[@paulduffy8416]

Fantastic game and a well deserved victory. Emma's interview asking people to "keep calm and be patient" while she finds her feet at the top level was so mature and absolutely spot on. The journalists especially need to take note, in honesty some of their reporting of her success (and perceived failure at Indian Wells) has been embarrassing and amateurish!! She knows what she's doing, leave her alone to do it and to keep making us all proud.

[@tonyroberts5068]

Solid win against a determined player. Good experience for Emma who needs games like this to learn the bread and butter element of the WTA tour. Bogdan raised her game in the 2nd set and Raducanu had to fight hard to win, but it was a good sign that she still came out on top. Tougher task in the QFs but her learning process will continue.

[@NoOne-le2jv]

Exactly. At the US Open she was learning new things to do in matches and adopting them in the same match.

I love the WTA and I've spent years screaming at the TV when players let a short ball bounce. When Raducanu forces a short ball she sprints in and takes the ball out of the air for a certain winner. This makes me happy as an arm chair coach!

[@gregbarratt7161]

Definitely saw some major improvements from Raducanu after Tuesday's game against Hercog. I think she's starting to get the hang of this sort of court. Tense moments in the second set, but all in all, a much better performance today. That being said, Kostyuk is going to be an extremely tricky opponent in the QF. I definitely think that one is gonna be a three-setter, and I think it could go either way.

[@yahyayahya9999]

Just like in the USO, she only needs this one win after the last, then she would keep winning and be unstoppable as her confidence built up along the way. I am quite sure she will win this tournament.

[@grrbah]

Agreed. Emma has so little experience on the tour and, after Indian Wells, the pressure to win her next match must have been intense so it was a great achievement to get over the line against Hercog. Hopefully she will gain confidence from her wins and learn from her losses and I would not be surprised if she wins many more grand slams.

[@gregbarratt7161]

@@yahyayahya9999 I would love Raducanu to win it, although I think Kontaveit has a genuine shot, unless fatigue from playing in Moscow last week comes into play.

[@dphotos007]

I see her being number one very soon. She has so many raw skills and is well rounded with her forehand and backhand. She is a joy to watch. For me I like watching women’s tennis over men’s tennis. There are more rallies in match play.

[@Matthew075]

So much better than the first match. I think the pressure was hindering her game in the first match but she was able to overcome it.

[@gregbarratt7161]

And that first round win certainly gave her such a huge confidence boost. Definitely starting to get the hang of these slower courts. Kostyuk will be a huge test for her though, but I think Emma will pull through.

[@Matthew075]

@@gregbarratt7161 She is so mentally tough and able to get used to changes so well, makes me wonder if she even needs a coach. Perhaps a mentor or someone to give her advice occasionally.. but full time coach? Who knows if it's even necessary.

Much better match from Emma where she took her time & played smarter.

[@trudyholmm7551]

Emma return of serve is her best weapon . The amount of pressure she put on her opponents is incredible . I dont see many girls who likes to focus on their return . Serena is obviously the best returner of all time mainly because of her strength but emma used speed and timing not the same .

[@svetoslavtodorov2427]

Azarenka is fab returner too. If she wasn't competing in the Serena era she were going to bag far more slams.

Raducanu needs to practice her drop shots & mix those with her powerful ground strokes. She could be more versatile and unpredictable this way.

[@ghostdog4330]

Yeah I agree and I think its one of the reasons why she lost her first round match at Indian Wells particuarly given how slow the balls were.

[@coacherful]

Another learning process and important development for Emma.. Her game is steadily coming back... She navigated her way through this match and succesfully secure the victory.. Her serves was terrific all day ...FH cross and down the line looks very aggressive and dominating.. BH cross and down the line was penetrating beautifully, ( big factor in her game...) With the exception of the INSIDE OUT BH DOWN THE LINE that caused her few critical points.. I think her preparation phaze and the stance needs some adjustment, plus she was hitting the ball with massive power and at the same time aiming too close to the line, was not the right combination...One important stroke is missing in her game and that is the drop shot, to use when the opponent is out of position, out balance or notably slow footed.. Otherwise, overall performance improved tremendously..Her positive outlook looks very positive and improving...She was bouncing up and down during the foreperiod stage ( a usual ritual moment trying to ease up the pressure & tension ) She needs to play more 250 pts tourn. few more times before testing the water in 500 pts to develop a more mature level game.. Progressively, she's navigating smoothly through the transition process..EMMA'S INCREDIBLE TALENT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE BUT, THAT WILL DEFEND ON WHO CAN BEST UTILIZE THAT GREAT POSSESION..GOOD COACHING IS PARAMOUNT IMPORTANT AT THIS STAGE OF HER DEVELOPMENT TO STAY AFLOAT AND COMPETITIVE... Emma is willing to work diligently to achieve her quest for tennis paramountcy... must utilize the self knowledge and self realization to play consistent tennis to win a higher levels ofcompetition. Her ability to win is directly connected to her adequate mental and tactical habits...EMMA we are always on your side no matter what.. Work very hard, relax and in two years, you will be rank no. 1 in the world and domination will begin.. Congratulations Emma on winning your match today!!! WE CARE!!

[@divinitymode9364]

Other than Alcaraz, the best mover in tennis right now. That natural grace and strength you just can’t teach. I’m not expecting that much from Raducanu this year. Just too much going on in her head with all the sudden fame and craziness. But next year? Watch out WTA.

Not having the line call technology marred it slightly. I wouldn't say Emma was impressive, but she's starting to show some form. However, she needs to improve a lot more if she is to square off against Halep or the (so far) very impressive Cristian.

I like to see Emma look to move forward more like on every shot hit that way she's already watching a move that it's going to be a drop shot from the opponent. And instead of always hitting the drop shot in front, maybe try a short angle reply? That's why it's important to always be alert and to be looking to move forward and to play the midcourt. And I love the change in ball direction.
