She won the us open, unfortunately she had an injury at wimbledon after a stunning performance.
Brilliant performance all the way through really dominant. She has simply been fantastic at both majors this year.

Watched about the second half of the match, which, by the way, was the Women's US Open Final (not Wimbledon! :h:

)
It was really interesting to watch; tennis is one of those sports I actually will watch and enjoy. The stadium was huge and incredible, too.
Emma definitely deserved to win. Plus, that ace at the end was a really great way to end the match.

Is this necessary right now. Emma looked very proud & joyful, i think celebrating her achievement is worth focusing on today. Her parents weren’t even at the open.

Has their been any serious suggestions of him being an abusive father. I didn’t hear this at either the US open or Wimbledon.

No, she had 'breathing difficulties' during a match at Wimbledon and later said 'the whole experience caught up with her'.

when she phoned him up he said better than I thought so maybe you are right. In a way to be good at tennis you have to have started at maybe 6/7 so the parents usually have an input.

I love her, wish I carried on my tennis lessons when I was younger lol, made the sport look fun. cant wait to see her again, I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole match. leylah Fernandez also did well, she looked very disappointed though bless.

Yes sounds like she had a panic attack at Wimbledon. I thought it was disgusting reading some peoples responses to that on social media and certain media "personalities". but she obviously got help to overcome what happened.

I think she is amazing!

That is the greatest surprise since Boris Becker won Wimbledon in 1985 at the age of 17. That is an awesome performance, really! we just shouldn't forget the 19 year old Leylah Fernandez, she reached a Grand Slam final in that age and this is brilliant too.

Exactly this.

That she was at the age of 18 to did it? and played in three qualifications rounds to win sensationally the US Open at the end? that is a long road to victory!
