Raducanu

[bfcpete]

Really struggling in her match due to hand blisters which mean she cannot play her forehand or serve with any power

 

[Lytham_fy8]

She's hanging in there but it's virtually impossible.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Took the second set! That's some fight, god knows how her hands will hold up now.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

5-2 down in the final set.

With Murray already gone and Heather Watson it’s not proving to be a good day for the Brits.

Still I suppose they all lasted longer than Novacc’s.

 

[bfcpete]

Evans won didn't he?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Evans won didn't he?

I don’t know hence I didn’t mention him.

Edit
Just checked yes Evans won with a walkover due to his opponent having a wrist injury.

 

[bfcpete]

Lost. Did well to last that long

 

[Insider]

Tried her best. Didn't see the early part of the match so not sure what happened with her blister injury?

 

[kuriousoranj]

Apparently she decided to practice yesterday on her rest day. Can't have helped with the blister?

Learning curve??

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Come back sacked coach.
All is forgiven.

 

[Mark_GT]

This new coach is proving a bit of a Chris Silverwood. She's not having an easy time of it on court these days, hope things improve.

Gets lucky and wins a tournament and then goes on to prove she’s just another flash in the pan

 

[tigger]

What a stupid message, you do not win a Grand Slam tennis tournament by being lucky

Didn't watch it, but it sounds like she narrowly lost over three closely contested sets - with an injury - having beaten a previous Grand Slam winner in the first round.

 

[TheRealKingKenny]

Watched the last set, she deserves a lot of credit for the way she played with an injury.

 

[voyeur]

Maybe she should have stuck with the coach she dumped after winning the US Open? Karma?

In covid times you can.

 

[tigger]

Please explain….? You can have luck in a Grand Slam, for example getting a bye or your opponent getting injured mid match, but you certainly can’t go through a 7 round tournament being lucky

without dropping a set!

 

[tigger]

That was pure luck though

Took the second set! That's some fight, god knows how her hands will hold up now.

Stop worrying about her hands for gods sake, it’s getting me down
