Come on Emma

[rjfp1962]

Wow! That proves Emma wants to win, no matter what it takes....

[robt350c]

What a match!

[nickfrog]

Yes fantastic from both ends but ultimately she was the better player.

[rjfp1962]

So happy for both Emma and Katie today

Well, that is another good win for ER.

Very good win.

[Stan the Bat]

Taken first set 6-0.

[robt350c]

Nice win streak, just what the doctor ordered.

Be interesting to see if she can at least hold her own for the first set against Swiatek.

An excellent result against an in-form number 31 in the world. The next match against the world number 1 might prove too much but her game play and match fitness has gone in the right direction and so will her self confidence.

Yes, almost certainly her best result in a long time.

I'd forgotten you could do that!. Cheers!

Before the match I said that even if she loses in straight sets, providing she wins 8 games then she should be super happy.

[rjfp1962]

Think she'll be a little disappointed losing the match with her serve being broken. Getting in some useful matchplay.

I’m usually pretty negative about ER but I thought she played pretty well there, overall.

A straight sets win for Swiatek doesn’t really tell the whole story - ER should take a lot of positives from that game.


(Still don’t think she’ll ever win anything big again but hey, credit where it’s due)

Agreed - but at least she now has something to build on .

Understandable given how little tennis she actually plays!
