US Open

After the year she had she should be in the world top 100

Well done Emma!! we are proud of you!!
And what awards should she go after at the BBC awards in December? I wouldn't be at all surprised if she was nominated for SPOTY if she did she'd be only the third female tennis stasr tob win after Ann Jones in 1969 and Virginia Wade in 1977.So it would be an exclusive club she'd be joining.

Emma Raducanu has beaten Belinda Bencic
6-3 6-4 to reach the semi finals.

WOW

First British Woman in US semis since 1983!!

Well done EMMA!!! It's actually frightening to think what she could acheive in the next few years.....

But she has done itb the hard way - from the qualifiers all the way through to the semis that takes some doing....

While not really a massive tennis fan congratulations Emma Raducanu well done. She will be close to a top 50 ranking and will become Briton's number 1 leaping Konta and Watson.
Let's hope the gutter press leave her alone to get on with her rise to the top.

Before Wimbledon, no one had heard of her now she is a grand slam semi finalist. Could she possibly go all the way and win it.?

Raducanu will face Greek 17th seed Maria Sakkari in the last four.

Sakkari saw off Karolina Pliskova 6-4 6-4.

Sakkari is probably the easier to face than the hype & pressure.

Good luck Emma!!!

Even if she is beaten she should be proud of what she has acheived this year, and is IMO, a strong candidate for SPOTY

Perhaps worth a mention that Leylah Fernandez is the other big shock story of the tournament, and plays Sabalenka in the other semi-final.

I totally agree. The press need to take a step back or two and let her develop and get on with her tennis with no private intrusions.Shee needs all the privacy to focus away from public and press.
