Tennis 2021

Fernandez must be desperate to get off court. Thats gotta hurt.

Britian got a new superstar. Shes a marketer's dream.

Always felt the whole keeping them on court is feckin brutal. Can they just goto the locker rooms for 10mins? Surely they can? I'd be straight into the locker room.
 
You can see the blood seeping through now. It was clearly a mandatory stop. No need to cry to the official?

Minor point though as generally thought she was fine, played well too
I'm pretty sure Emma would have probably done the same thing, having felt she had momentum. It's not the end of the world for her to do that the way people have gone on. She complained, it was shut down and she moved on. People carrying on like she went swearing and throwing her racket etc.
She did play well, and just wasn't good enough in the end, the better player won and happy for that, just didn't feel the need for posters to insult her, it was so classless.
 
She’s younger than some of those ball girls.
 
What a final I've watched. I feel for Hernandez, she's 19 and thinks that injury break broke her momentum. Emma was the better player, though. This could be the start of something special.
 
Billie Jean King? Hasn't she been saying some controversial stuff recently? Or am I getting the wrong person? Thought they'd have ditched her.
 
On closer inspection that umpire has had a tonne of work on her face.

Sure she is going to bust straight onto redcafe and get upset at our posts tbh :lol:

Mad watching this trophy presentation, it's like I'm watching the youth championship :lol:
 
How did he ever get the nickname "Tiger Tim", was it supposed to be ironic?
 
Doesn't justify people calling her a "little bitch". Like seriously. :rolleyes:

I agree with that, but hadn't seen it. Obviously taking it a bit far.

She didn't just move on though. She complained, an official explained the situation, and she continued to complain for an extended period of time.
 
Exactly, but then I'd call Emma a little bitch too. If someone's a dick, then they're a dick.

She's had a fantastic tournament but her moaning about a medical time out which was enforced was a joke. It wasn't like Emma went for a pretendy piss.
Geez.
Just think it's very classless to not give a teenage the benefit of the doubt, having just played in the biggest game of her life and clearly was affected by the occasion, but sure...keep thinking she's whatever shite has been spewed about her in the dying minutes of what was a special moment between 2 amazing teenagers I guess.
 
Is this the first time a woman wins a grand slam without dropping a set?
Nope, Swiatek won RG is similar fashion last year. I don't have the stats but imagine it's been done a number of times.
