I am a huge tennis fan and Chinese. What a marvelous player! So happy for her and British tennis and tennis in general.
-
From Ireland - well done to Emma and to the whole British Tennis Family for training and for supporting her so well! Letβs hope she gets the space she needs now to relax and to develop in the best way.
-
Thatβs an extremely high value woman right there. Quality in every way possible!
-
Felt so sorry for her when she had to retire from Wimbledon and now she's turned it around and made history. She's Emmamazing.
-
She's a machine. When she steps on the court she's a normal bubbly teenager, but when the game starts her demeanor changes in an instant and she becomes a ruthless destroyer. True mark of a champion.
-
Shes such a adorable character with steel nerves as well !
-
We are proud of Emma's personality, smile and gentleness. So far we have seen muscle and emotion in every match including tennis, but not Emma, ββshe won the hearts of the audience and even the world.

First time to post on BBC channel, congratulations to Emma! She is a very talented player and a very good role model of both academic and athletic for the young generation and adult too.
-
Gosh this beautiful girl has SO much going for her. Incredible - unbelievable talent, drop dead gorgeous, poise, class and such a warm engaging personality. Oh, and sheβs a Brit. One of ours!! You go Emma. The country is so very proud of you ππ»ππ»ππ»
-
Two amazing girls. Congratulations to Emma. Bravo to Leylah whose road to the finals was just too tough. This US Open was special, to say the least. A new generation is confirmed.
-
Radders is such a breathe of fresh air. I'll be watching the whole WTA tour season for the first time ever because of her

What sets her game apart? Martina Navratilova said in commentary that she has the best return of serve she's ever seen, excepting only Serena. That means she has chances in almost ever receiving game. Add a solid serve (I think she gave up 9 breaks in 10 matches) and you have an intimidating, demoralising game for any opponent to handle. But that's not all - she has a high tennis IQ and the skills to implement her strategy. I've seen the interviews, and all ten opponents were beating themselves up because they felt that they hadn't played their best. This is because Emma breaks up their normal patterns and won't let them develop any rhythm or momentum. By the end of the match they are bemused and running out of ideas. I'll be disappointed if she doesn't become a dominant #1 with a nice collection of slams by the time she's done. She has the tools.
