Wimbledon 2022

Why does she always do this low bendy knee shot. It's irritating.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Her serve isn't the greatest, and it's area she can really improve, but she's struggled far more than normal today.

 

[Merlin5]

Emma's going out.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

She's done.

This is common in women's tennis. Women swing entirely differently to men, and generate more of their power from their hips. When the ball is bouncing lower, or skimming off the surface as it does in grass, then they need to lower. With Raducanu though vs others, it more likely her footwork just isn't that good.

Looks like Garcia has this. Emma did beat her 6-1 3-6 6-1 just a few months ago. Too bad she couldn't rekindle some of that form. Garcia is on form though and beat Bianca Andreescu recently.

One hit wonder.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Disappointing to not make it further but not surprising given her injuries and lack of practice.

Edit: Looking forward to the hate coming her way

I'm wondering if her low bendy knee shot is a disadvantage making her hit the net too often.

 

[Robbo]

It's a shame and still early days but she really doesn't seem that great a player. Hope I'm wrong.

One hit wonder.

It's looking that way

I was rather surprised to hear her saying that she is waiting for freshers week.

Seems like it's not going to be her priority which I found a bit disappointing.

Should she not take a good 3 months off and recover properly rather than keep hitting the same occurring issue.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Murray up next against Isner. His serve and return will be the most important aspect of this game, fitness won't really come in to it.

Nah, she might as well quit tbh. She'll never win another tournament in her life so what's the point in continuing?

Joking aside, if she got through her two games unscathed then a week or two off before hitting America to grind the hard court season would be her best bet.

People are being very harsh on someone who has achieved far more then Murray did at her age.

It’s looking more and more that way. Maybe she’ll have some success in a few years.

I think it's just the UK mentality tbh, far easier for people to relate to losers than winners.

Have a look at the threads on here before Murray started winning years ago, comment after comment about how he was a loser that would never amount to anything

Edit: Isners 37? Thought he was still in his 20s.

LOL

So when we praise winners how does that work with our loser nation?

Back to reality, losing your serve against Isner certainly makes life harder.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

Geez Isner is a big unit. Does he even have a neck.

Nah, he's been around for donkeys years. That match against Mahut must have been at least a decade ago?

I really don't know what happened that let her win every match and the final of the US Open, maybe just some freak luck and the stars all aligned. But I don't see her tennis as anything other than average.
