Attagirl Emma. Well done!!! 💪

 

Undefeated in China 🤭

 

A routine win for Emma. I wanted Bucsa to win or at least give a serious challenge to Raducanu but she didn't play anywhere close to well enough.

 

You so obviously did not actually watch the match.

 

 

 

That was a much better showing than Seoul. This is the Emma I need to see. Aggressive and dynamic. Bucsa is no slouch so to beat her this comfortably is a really good sign. Jessica next.

 

 

WTA commentator - is he related to Taylor ?

Cultural respect

 

 

Emma served really well and played aggressively throughout the match.Should be interesting against Pegula but have to beat the best to progess up the rankings.

 

Jess Radu is a great match

 

Let's go!

Pegula will be tough, though.

 

Let's go!

Pegula will be tough, though.

I agree. But it'll be hard to know which version of Pegula will show up. She had a great USO and could continue to carry that form with her, but she can also be a bit inconsistent and has had some random losses this year, so you never know.

 

Mum is there for support. Girl if one day she changes her nationality, it is understandable.

 

Yes, Emma should consider becoming Chinese, the Chinese people will love her and President Xi will protect her from the crazy British tabloids.

Emma & Queenwen playing doubles together at the Olympics in 2028 and win gold for China will be a dream scenario.

 

^ Agreed. The other day I saw a clip posted in EE from the recent NIKE event. Qinwen Zheng was speaking Chinese and Mirra asked Emma if she understood what she was saying. Here's the very genuine and cute response below from the video. LOL

 

Cute

 

Raducanu wns the Romanian-Moldovan derby

 

She played against a qualifier again? This is becoming absurd. After all the draw luck she had this year, she deserves to draw Iga, Sabalenka or Rybakina in the earliest possible round of every tournament next season.

 

Emma is seeded, so earliest is next round when she plays Pegula.

 

I am surprised why Bucsa is not a TF darling. She too knows many languages.
She plays creative tennis and has a fascinating personal story. She lives in an out of the way part of Spain, does not have social media presence, has almost no sponsors and her father is her coach and physio.
She played well against Raducanu, just could not win the most important points.

 

We are total flakes around here. The more dramatic, extroverted, best dressed, emotional roller coaster, braggadocio, the better.

 

Yes, the lack of bikini photos weights her down.
However, considering the progressive bent of TF she clearly hits the category of oppressed. Her father came from the poorest country in Europe to Spain to work as a security guard in some remote historic Palace and made his daughter a top 100 professional tennis player.
