sheepyvillian Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 About time we had an elite female tennis player. There is no doubt that this girl is going to be an absolute star. It's frightening to think what she could achieve. I honestly think she's good enough to win this tournament now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does look like she can go to the very top but theres been a quite a few young female tennis players that has been said about. I can't think of a British female, tennis player who has showed this kind of potential. Even, Andy Murray wasn't as good as that when he was 18.

We have to be careful that we dont build her up her too much. Shes doing great at the moment. She has a good allround game and is a good mover. Defends well. No massive weapons like Osaka but maybe they will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her not starting on the tour until finishing A-levels shows level headed family support, so I'm optimistic she will have good people around her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight As, speaks for itself. She will have all the support she needs, especially with the psychological aspect of being in the sporting limelight. She really is a breath of fresh air and a great boost for British, female tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 A set up after losing the first two games. She really is the complete package. A bit of a female Djokovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2021 She’s very very good. Dominant first set although Sakkari does look dangerous at times. Promising stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2021 Some of the stats are amazing. First British woman to reach the US Open final in 53 years. We have been truly crap at tennis since forever. She sure does look awesome. Articulate as well, she's got a guaranteed media career once her tennis is over.
