That Open win really was the biggest fluke of all time wasn’t it. Good for her. |  |

Well not really.
Plenty of professionals would struggle against her and do.
I'd have thought the way she was treated following that win was way OTT and the pressure has probably got inside her head. |
Way too many people rushed in to make a quick buck out of her, I just wish she’d had a better more stringent management team around her, there was way too much Hollywooding going on. |  | | |

She is 19
Won the US Open emphatically
Success at that level brings enormous pressure which no-one on here has faced - then think about point one
She is suddenly a national hero
She arrived at Wimbledon with an injury saying she was just going to enjoy being there
She has maybe 15 years as an increasingly hard professional ahead of her but yeah, you’ve written her off as a fluke. What fantastic insight! |  | | |

I would guess there's a bit of tongue-in-cheek trolling going on there.

No they don't.
Show me one other player who has won a tournament without dropping a set, beating high seeds along the way by fluke. [Post edited 29 Jun 2022 18:57]

Bah, at 19 she's got plenty of time to grow. |  |

I thought she’d won Wimbledon the other day when I turned on and they were interviewing her on court? |  | | |

People who are saying things like she’s young give her time she’s only 19; you do know you’re agreeing with me right? | |

Sometimes the stars allign for you where everything goes well. Sometimes that can give a false impression of your true ability. Im not being critical but perhaps that's what happened. Equally, the true sign of ability is to keep reaching the top consistently like a nadal or a williams.
Think she's good but not great but as i say she's better than i am so i have no right to be critical. What i would say is to get an mbe was perhaps too much, and should be reserved for those that have achieved something successfully consistently |
Ajaz Patel got a ten-fer in an innings for NZ against India in December last year, the third player in the whole history of Test Cricket to achieve the feat.
He's bowled 2 overs for NZ since then in this last series which went for 22.
Sometimes everything just clicks and for a brief period you are the best on the planet at that moment. |  |

Shouldn't forget too that 3 of the top 5 last year got beat by her opponent not herself and in the final itself when the opponent looked to have had momentum. There was a sudden injury break in play....
It was a great moment to be crowned champion at such a young age and what a way of doing it... but her game compared to others is just miles off. Watching her now you do wonder how on earth she won that last year. |  |

About 23 women have won only one Grand slam title in the open era, 11 since 2010, so errr…no, not unusual, getting more common, not a fluke, and not the biggest fluke of all time.
Hope that helps. |  | | |

If you mean me then I’m not putting her down. I am just saying it was a fluke and looks more and more like it all the time. |
She would probably say the same about you leaving school with qualifications |  |

"When ze seagulls follow ze trawler".....
It was a joy to watch Emma win the US Open. I think it brought some joy into peoples lives during the pandemic..
You'd have to say, that she's been absolutely bludgeoned by the media, and all the hangers on. As a result of that unexpected success.
Probably needs a re-boot. Some time away from the circus, if that's possible.. Heal up physically and mentally. Get some decent advisors around her.. |  | | |

Give her a good kicking when she's down, it's the English way after all. |  |

Quite probably- lots of people only win one major just like a few football clubs have only won one cup.
In here defence i think it took Serena Williams three years to win her second major - and Maria Sharipova faced similar distractions and occasionally won another |  |

Maybe because she wasn't just back from injury last year. |  |

Her dad has made matters worse, he is far too involved, look at Chris Eubank Jnr once he told Snr he needed to go it alone, he flourished, had no trainer and lost to Billy Joe and Groves, since introducing Roy Jones he has looked the boxer we all thought he could be. She needs to cut the family cord and find her own path, ideally with a coach like Lendl. |  |

I thought she played exceptionally well to win the US open. Clearly she is a very good player. She is though also very young and will still be maturing physically.
As anyone who has coached young sports men or women will know they go through growing spurts. In my case I coached a boys football team. Good players who were thirteen or fourteen year old would hit a growth spurt and suddenly lose the ability to control a ball. Some of them struggled to understand what was happening but a few months later they would be back in the groove.
Her win was not a fluke and fluctuations in her form are understandable. |  | | |

What is wrong with people, seriously?
She is what 18? 19? And being vilified because she is not ready to win a second Grand Slam title in her teens?
She either goes on to be one of the greats and wins loads of trophies, which would be lovely, wins a few tournaments, in which case her current record of winning one out of a few is about right or she never wins anything else in her career, in which case she's still achieved more than most pro tennis players ever will do.
A dose of reality. Wimbledon winning the FA Cup was a right fairytale. Did those players deserve to be ripped to bits when they failed to reach the next few finals? WTF?
The irony of the same people who are attacking her because they presumably want to revel in her success, whilst no doubt contributing to a massively diminished chance of her being successful because of the hate and pressure is just ridiculous.
And how poor of you to write her off in her teens and call it a fluke. You don't fluke winning a major tennis tournament. Hell of an achievement and a stupid post. | | | |
