Must admit I bottled the last couple of games , I switched over the tension was getting to me, how these sports women/ men keep it together is beyond me
I am amazed at the confidence, composure and determination of someone so young. At 18, just after my A levels I was in the park drinking white lightning and port trying to get off with Helen. Emma has just played 10 matches against some of the worlds best and won a major tournament and then very eruditely spoke to the world. The women’s game is wide open, I home she continues to succeed.
I'm delighted she won, really chuffed, but didn't think it was a great game, thought Fernandez was well below her best.
And I worry about the media frenzy and commodification and tabloid prurience and the light going out of her eyes.
Wasn't Iga Swiatek the future of tennis last week?
