the top 10, she has a bigger game than Fernandez and she has so much room to improve conditioning wise. Would be nice to see them both do well long term - they both seem like lovely kids, Canada must be proud of them.Or you could say, a more even spread of talent than the men. Nevertheless, you are probably right. The women's rankings change with amazing rapidity.
The final was high quality, the first three games taking 25 mins or so as they each struggled to get on top. Maybe these two will dominate.
I really like tennis, well I do watch the four Majors. Admittedly, I don’t actually watch women’s tennis though.Very nice, but come on. Who gives a fuck about tennis?

Really? She could (should) have called the medical timeout immediately not after a couple of minutesThe ref handled it very well
Me neither but if she'd had the cut herself she'd be asking for the game to be temporarily stopped... It wasFernandez has said in the post-match interviews that she didn't know the rule on a bleeding cut bringing an immediate halt.
Usually medical timeouts have to wait until there is a changeover.
I can't remember seeing a player getting a cut before.
