Some people suggest it was a asthma attack? though when the trainer and doctor came to her chair she was hypenventilating in her chair,could be a panic attack

Get well Emma,getting to the 4th rd of a GS good result as a WC

Managing the "willies" is always tough on a youngster..ask Novak. I think Sampras's quote was the BEST..playing tennis , " you cannot pass the ball"..

Manage them; just don't be so demonstrative showing the world & opponent how much distress you're feeling! I didn't like it; what can I say?

Well another mental effect on a youngster. Could say the Osaka effect. Worst is still to come for Emma when she's facing the English tabloid press - which is the most horrible in the world. I''m proud of these tennis players that open up about this so we get a more balanced form from the press - like only letting journalists in that KNOW something about tennis - proved by a test. Red card to those who can't follow the rules - THAT includes the paper too - IMHO.

Emma is not facing the English press at all...there has been a statement released why she had to retire from her match.
"due to breathing problems' that was announced about 5 hours ago.Emma did not go to a press conference after her match

OK - but it's a problem with the way the press is behaving - so what are you comments to the rest?
