Kind of, she said 'I played great so well done Emma for beating me' or something like that at the start of her speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more class from our champione! She’s just lost a major tournament final to a player ranked far below her going into the tournament. She congratulated Emma and her team. It’s a lot easier to big up an opponent that you’ve just beaten in a final than one you’ve lost to. I thought both spoke well to be honest. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Must admit the only women’s sport I usually enjoy is foxy mud wrestling , but those two were bloody impressive , be interesting to see if they go on and dominate the women’s game for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2021 How American to state the prize money and hand over the cheque. The powers that be at The All England Club must be having palpitations at the very thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably wanking in a sock 3 months after my A levels. She is going to be a zillionaire in a few years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's mostly gutted and not as 'polished' as Emma is. ER has clearly had a team around her for ages. If LF is still like that over the subsequent tournaments as she grows up then fair enough, but I'd be prepared to put this one just down to not thinking straight. The photos of the two of them holding their trophies, they look so damn young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wouldn't come to mind but yes, that's exactly what they would think and a major difference between us Brits and our American cousins who would think it totally reasonable and normal. There is nowt queer as folk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2021 Her opponent was spitting because of the injury pause, she'll be kicking the shit out of something round about now - her entourage often looked like they expected her to win - have it!

mikeyp102 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Women’s tennis can sometimes be a very hard watch (not the Kenneth style). There is often a lot of screeching and shouting, which can overshadow the play. This was different, some excellent play by both and Emma’s quality shone through. Well done her! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
