It's a joke

Those kids are 12? 

 

Wtf?

She's a permanent Brit, now, right?

Respect to Henman for rightly deflecting the attention. Think he thought it was strange, too.

When Fernández was complaining about the stoppage for blood I've never wanted a tennis player to win more than that and shut her up 🤣

As much as Lennox Lewis and Kevin Pietersen

Our best British Canadian tennis player since Greg Rudeski

Incredible, so pleased for her. 

[kingfox]

18 years old and she has better mental strength than the majority of the WTA tour, what a girl

Vomit. It'd be a travesty if she gives the little England ****wit it.

First thing out of Raducanu's mouth...congratulations to her opponent. 

 

The Canadian would do well to listen and learn some sportsmanship. 

[HighPeakFox]

Some of you are far more graceless than Fernandez will ever be.

The first thing out of Fernandez's mouth was congratulations to her opponent. Get a ****ing life. She's 19 playing a major final, and then talking, in front of 23,000 people. She's a lot ****ing classier than you are.

She does come across as a bit of a brat to be fair.

Tbf she moved to the UK at 2.

 

That's pretty British.

Does she?

Because it just feels a lot like a bunch of middle aged men being uncomfortable with a successful young woman who they can't wrap a union flag round.

Yeah, she does.

 

The state of her mother every time she knew she was on the big screen probably explains a lot though.

[Hales]

Well done Emma! Really enjoyed that 👏👏👏

She is from Bromley , come very much through the LTA System… anyone who tries to take her nationality away should be shipped out themselves

@tom27111 vs @Mark_w is the new Kingfox vs @Facecloth & @Manwell Pablo

[HighPeakFox]

Trial by TV, eh? Congratulations, your mind is owned.

So let me get this straight, she’s gone from budding tennis player sitting her A levels to millionaire championship winner in three weeks??? Fantsastic. It’s wonderful to watch someone’s life change in such a quick way. Hope she continues to be successful for many more years.
