[@hertor8803]

These kind of matches show what Emma is capable of, you don't win a slam without dropping a set by accident, Covid or not. She can access a level of play above the other British women but of course the question is how often can she do that? I personally think her level in the next few years will settle somewhere in the 10-30 ranking but it will depend on her fitness, her mental strength and her coaching development all of which still have question marks, but she is still very young. Whether she will ever win another slam is another question though. Multiple slam winners are actually very thin on the ground. They are a special breed.

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

there are only 2 players in the wta top 10 who are multiple slam winners so it's not easy

[@user-yb5pj4un3u]

@@ANDY1985UK2011 , I agree with you in the aspect that it isn't easy to win majors. I also agree and see @hertor8803, point. His main point is fitness. If she's fit she can put a great fight. But also he mention something that people don't want to see. Despite, she being technically and tactically well sounded, she never will achieve that top position that some people are currently placing her. We might be wrong. However there something that says she's not a top player caliber. A good one. Of course she is.

[@user-yb5pj4un3u]

An indicator of the caliber of a player it can be seen by the amount of 1000's and 500's or 250's tournaments won. Majors are difficult of course. But the others trophies are better indicators of consistency. This is what says a player can win more or less Majors.

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

@user-yb5pj4un3u true but I'm sure other top players Britain has produced like Tim henman for example I'm sure he'd swap his 11 ATP titles for a major.

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

[@gedofgont1006]

What a great result! It's quite clear that Emma still has everything she needs to be a top ten player. After all the issues she's had to deal with, she may well be even stronger, mentally, than she was when she won the US Open. I'm looking forward to her Wimbledon appearance, this year. I just hope all her physical problems are behind her.

[@brandtsj]

I like Raducanu - she seems a good person and has always been talented. I must admit I doubted her, and didn't think she had the fire to get to the top again. I always thought she defaulted to the safe shots when under pressure, when great players like Federer knew he had the talent and committed to the winners. But this match - she proved me wrong and I'm happy about it. She can really go for it. I hope she continues to play like this, it's an entertaining style of play.

[@ricusgroenewald]

I just wish the haters of Emma Raducanu will stop already! She is such a talented player with a great demeanor and attitude. She is still the only qualifier to win a Grand slam. She has just been unfortunate with injuries.

In the history of tennis there a plenty of women/men who have won 1 major and nothing else. These people are forgotten. Those who like tennis, will want to see Emma winning or getting in finals of 1000's or 500's masters. This actually is the best indicator of the caliber of a player. As mentioned above.

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 there's a certain amount of truth in that too, not helped by many changes of coach, but she certainly wouldn't have dropped below 50 in the world if she'd stayed healthy

[@ReTracer]

@@jukkao.parviainen8669this point bears repeating again and again; it is not often we see someone with this kind of raw talent become so successful so fast. The ten matches she won to take the US Open title more than doubled the number of matches she'd previously played on the professional tour. It's not unusual for a player to drop form after their first slam but the way she did it, plus her lack of tour experience, plus her international marketability... most players adjust to the tour away from the spotlight, because they've done nothing to warrant any attention. Ups and downs, injuries and setbacks are unremarkable, expectations are low, and this is the norm of all players, except Raducanu. Instead for her, expectations are permanently high, disappointments are taken personally by the fans and anti-fans all of whom are none the wiser about what she has actually been working through. I am super impressed by this young woman.

[@jukkao.parviainen8669]

@@ReTracer Well, Naomi Osaka as more experienced couldn’t handle the pressure of being #1. I just hope that Emma will work hard and get back on the track. Pure talent can’t get you to the top10. She needs wins under her belt and a proper coaching staff for the longer term.

[@danharrow7458]

@@ReTracer Agree one hundred percent. It could be said her winning the US Open was a poisoned chalice. She has served no tennis apprenticeship, by way of the tour. In fact what I expected to happen after she played Wimbledon prior to winning the US Open was that she'd get knocked out. Then continue her tennis learning under the radar. That didn't happen and to every ones surprise, including probably her own, she won it. So as you say everything she does is magnified, wins and losses, especially the losses. All she can do is try to lay that tennis foundation that she missed before she won the US Open and of course stay fit. Sounds crazy right? But I hope she can pull it off. She is a joy to watch and the sport is richer when she's playing great tennis.
