Australian Open 2025 [Women] - Grand Slam

it's looking bad for Emma right now, she's down 1-6, and 0-3 with two service breaks, what's happened? She's not been able to get into this match at all

 

[Vince Evert]

Sounds like an excuse to me. Don't they practice in the evening conditions? She never made the adjustment through 2 sets of tennis? Top players don't make excuses, they make changes.

it's an excuse, all right. At best, you would think her coach woulda taken care of arranging practice sessions for evening conditions/

Iga SWIATEK has just scored an emphatic win against Emma Raducanu, 6-1,6-0. Tell me what happened ? Because we all known Emma's a better player than this!!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga Swaitek plays a 'flawless' match against Raducanu 61 60
Emma has yet to even take 1 set off Iga in their previous matches, going on this display, it will be a 'long time coming'

Iga was just Flawless in all departments, Emma has never taken a set of Iga, on this performance it will be a long time coming if she ever does!

Right, but you know as well as I know Emma Raducanu. a one time U S Open winner, is a better tennis player than this !!!!

Far out, that was tough match-up to watch I love both these Gal's. Iga's game when she's confident and at full level, is fun to watch.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

1 set all between Navarro and Jabeur, just started the 3rd set
Emma needs to go back to her game plan of the 1st set

One time GS USO is correct, in 2021? what has she done since then? nothing, except changing coaches after nearly every tournament she lost., she has had more coaches than I have eaten baked dinners lol!, withdrawals, excuses, yes she did have surgery, still hasnt shown a glimpse of form when she won the USO in 2021, she didnt play a warm up tournament to the AO, because she didnt feel she was ready? no she wasnt ready and was blown off the court by Iga.

then she should take a break from tennis, if she's lacking commitment and other issues? I don't recall seeing her play so poorly. Not to mention the spectators who've paid good money to see what should have been a far more competitive game.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is how much Emma Raducanu is Delusional! her comments before her match with Iga Swiatek, btw she has never taken a set off Iga
"I know I can trouble her, beat her. We're considered the best of our generation for a reason.I just need to go out there and play my game.The results will speak for themselves"
Yes they did Emma you were blown off the court and only managed one game.I dont know who puts these ideas in your head, I suggest you engage your brain before opening you mouth again! This is totally embarrassing!

This is not the first time she has played poorly, some of her sponsors like Porsche have taken away their sponsorship from Emma, because of her bad results, she has taken time off the tour, coming back same old story.

Navvaro (8) d Jabeur in 3 sets, a very physical match 64 36 64
First time Emma is into the round of 16 at the AO!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Eva Lys the first woman singles lucky loser to reach the 4th round of the AO since the event moved to Melbourne Park in 1988
The dream continues for the German winning 46 63 63 over Cristian

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rybakina had lower back issues in her match against Yastremska, went off court for a MTO, not sure if she will show up for her next match, Keys or Collins if the back dosent respond in the next few days

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I found this stat from 2018 Wimbledon Girls QF match
Iga Swaitek d Emma Raducanu 60 61

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apparently Veronika Kudermetova does remember how to play tennis defeating Haddad Maia (15) 64 62

Order of Play for Australian Open, Day 8 Round 4, January 18, 2025

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I forgot to post this result from yesterday
Elina Svitolina (28) defeated No 4 seed Jasmine Paolini in 3 sets 26 64 60. Mr and Mrs Monfils had a great day each taking out the No 4 seeds in the womens and mens section of the draw.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka v Andreeva again? they must be sick and tired of meeting each other
Vekic and Pavs is a toss up for me, Vekic never gives up, Pavs when 'on' is just a pure striker of the ball and these courts suit her play
Sabalenka (1) Gauff (3) Badosa (11) should all move through

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina Svitolina said she was inspired by her husband's win ( Gael Monfils) when she was competing against Jasmine Paolini, she won in 3 sets.
