[@brucecarey1780]

Emma won this match easily still not playing her best tennis. At times she was brilliant but there is still room for improvement. She just has to improve that first serve.! That can be a huge advantage for her going forward. Also her shot selections at times left a lot to be improved upon. Saying all that she is playing high class tennis at times.! The best i have ever seen from her.! If she gets past Noskova i can see eye brows raising ahead. 😅 She could win the whole thing with a bit of further improvement and a healthy dose of luck?

[@hertor8803]

100% agree. Noskova is tough but those are the kind of matches Raducanu needs to start winning consistently to prove at least to herself that she is Top 30 material. She also needs to string 3 or 4 wins together rather than 2 and out. What we really don't want to see in the next match is a lacklustre performance and a medical timeout after the first set. She needs to break that cycle.

The mobility and agility of Emma Raducanu keep enhancing in each passing step. Another foolproof performance from the professional British tennis player. Even though she hesitated in some serve games, she kept the rallies under the composure with her resilient strikes, contending against such an experienced player was really the most crucial step for Emma. A scintillating clash and extraordinary victory from Raducanu!

*She hasn't played enough clay court matches to make that determination.*

[@benrusher581]

@trommmelbiel, I think you might be right. She seems to move well on clay for someone with so little experience and her tenacity and good use of the the courts dimensions and angles should serve her well. Clay is the most demanding fitness wise and that's a work in progress for sure. Plus clay is a bit of a leveler when it comes to serving and that'll help because I don't think that's ever going to be her strongest suit.

[@2smoulder]

Doubtful. She's now in her early 30s. She might do better as this season goes on but she'll never win another slam.

[@SusanLee-m5k]

Not the same Kerber in her younger days But understandable. It’s a long time away from competition. She is in a different chapter of her life and a blessing to be in her shoes. There are other things to think about besides traveling nonstop for competitions. It’s about balance between work and family, staying healthy physically and mentally. Her best She is giving one last chance to the sport she loves so much. Win or lose, I admire her dedication and hard work, go Kerber! Seems like Emma is slowly getting her groove back, congrats.

[@larontezmoore3313]

That window is slowly closing. Kerber hasn't been the same since losing that US open match against Fernandez. Fernandez beat the confidence out of Kerber by that third set Kerber was taped out. I think the embarrassment of an unknown teenager at the time taking her to the limit and out playing her on one of the biggest stages in tennis really messed up her mental.

[@Leychel72]

These courts are a lot slower than the ones they were playing on in France last week; seems that way anyway. Miss the energy and the crowd noise of the BJK cup matches. Think those atmospheres bring the best out of the players as well.

[@dr.strange6775]

Yes slow courts like these really suck, not only do they make the tennis look awful like in slo-mo but they also increase injuries. Badosa is the first one to sustain a thigh injury today and had to retire from her match, there will be more as the week goes on. I want Emma to do well but I don't want her to get injured on this stupid slow court. Porsche really screwed up this year, this was always one of the faster courts. This slow court and these heavy XD balls they're using will ensure Swiatek wins again, it's her favorite condition.

[@jgunner94]

I think cause the cameras are higher up you can see more of the ball travelling which makes it seem slower. This is supposed to be one of the quicker clay courts.

[@BenjWarrant]

I hated that crowd noise between points; it's really distracting. Also, did you have the sound down yesterday? The Germans were making a hell of a noise trying to gee up their girl!

@@zoyavijay I've been a fan of Emma since Wimbledon 2021, but as of today you can't call her the greatest woman player. I don't think you could have called her that the day after she won the USO, because while that feat was unparalleled, and clearly the work of a mighty tennis player, she had not at that time been measured against Barty, Sabalenka, or anyone else in the top 10. Plus, her very next match was a dismal defeat at the hands of a very lowly player. Enthusiasm is great but hyperbole is to be avoided.

As others have said, these highlights cannot possibly represent what happened in the match. You would think that Kerber had won, given the amount of time given to her winning shots. Emma won easily and the video should have featured her winning play the majority of the time. Well done Emma!

[@garethbramley1]

Thanks for not bothering to show many of Raducanu's winning points! She's the one who will hopefully pulling in the crowds from now on - not Kerber!!

[@pbworld7858]

Didn't see the match, but these highlights show at least two points where the court has opened up and yet Emma just hits the ball towards Angelique. She has to stop doing that.

[@fsxmantra]

maybe she was in an off position while making those shots... not that she played it out of choice.

[@dr.strange6775]

Agree. She has a habit of doing that which drives me crazy to watch as a fan. I think that's the problem with spending so much time practicing and not enough playing matches. In practice she probably hits back to her practice partner all the time to avoid having to pick up balls.

[@simonharwood8488]

Don't forget that Kerber is a lefty so you have to adjust tactics to a degree. I sense what's happened is that Emma played shots to Kerber's backhand as, percentage wise, it's the shot to go for, but Kerber kind of foresees it. Anyway, not too alarming really.

[@orbitalwarrior]

This is solid from Emma, I really hope she can focus on her game and results and prove all the haters wrong. She's a good player, and it seems now that she's once again patient, constructing the points and willing to play the rally. If she can have a few wins under her belt on clay, she will have confidence for the grass.

[@danharrow7458]

Emma won but this was no great match as she said herself. I think she looked tired, her fitness is not up to speed. There's a long way to go with her fitness. I don't expect her to win her next match . But I do hope she does but not at the expense of injury. Still don't understand the absence of a permanent fitness coach. Although I did hear she had that idea in mind a few weeks ago in an interview.

[@dr.strange6775]

Agree with everything you said. This was nowhere near the level she showed at BJKC last weekend. But to be fair this slow surface doesn't allow anyone's game to look good. Coco's game looked downright painful. Emma so needs a traveling physio who knows her body well to help her properly recover after every match.

[@BenjWarrant]

She's been working with a fitness coach for weeks. And she still had Will the Mechanic with her in France. She's tired because, as she pointed out in the post match on-court interview, you can't train into the fitness levels needed for tennis, you have to play matches. After today , she'll have played four matches in a week - one of the reasons Noskova might be favourite today - but four matches in a week will really help for her fitness in her next game. Which I think will be against Iga at the weekend, which would be 5 matches in a week!

[@deusexmachina9776]

true shocking comments are acting like she is back, the level from Kerber was so weak, like Ostapenko against Noskova.

Kerber is terrible. She's lucky she peaked in such a weak time period. At no other point could a weaponless player with no serve win a slam let alone three. The same pretty much goes for Wozniacki as well. They are lucky Swiatek was a girl back then or they all would be slamless.
