Jim McLean's Ghost Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 1 minute ago, Distant Doonhamer said: It absolutely makes sense. If Emma had lost tonight I'd have been disappointed. It took me days to recover from some of Andy's losses and i was smiling for days after his triumphs. I also didn't feel this like I felt a Murray win. Whether that is because she isn't Scottish or that she just hasn't suffered the way Murray did. It took so long for Andy to get over the hump and win one. And even the lesser titles he was picking up he was putting himself through it. Raducanu in her 2nd grand slam skooshed it. Never looked under pressure. There was no relief that she finally won one because tbh I had completely forgot about her after Wimbledon. No one had invested themselves in following Emma Raducanu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you don't hear it in tomorrow's final. Will listen out for it in the men's final. Felt like I was hearing it on both player's serves, and Fernandez didn't have long hair(well she usually does, but it looked short during the game) Edit - seen a few people saying it's because of the position of the microphones, and it's actually just the noise of the players landing when serving. If it happens during the men's final, then I'll go with that answer Edited September 12, 2021 by alang1993 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 As I suspected at the time, it's not even up to Raducanu whether she got treatment right away or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Overlooked a bit in all the other fuss, but Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid completed the first ever calendar slam in the men's wheelchair doubles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those, @Melanius Mullarkey included, that don't quite understand the art of diversion. You should maybe try something to divert away from you making a roaring c**t of yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens during the men's final, then I'll go with that answer I rewatched some of it there, it is definitely the planting of the forward foot after serving. Fernandez lands heavier on it, so you were hearing the sound more often with her, and the mic at the top of the court must have been placed closer as it was certainly more prominent when serving from the top of the court (as you'd see it on TV). You won't hear it tonight as all you'll hear is squeaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if it was her, but watched one during the week who got noticeably louder when behind/under pressure, clearly a deliberate effort to put the opponent off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Djokovic can't quite get his mojo working against a fired up Medvedev..... Looks like he's about to go 2 sets down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Medvedev takes the second to go two up and is playing fantastic. Living up to the hype, finally. Djokovic won the French Open final from two sets down to Tsitsipas in June. He surely can’t do it again… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
