Well that’s British sports personality of the year sorted

 

[wingy]

A bit more drama with the injury and the Canadian behaving like Neil Warnock

She was already going down along with the crowd.

 

[Skybluefaz]

9 wins no sets dropped. Not bad.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Wow… might be biased cos she is British…but that’s the best game af women’s tennis I have watched. Great entertainment and both players deserve great credit

Amazing. Even better as I was getting tired of seeing Fernandez's family gobbing off like the Boro bench.

Great to see so many Brits come through qualifying. Especially Raducanu

idiot savant

Red card the lot.
Raducanu shut them up in best way possible

I don't watch tennis so my opinion is worthless but she looked really good.

Although I spent most of the match wondering how they could both hit the ball so hard.

 

[chiefdave]

Looked like she could easily go up a gear or two if needed. Absolutely mad to think she's only 18 and gone through the whole tournament, including qualifying, without dropping a set.

She only played her first WTA tournament a few months ago!

I watch and play a lot and believe me she is outstanding

Does she hit the ball hard?

Wow, what a match. Absolutely amazing, 18 years old, not dropped a set through qualifying and the tournament to win. First man or woman qualifier to make a majors final, now gone and won it. No immortalised in history and only going to get better.

She will inspire a new generation of players.

Absolutely gutted that our kickerball chokers won't be getting it.

*Correction - She will 'inspire' yet another generation of privileged middle class kids to at least give it a go.

What was Fernandez moaning about

 

[Deleted member 9744]

She certainly does mate

Haha - made me want her to win even more (not that that was possible) when Fernandez started whingeing

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fucking knew it

 

[oscillatewildly]

What was Fernandez moaning about

'She's not British'?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

What was Fernandez moaning about

It was a joke - didn't do herself any favours.

 

[rob9872]

Fair play, one of our own

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It was a joke - didn't do herself any favours.

But what was she moaning about. It’s still bleeding ffs

 

[Johnnythespider]

As big John Wayne would say she's got true grit, astonishing achievement, I've never voted on spoty but i will this year

 

[lifeskyblue]

Absolutely…thought it a great match but at that moment wanted Fernandez and her family to have their noses rubbed in the dirt.

Sounds English enough to me.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

So articulate and confident at a young age. She’s got it all.

 

[chiefdave]

You'd assume that as with pretty much every other sport these days if there's bleeding you have to stop and sort out the issue so not even a case of should could have played on if she wanted to.

 

[Liquid Gold]

2 and a half million dollars!!!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I meant it was a joke that she was moaning. If it was a tactical moan - disgraceful. If it was a genuine moan, that she thought Emma should just carry on at that point - shame on her again!

 

[chiefdave]

They grow up so fast! Think I got pissed in the park after my A-Levels.

Yep Leylah was going to turn it round if not for that break, like she had against the serve in all the games.

 

[covcity4life]

Garbage, his parents were both English. Lots of kids born overseas on military bases and completely different scenario as you're well aware. I only said best fit of three already. Butcher had Singapore or England. She had Canada, Romania or China.

Rad has no English heritage and wasn't born in England. If she can choose to be English then it's pointless having nations at all in sport.

No way. She is as English as you and I. She came here at 2 years old ffs. Listen to her speak! She's english! Had our education system. Probably doesn't even have a memory of living in Canada. Rethink this one Rob

And well fucking done Emma. Made the country proud!

 

[Paul Anthony]

I have to confess I'm not much into tennis, but what an amazing story for this young lady. She's got the world at her feet.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Fucking brilliant.

I drank a bottle of red wine tonight for the first time ever. Think it was in the realisation that I'm older than the age of both the finalists put together.

But what an inspiration Raducanu will be for young girls. Amazing, amazing.
