Boulter... Wimbledon 2nd round at best.

And yet she's done better than that last year and the year before.

Yep fair comments. Only wishing ER well (and Boulter of course). UK for the win!

Some loyal fans here good to see.

Boulter played some good tennis today - Pliskova is no mug.

Congratulations to Katie Boulter on defending her Nottingham Open Title

Emma is definetely looking stronger too which can only be positive A good tournament for her considering what she's coming back from injury wise post operations...

[swisstoni]

Congratulations to Boulter. Looking good for the grass season.
Raducanu made it very tight match which is an excellent sign against a top 30 player in form.

She's been given a wildcard for Wimbledon

Thinking she'll need results in order to get back here in 2025!

She will always get a wildcard as long as she wants one.

Good. Only British woman playing, to have won the US Open

FTFY.

I am surprised she hasn't entered any competition this week to keep improving her match sharpness and try and fix the awful shot selection she showed in that 3rd Set against KB.

KB went out first round this week, so doesn’t always seem to work out, seemingly.

Emma is in pretty good company as a British singles grand slam winner.

Ann Jones - French Open 1961, 1966 - Wimbledon 1969

Sue Barker - French Open 1976

Virginia Wade - Wimbledon 1977

Emma Radacanu - US Open - 2021

[swisstoni]

Wade won 3 Grand Slam titles, Wikipedia tells me.

Yep, US 1968, Aus 1972, Wimb 1977 as Ladies Singles Champion and also 4 other Grand Slam titles in Ladies Doubles; Aus, French and US in 1973 and US again in 1975.

They got bugger all to show for it all in those days.
Massive achievement when you look back on it.

Ann Jones won eight grand slams in all over singles, mixed and ladies doubles - incredible.

Emma takes on Sloane Stephens today at Eastbourne. There is one match before her's starting at 11am, with Emma and Sloane following that..

[g4ry13]

The match has started and currently 2-2 and deuce.

[rjfp1962]

Stephens playing well. Going to be a tough day in the office for Emma. She'll compete though!

[g4ry13]

Stephens seems to be bullying her around the court.

I put a bit of money on the underdog so expect a Raducanu win knowing my luck

[g4ry13]

Neither player having a convincing service game.

edit: 4 games in a row where neither player has held serve
