It's an unfortunate clash with the Last Night of the Proms.

I am so pleased she took the time out she needed and felt able to come back stronger than ever. That old toad is claiming her success is based on his comments!

She's already won, as far as I'm concerned, but getting the trophy and prize money would be an amazing bonus. Her commercial opportunities are guaranteed now.

That was amazing, not just because she turned the page with her foot.

"Why is Fernandez questioning a time out to stop blood flow?

Because she is a set down. A break down. And needs anything she can get to try and get back into the match. If she can force her opponent to play with an injury, it will only suit her.

Yes. I am so fecking glad that Amazon didn't be selfish and hog the broadcasting rights, and that Channel 4 had the balls to buy the free-to-air privilige. Should have been on the BBC, but I don't care. I got to see it and I am completely thrilled

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or supportive. But she just beat a player that had herself beaten 3x top 5 ranked (globally) players on the way to that match.

This is Emma's second only Grand Slam. Ever. And she had to qualify. And she won without dropping a single set. 10 matches. In three weeks. Premier League footballers cannot put that kind of physicality in before their managers start whining about over-working.

Being ranked #23 now is only because of the way rankings are scored. She was outside the top 300 when 2021 started. If we based it on performances in 2021 only? She would be top 3 at minimum.

Then I will take your comments as supportive and the rest of the post I made earlier was for the benefit of the people whom skim the thread to garner the facts they might need. Lots of people have shown interest and maybe they will find it helpful

I've just read she was 338th before Wimbledon.

I may not be asking the internet the right question as I can't find if she has risen faster than anyone else ever.

She also got an A* in Maths and an A in Economics in her A Levels.

She has basically only played two top tier WTA events.. Wimbledon and this… basically she was due to play in a 2nd level tour event next week before all this started!!!!!
