US Open 2021

[Tombstone]

lol.

Not sure what the rolling eyes are for, there are a lot of people currently against immigrants and she has shown that immigrants can come here and put in the hard work and effort needed to be a success. Its highly commendable and one in the eye for those who are against all immigrants.

 

[Marmot]

no its not, it's irrelevant for goodness sake

well done Emma, amazing performance

 

[Tombstone]

Oh keep that rubbish out of a tennis thread.

Jesus. Sorry.. I was being 100% sincere. Bloody hell.

 

[Merlin5]

This needs Sue Barker on the mic.

What on earth is Tim Henman on about! I think he's drunk

Yeah, it's a joke!

 

[MagicBoy]

They're making a point of it being the 20th Anniversary of 9/11. Both finalists weren't even born when it happened!

 

[Stumble Bum]

It’s a more the valid point lmao.

embarrassing to be honest.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Apart from the Serena, hardly anyone has gone on to dominate for ages or even reach finals consistently. I wouldnt get too far ahead.

It must be difficult for women if they want children since it clashes with their prime playing age. I can see why so many disappear.

 

[Tombstone]

embarrassing to be honest.

My apologies for complimenting her and rubbing anti-immigrants noses in it.

 

[dave28]

I am stunned, and so will she be when she looks at her bank balance next lol

 

[omnomnom]

embarrassing to be honest.

Why? It’s a fact

 

[robfosters]

My apologies for complimenting her and rubbing anti-immigrants noses in it.

You should know by now we don’t have any problem with immigrants when they’re good at sports

I guess thats a problem for a lot of womens sports, I suppose things like ice skating or gymnastics arent too bad because those careers are often over at fairly young ages and still leave scope for children but yeah must be a real tough decision for some to make.

Yep, and already worth about £2 million even before the final I think.

 

[Semple]

She's played a great tournament.

 

[muon]

Wow. Gonna be hard to follow that.

 

[Kenai]

Amazing stuff.

I hope this inspires a whole new generation... And stop tennis being an elite sport. Snotty posh tennis clubs etc.

Out of interest, why would this stop 'elitism' in the sport?

She's been playing tennis since 5 and attending pretty exclusive grammar schools etc. Hardly a rags to riches story or anything to inspire the council estate kids.

 

[Tombstone]

Yep, and already worth about £2 million even before the final I think.

Plus all the huge number of marketing offers that will come her way now, this single tournament has probably set her up for life, not sure I could handle that concept at 18

 

[Semple]

Yep, and already worth about £2 million even before the final I think.

How much are the us open winnings? I thought I'd read earlier that she'd so far made about 250k from winnings.

 

[Tombstone]

How much are the us open winnings? I thought I'd read earlier that she'd so far made about 250k from winnings.

Is it 1.25m? Or is that just for reaching the final

 

[Psycho Ned]

$2.5 million!
