Raducanu

[Carlos J]

I'd love to beat radders with a hard semi

Wouldn't we all, Higgins, wouldn't we all.

Anyway, 6-4 in the final set to Radders. Into the last 16 and two seeds beaten.

I'd like to err beat my seed etc

World number 1 Świątek next.

Our Em, doing us proud.

Didn't see it as started near 4am but Radders lost in straight sets to Świątek. Not a surprise as Świątek is beating nearly everyone easily.

Be good ranking points though for her.

[Zambo]

No disgrace to lose to No 1.

Early bath for the highly fragrant Emm-o

Has Feminist Ally Adrian heard about this? "Loser" Raducanu ... "Bottler" Raducanu. Still, he just does the goal round-up now, so no sneering-opportunities there

I had a diamond patterned version which made me look like a golfer wearing Lyle & Scott. Was Lendl ever sponsored by Tacchini? Could've sworn I had one of those or maybe I'm getting my tennis player brands mixed up.

Oh those were the heady days of the sport's casual.

Think that was the one Lendl and Edberg wore, definitely Adidas.

Finally bothered to look:





Glorious.

And off as part of the 'Sunshine double' to Miami for Radders next week.

Prime has had magnificent coverage of tennis for years, both ATP and WTA, with multi court coverage like when they do the Prem.

But lost coverage to Sky from next year I think. Watch them fuck it up and show less games.

Lendl, though. Was he ever winner of the "World Championship of Tennis", I think not
I know someone who was, though.
Mister Jaaaaahn Noooocombe!

A great player for sure but winner of the “World Championship of Tennis”, I think not.
In fact I don’t even know what what the WC of Tennis is.

It was a thing, albeit for a short time only.

My post was a reference to something H&J did, years ago, when they were still funny.
Interestingly, in the 1967 Men's Final at Wimbledon "the Newk" hit Wilhelm Bungert in the mouth, and he had to be carried off.

When was that?
