Post any gossip, articles, social media activity or interviews concerning Emma NOT related to her tennis career in here.

Daily Mail articles are going to be featured quite heavily in this thread.. :oh:

They are not allowed to post in player forums - when they do the mods take swift actions to delete.

Looks like the original article was in The Sun which is one of our worst "news" papers, wouldn't believe a word they print and this time is no different - everything I've read (or heard in interviews with Emma) she was planning her career in tennis, not applying to universities, and her second choice of career was finance, not law.

Didn't take the Daily Mail long to get in on the act. Apparently Emma was 'shocked' by HRVY's romance with another woman. Strangely though she didn't appear too devastated in that birthday pic she posted. 😂

I have actually given notice as mod :tongueout:

Emma has been following a couple of Scandinavian domestic interior designers on Instagram (Joanna Laven and Lars Myren).

Could this mean that Emma is thinking about getting a pad of her own somewhere, and these designers give her ideas about decor? Might Emma want to live somewhere closer to Heathrow, and the various practice facilities of the LTA and AELTC?

The three-bed semi in Bromley must be getting full of Emma's tennis stuff and trophies/awards.

Good spot Wobs! Not sure if I was her I would buy a place next to Heathrow Airport like in Slough for example - I don't think it's that fancy there and also the noise from the aircraft might disturb her visualisation exercises where she closes her eyes and imagines what it would be like to be at match point in the Wimbledon final.

It could be as simple as that her parents have said she can have £200 of her US Open prize money (which they are 'looking after' for her) to spend on redecorating her bedroom and is looking for ideas. :D

On a separate note Wobs if you get chance I would be very interested to see a full listing and categorisation of everyone Emma follows on Instagram. If you are too busy perhaps one of your assistants (i.e. teddy bears) could look into it? :cool:

Can't be done really - too many private accounts on there, and I don't recognise who they are.

Emma follows Alex Arnault, son of LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault (thought to be one of the three richest people in the world). There could be other tie-ups with LVMH brands in future (luggage, watches etc).

Emma has been a long-time follower of two upmarket lifestyle accounts - Gentleman's Gram and Only Classy - which suggests to me that Emma is interested in the fine things in life. IMG have already positioned her in this space with her endorsements (except Sports Direct, obvs).

I'm curious if Emma knows who Eileen Gu is. Eileen follows Emma on IG at least so Eileen knows her. She's almost a twin of Emma here in the US and is getting more coverage now that the winter Olympics is up.

Eileen is 18 years old and a champion in her niche sport as well (freestyle skiing). Her mom is Chinese, dad is American (although no info on him anywhere). She speaks Mandarin. Almost perfect score on her SAT (pre-university exam I'm guessing is like A-levels in UK). She went to Met Gala in 2021, too. She is a Tiffany ambassador as well. Also is represented by IMG (models). Scary how similar they are. Eileen is going to Stanford this year while Emma is delaying university. And more controversial is Eileen is representing China and not the US in the Olympics, which is kind of sketchy how she's able to pull that off without giving up US Passport...

Beijing will only recognize her as a Chinese national. But she is still an American to Washington ( possibly recognizing her as a dual citizen ).

China's hockey teams are more interesting.

"Most of our North American guys have at least AHL experience, and some have NHL experience," said Tam, whose mother is French-Canadian and father is three-quarters Chinese from Mozambique and owns two Chinese restaurants in Quebec City. "As much as we don't know who'll play for Team China yet, I think it will be way better than people think."

Wasn’t there a ‘community thread’ posted for Emma’s Emperors to comment in? I’m sure a chat thread was created but it seems to have disappeared?

Oh, that’s a shame. Did they delete their account or something then?

Click on ‘my profile’ and then click on your avatar pic (which I see is currently set to standard) and it will give you the option to edit and upload a photo to your profile.
