Thanks, Zoejoryl We don't have Prime. sad

I hope the UK press leave her alone as they heaped the pressure on her at Wimbledon. She played a brilliant quarter final match today and I’m sure she has a great future. As other posters have said I hope her coach and parents will be able to protect her from the media.

I think it's on Prime. I shall be watching!

She's a lovely girl, so refreshing and a smile that brightens the day!

What TV channel will the semi finals be on, does anyone know, please? It's tomorrow, isn't it?

Grannybags Wed 08-Sept-21 18:54:17

Well that was exciting - through to the semi final!

TillyTrotter Wed 08-Sept-21 18:49:29

Feel ridiculously proud of her and how she coped with that quarter-final.
Wishing her all the best for the semi final.

She is a treat to watch isn't she. What a competitor!

Through to the last four ? amazing !

Looking good in her game today ?

She’s wonderful and seems such a pleasant girl.

I’m sadly waiting for the press to obliterate her and cause vast problems for her. They started at Wimbledon heaping so much pressure on her, they had her winning Wimbledon after she got through the first round! No wonder she slightly crumbled.
I hope her parents and coach can keep her safe from the intense pressure. I do wish they weren’t made to give so many press conferences. I’m sure many of us don’t actually need to hear her thoughts on everything, it’s just the sponsors pressing for their pound of flesh. I wish her a long and happy career.

Yes and while we wait for next year’s Wimbledon we can enjoy seeing how far she can get in the next few days!

Grandmadinosaur Tue 07-Sept-21 15:25:43

Me too Jennifereccles I was only thinking last night I wonder (fingers crossed) when or if she will win Wimbledon. That would be a great day.

Apart of course from her obvious talent, what is particularly great about Emma is the fact that she’s only eighteen, so has hopefully many more years ahead of her to improve still further.
I love her enthusiasm.

We have waited a long time for someone of the calibre of Virginia Wade, haven’t we?
There have been a few hopefuls over the years but somehow they have disappointed where it matters.

I have high hopes for this girl!

Grandmadinosaur Mon 06-Sept-21 22:38:25

Yes I’m glad to see she’s bounced back. Fingers crossed for her next game. ?

NotTooOld Mon 06-Sept-21 22:36:54

Seems like a really nice person, too. Sad to see her drop out of her match at Wimbledon earlier this year but great to see her back on form.

Gwyneth Mon 06-Sept-21 22:31:33

Amazing young lady what an achievement to reach the quarter finals.

Grannybags Mon 06-Sept-21 21:38:37

Amazing isn't she!

Grandmadinosaur Mon 06-Sept-21 21:36:43

Has anyone just watched her tonight at the US Open? What an amazing talent and through to the last eight.
