    Emma Raducanu 😮
    Local girl, used to practise in Petts Wood.
    Anyone know what club she used to play at? 
    She went to Newstead School and trained at the Bromley Tennis Centre - which, conveniently, are right next door to each other

    Newstead Wood, same as Dina Asher-Smith.

    Romanian/Chinese parents.
    Great attitude. Sensible plans. 
    Prize money to be used on better coaching.

    Early herself about £100k so far this week too!   Not bad at 18!

    Hopefully she has a good run.

    Especially as it'll be up against the Belgium Italy game, probably the second most interesting QF

    Andy Murray's father-in-law Nigel Sears is Raducanu’s coach,

    Evans in a spot of trouble, down two sets to one. On serve in the fourth set.

    Shame if he loses this one - he's got a decent draw into the QF if he can play well.

    Agreed, Korda looked impressive from the bits I saw.

    Evans and Murray crash out back to back. Shame.

    Norrie up tomorrow against Federer…… second on centre court.

    Anyone else see the Jabeur v Muguruza game earlier?

    Jabeur literally threw up with nerves on match point, I found it quite endearing to see how much nerves can still affect the players etc.

    Hope she goes on a run now, she played really well too.

    Wow. I assume she did it off the main playing area, and not on the baseline!

    It does mean a lot, especially if you've been playing small arenas or in front of empty venues

    Yeah she hid it a bit behind the back partitions by the line judges etc.

    Raducanu looks the real deal to me.

    Yes I saw Jabeur throw up on match point. Never seen that before. The umpire said something to her afterwards - I think he wanted her to wait before serving so they could clear her sick up.

    Yes just what I was saying.
    Our best prospect since Barker & Vagina Wade & possibly/probably better than Jo Durex.

    Really impressed with Raducanu, a great serve and powerful ground shots.

    Me too. Maybe now she has done her A levels she can devote even more time to tennis?

    There have been a few that have been promising, like Laura Robson. Let's hope she makes it. And isn't Palace!
