Raducanu!!!

I watched the second set and was very impressed. She’s got plenty of power for a girl of her size and build, but makes everything look effortless. Her shot selection was excellent and she hit the ball into the corners and on the lines regularly. Her opponent just didn’t know what to do with her.

She’s probably got the world number 1 in the next round, so I don’t expect her to go any further but the experience will do her the world of good. If she can stay injury free, I think we’ve got a potential grand slam winner and top 5 player.

Barty the No1 seed only got dumped out last night in 3 sets so radacanu now has a great chance to progress to the quarterfinals
Barty won her set 6-1 so this Shelby Rogers is clearly vulnerable and expect radacanu to expose that because she is very intelligent and thoroughly studies each opponent prior to playing them.

She’s a joy to watch

That’s a real upset, but Rogers is no pushover. It will still be very tough for Raducanu but she’s capable of pulling off an upset if she gets a good start.
 
Her family moved to Greater London when she was two years old. She started playing tennis at the age of five. She was a pupil at Newstead Wood School, a grammar school in the London Borough of Bromley.

Yes, how very Canadian!!
 
Don’t know why anyone would try to claim she’s not British.

she’s been here almost all her life and represents us. That’s all that matters really.

So what, her parents aren’t, but what’s the cut off point? - A good few of the English football team wouldn’t be considered English by some people because their grandparents weren’t born here, which is also the case for myself, but I consider myself English.

Sterling wasn’t born here, but anyone wanna say he isn’t English? He quite clearly represents England with passion.

They’re just people that grew up here and consider themselves as from here. That’s all that matters, not that it should even be a talking point.

now if we’re talking someone like Greg Rusedski who represented Canada until he was about 24 and grew up there, then fair point. Even then, who cares that much really?
 
Look at you all falling over yourselves to cry racist.
Where does being Canadian make it racism.
Really quite pathetic.
She is Canadian.
She is British.
Not the first and not the last to be of dual citizenship.
Get a grip.

You see you missed the 'she is British' bit off your original response, obviously was just a mistake and you pushed 'post reply' too quickly and weren't trying to be deliberately provocative.

Joshua, Raducanu, Sterling, Farah, Hamilton, all get the absolute ire of fans in the last 5 years, despite being superb. Yet Tyson Fury, Jack Grealish etc. get unadulterated support wonder why? The only white guys that get continual and unfair grief seem to be the ones like Lineker and Southgate who stand up for black rights 🤷‍♂️ tell me I'm wrong.

What has any of that to do with the fact that Raducanu is both Canadian and British and so what?
You're the one stirring things up and trying to bring racism into a thread that doesn't have it.... until you introduced it.
