Some biographical information. Not, as you might expect, from the Bromley Times, or from a British newspaper at all, but from a Romanian source.

Ty for clarification. Raducanu is 100% a Romanian prime name so i knew that at least her father is Romanian. She even has a Romanian look. Hope she does well in the future. I will try to keep an eye on her.

Ps: It wasn't necessary to translate an article from Romanian to english. :p

Last year when Emma played the U12 Orange Bowl where she lost in the 1st round to Whitney Osuigwe (who's since won a G4 title this year and pushed the semi-finalist Levashova this week at the GA tournament in Mexico) & she ended up winning the title, but it's also worth noting that Emma then won 10 straight matches to win the U12 consolation draw. Obviously not as good as the actual title but still a great effort. :yeah:

Too late:(.

I know, I know. But I wanted to post some biographical info, and I thought, if it's not in her own thread, I'll never know where to find it again.

I'm not sure Emma's playing any more meaningful events this year, and then after she's lost in R1 at Tarbes(*) next year to some unknown local wild card, probably no one will post in the thread again for 3 years, or something...

(*) She may have to qualify, if we don't do reciprocal wild cards
Well she did lose in R1 of Tarbes, though not to a wild card. There now follows three years of thread inactivity, broken after she reaches the SF of a G4 and someone asks whatever happened to her.

It's over:(. Emma's now a loser, just like everyone else.

Hannah MCCOLGAN d. Emma RADUCANU 6-7(5) 6-4 6-2

Trying to work out what I was scared about yesterday, perhaps it was that she might lose a match she ought to win. Ah, well. You learn more from your defeats than your victories, so they say.

I don't expect much from next week's Euro champs (draw should appear here), but we'll see.

p.s. I should say that reaching the final was a good result.
