SuperBacon Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Well, really I just wanted to flag up that Channel 4 are going to be showing Emma Raducanu's US Open Final tonight from 8pm. What a year she's had, and even more so what a US Open she's had. Not a dropped set and a fantastic chance to immortalise herself. Anyway, I had a look for a Tennis thread but couldn't find one so whack all your racket swinging in here. No Djokovic though. That cunts not welcome.

Mr_Danger Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I hope she wins then denounces her Britishness. Really fuck with the gammons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looking forward to watching Djokovic in the final. I can't see anyone usurping him at the top anytime soon. World class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She leads to a complication. With Murray we only had Scottish to throw at him when he lost. With her do we call her Canadian, Romanian or Chinese when she loses?

lanky316 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 They are, I'd been discussing Budapest elsewhere and had that in mind not Bucharest! Managed to ninja my realisation I'd typed the wrong one while typing here. Besides, they're basically the same place anyway /gammon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) She's fantastic. She didn't lose outright at Wimbledon either, withdrew due to breathing problems. She hasn't dropped a single set so far in the US Open, which is remarkable. Fingers crossed she pulls it off! 1 hour ago, PowerButchi said: Looking forward to watching Djokovic in the final. I can't see anyone usurping him at the top anytime soon. World class. Djokovic is a massive cunt. It'd be a shame if he overtook a great ambassador like Federer in grand slam titles. Edited September 11, 2021 by PunkStep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means the types that call Murray all sorts of anti-Scottish slurs when he doesn't win a grand slam. And there are loads out there. 'She's Romanian' was trending on Twitter the other day 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted September 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 Love how Amazon Prime have the rights to this, but my Channel 4 feed, from Amazon, is about a minute ahead of the Prime App. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Fucking hell. I love tennis, but my god it's like watching a drawn-out penalty shootout. My heart can't deal with this shit. Chuffed for Emma. Without dropping a set! Fernandez can hold her head high after this tournament- she doesn't know when she's beat. What fantastic careers these two could have if they kick on from this. Edited September 11, 2021 by PunkStep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
