Don’t mix politics with Emma, don’t confuse “immigrants” or “migrants” with her. She posted the big UK flag behind her on the stage after her victory, on Instagram, it shows her love for her country. Loved Sweet Caroline… it is her song

[@marklouieadame]

They dont really understand the meaning and difference between legal vs illegal migrants lol...

[@paulcoffield2102]

@@marklouieadame Yeah, I see lots of people conflating illegal and legal immigration. Raducanu's parents applied for British entry through the correct legal channels when in Canada and had to wait for their application to be approved. They didn't set sail and arrive on a 50-strong dinghy pleading poverty with an iPhone escaping "war-torn" France.

[@marklouieadame]

@@paulcoffield2102 thats why its so funny alot of people forgit whata visa, greencard holder, permanent residence as if the parebts can work with their profession if they enter illegally. Lol... again seems like they are not educated on immigration policy and doesnt know whats legal and illegal.

I was watching BBC Sunday politics morning show and there were 5 old farts on the screen talking about some other politician who was using her name for their reasons and I couldn't facepalm more. Why am I hearing her name on this po faced serious show? We don't have to do it these people are crazy and will do it for themselves. I think she should stay in NY!

[@justjohn7529]

I watched a few of Emma's games and her ability to switch directions on her returns so easily was a key part of her game.

[@lucyhidayat9063]

Her parents werent refugees...why conflating this border issue to legally acquired residency???!

[@kelletman]

Refugees or economic migrants Emma Raducanu is neither, her parents came to the UK legally and she embraced the British culture so in return Emma Raducanu was embraced, popularity is not just about winning its being liked. Emma Raducanu is loved.

[@sedekiman]

RIGHT! She came legally! And even though not born in Britain obviously is British. After all she has been part of the culture for 16 years.! Britain is a small country and has to sort out the illegal immigrant problem. The same goes for all Western countries. There are so many corrupt governments that are the cause of population migration-looking for a better life.

[@kelletman]

@@sedekiman Politicians are looking for voters, to keep their corrupt asses in power, does not matter to them whether the voter comes from the Middle of Africa or entering the US from South America, it's the X on the ballot paper the politicians want, while millions of their fellow countrymen fall by the wayside to feed their hunger for power/ votes, changing the demographics of society and instilling racial tension is a key element within political parties, it helps them harvest the block vote, people from the UK have emigrated to other parts of the world and been welcomed because we entered the the country the right way, got a trade or skill that allowed us to move and vise versa people have come to the UK in the right manner (legally) following the correct protocol, the UK cannot feed the world, funding that allowed talent like Emma to flourish would be eaten up, why should those migrants that entered the UK legally be tared with the same brush of illegal immigrants. it makes no fucki-in sense and will only lead to racial tension, what Emma achieved was done the correct way, the county loved her for that.

Allow me to correct you Mr. Molloy. The Home Secretary was talking bout ILLEGAL immigrants. Emma and her family arrived perfectly legally, I believe as a result of her father's job. So please stop trying to politicise Emma's achievement. It does you no favours.

[@JamesMc2051]

Awesome performance. I've been watching tennis for 30 odd years and can't remember someone winning so young, so convincingly, and from such a low rank. Hingis and Capriati were younger but they came up the rankings further before winning (as far as I remember). The biggest thing for her and her team to contest now will be the attention and expectation. Good luck to her. If she never plays another set (and I hope she wins many more GSs) then they'll never be able to take away the style with which she won this.

@@nultyjack8219 The reference was regarding the UK problem with illegal migration, the comparison was made with the Raducanu's coming from Canada legally, both financial professionals, and those landing illegally in rubber dingies along the UK's south coast, the vast majority arriving from muslim countries, who prefer their women covered from head to toe, and would never allow their daughters to play tennis, tired of Southern Irish bias against the UK. Oddly we don't see these migrants heading for Southern Ireland, I wonder why.

I'm sure for different reasons but rather like Naomi Osaka, Roy Keane has said that after a victory he would mainly feel relief rather than happiness and also very self critical if he felt he hadn't performed up to standard. And that's by and large without the delights of social media during his playing career (which he'd have ignored no doubt).
