I see radacnu has just been beaten in the Australian open, was following the updates on the sky sports app, she came back from a set down to 1 each, then in the decider according to sky she was looking the stronger player.
2 seconds after she loses the headline is "sick raducanu crashes out of the Australian open".
Why is it whenever a British player loses they always have some sort of injury up their sleeve to blame

Only shocked they didn't blame us.

Tennis sucks anyway.
Apart from monkey tennis of course.

I'm proud of this forum. Two posts in and monkey tennis has been rightly mentioned.

She seems to have a tendency to have some ailment any time she loses that’s for sure.

Don’t marry a tennis player. To them love means nothing

Good game at the moment between Rybaking and Blinkiva.

18 points all in the deciding tiebreak.

I don’t know much about tennis but Emma Raducanu has had a number of injuries. I just hope the media don’t pressure her, Luke Littler and other young stars we have.

When Raducanu won the US Open, we had the last game or two on in the pub late and everyone stopped partying (they had DJ / karaoke on) to watch.

Old Billy was going “How on earth can you be half Romanian and half Chinese?”

To be fair, she was wretching into a towel mid set, I don't think it's an excuse.

Having watched it, it was a very physical match with lots of long games. Tough one to play when you're coming back from many injuries and probably not 100% match fit.

You can see she has plenty of ability. As long as she stays injury free, gets fit and gets some confidence back, she can do well.

UK media built her up to be the UK version of Hingis when she came out of nowhere.

Young age and fame can affect you mentally. The injuries could well be psychosomatic.

If I was her I say fuck it. I'm sure she'd make money being a pundit.

Haven't we already got a tennis thread?

Tennis Thread

Might 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...
