Right, new year, new Raducanu thread for the believers and non believers out there.

She kicks off the season in Sydney later today against Elena Rybakina looking for a win and some nice form going into the Aussie Open. It’s a fairly comfortable Rybakina win for me.

Straight sets if I was pushed. Although always difficult to predict after the Xmas break.

What am I twisting? You just have no idea what you are talking about and think you are correcting someone when you aren’t.

I am talking about main tour events, not challengers or ITF’s. I said “outside the US Open first and second round exits is pretty much what we saw from her” - that is simply a fact.

The 4th Round in Wimbledon accounted for the “pretty much”, I have spoken about that Wimbledon run in detail previously. The Challenger event was not counted - and won’t be counted… as it’s a Challenger event.

The top seed in the challenger event you are trying to claim was world number 30 (Danielle Collins), the second was world number 50 (Petra Martic). These are not mandatory events, if you are unsure what that means, it means the top players don’t have to play them…

Tennis is my profession as many people on here can attest, I would suggest you take your medicine on the subject as you will never “win” if you wish to debate it with me, I assure you. You will just be making yourself look silly (again).

False facts?

You mean facts you didn’t understand, tried to correct due to your lack of understanding of the sport, then realised you were wrong and still sticking with it regardless?

I have spoken previously about the difference between ITF, Challenger and Main Tour. Those of us in tennis discount ITF and Challenger when discussing records on the main tour, they are often split and not merged.

A bit like counting LDV Vans Trophy wins when discussing Premier League record.

When Raducanu’s US Open win is reported on, they state “her first tour title”… why? When she has already won X2 ITF titles?…. Because they aren’t counted on the main tour.

Andy Murray is known to have won 46 singles titles… Why? When I know for a fact he’s won 53 if you count the x5 ITF futures titles and x2 Challenger titles?…. Because they aren’t counted on the main tour.

You sound ridiculous but just don’t realise it. All because of your haste to correct what was a correct sentence.

If you don’t understand that, that’s not my problem. I have tried very nicely to explain it to you several times, but judging from your posting history - understanding doesn’t seem to be your goal, you just want to troll.

Yes, she played very well again and beat Sloan Stephens another US Open champion.
If she can just maintain that level she could progress well in the Oz open.


Well I went to the outside courts to watch them train as they had scheduled an hour session each.

Emma turned up with a full team and used the whole hour.

Sloane turned up with one coach and stayed for 20 mins.

That’s the level of difference between the mentality I was talking about in my Raducanu Aussie Open post halfway down the last page, in my opinion it showed on court and the reason I said she was slight favourite for it.

Fans Network Swansea’s very own roving reporter:-





She should beat Danka Kovinic comfortably in the next round (shouldn’t drop a set). Then it will without doubt be a 3rd round exit for her.

Always willing to stick my neck on the line, you know me.

She ‘should’ win the next round and without doubt goes out in the 3rd should she get there.

I watched Kovinic v Jang just before the Raducanu game. I have seen her previously but went to check there has been no improvements… and there hasn’t been. Just a short stocky ball striker, no real power though, not a great serve, not particularly athletic - just a solid journey-woman pro.

If Emma starts introducing the angles to move here from side to side then she wins that comfortably.

The Sloane match was always going to be one that could go either way. Now that’s won then the 3rd round it should be.

Not to shabby today, we await the experts opinion


Nobody said she would never win another game again mind Raynor.

What was said is she would never win another Grand Slam title. She will have a fine career and park herself in the top 25 for a while.

It was the laughable comparisons to Serena that caused the interest on here and the simple stance that she will not even come close to dominating the game as suggested.

She’s a decent player, but she’s not an elite player. Elite as in top 5 consistently.

She will win far more games than she loses though, like everyone else in the top 25. There will be a few forays into the second week of a slam but I’ll be shocked if she ever makes another GS Semi let alone win another Final.

I was absolutely correct in my list as I’m sure you have since gathered, you wanted to count a Challenger event. You can if you like, nobody that understands tennis will though.

The other poster said “she reached round 4 in Wimbledon”, I know she did, spoken about it at length previously on here… hence the “pretty much”.

You can kick and stamp your feet as much as you like but I’m afraid you won’t be getting anywhere.

It’s just a fact, as that’s clearly what you are out to do, even now you realise you are wrong and being dressed down by an industry expert (which makes it even more funny).

I’m just trying to save you some typing time and the lovely forum people some reading time.

I don’t need to talk my way out of anything, I’m explaining to you the difference between Challenger, ITF and main tour to stop you making the same mistake and looking silly again.

I’d love to see your email history, I wonder if you have sent Match of the Day any furious emails because they correctly say Man Utd have won the league 20 times and you say “Excuse me Linekar, United won their U19 league more than that your (sic) clueless”.

Well that’s that for Emma from Australia.

Another tournament not passing the 2nd round, losing to Kovinic.

Kovinic is 98th in the world, 27 years old and never been past the 2nd round of a Slam. Emma slightly hampered by a niggling injury but if she has any serious ambitions about being an elite player (which she should be as US Open champion) - then the likes of Kovinic need to be despatched with ease.

Wrong? Where?

Don’t you mean spot on?



Do you not think she should beat world number 98 then? “Should” win doesn’t mean “will” win... as convenient as I’m sure that would be for your trolling, hence why I used the word should.

Man City “should” beat Watford, if they don’t, that statement is still true.

The actual prediction I made however, is that she “wouldn’t” (key word) get past round three “should” (key word) she get there, I am very careful with my words and use them for good reason - I quoted it for you and pasted it above for ease of reference.

I was correct wasn't I… as much as I know that bugs you, she didn’t go past round 3.

I’m afraid you need to learn to read and don’t get upset by others that know more than you. There is a few of those about… mentioning no names.

I did say that she should win comfortably, I stand by that and am correct regardless of outcome.

I didn’t say she would win. “Should” doesn’t mean “would”.

A reigning Grand Slam Champion should be beating someone barely in the top 100 who has never been past the 2nd round in a Slam at the age of 27 and known for being an average tour player. Do you disagree then?

Swansea should stay up this year with the squad they have, if they don’t… they still should have. That statement would not become wrong.

If I get something wrong then I will say so, but I’m not going to say I am just to please trolls like you when I obviously was not.

The only way I could be “wrong” with what I said is if she went past the 3rd round as I said that “wouldn’t” happen. There is a reason I use “would and wouldn’t” and at other times use “should”.

One is a prediction (won’t go past round 3 if she gets there) - the other is a fact (should beat world number 98).

Easy when you understand English isn’t it?

So I’m guessing by now you have realised what words actually mean and that you can’t just make them up to have your own meanings? Good.

Can you teach the rest of your trolls now please?

- “Should win” is a fact based on ability - “Man Utd first team “should” beat Barnet reserves”. (That statement will remain correct regardless of result).

- “Will win” is a prediction of the future - “Man Utd first team “will” beat Barnet Reserves”. (That is a statement you can get excited about if it fails to happen).

Now relate that to what I correctly said - as I was very careful to use both “should” and “wouldn’t” in two different sentences and used them for that exact reason. “ ‘Should’ beat Kovinic”… “ ‘Wouldn’t’ get past round 3 ‘should’ she get there”.

As I said, I’m intentionally very careful with my words as I have trolls hanging off every single one of them. So you won’t be able to change the meanings of those intentionally constructed words to suit I’m afraid.

Cheers.

I said if she looks sharp and is in shape then she is the better player (she is) but hasn’t played since Indian Wells so will depend on that.

She didn’t look sharp, she looked horrendous hence why I said “Raducanu slight favourite”…. I was right.

Learn to read like your other trolls are getting a lesson in currently.

I said Raducanu “should” beat Kovinic, I am right of course. She should beat her, she is a very average player who has no realistic hopes of reaching the second week of any Slam in her career ever - hence why you didn’t disagree.

I said she wouldn’t get past round 3 “should” she get there.

I was right again, you will just have to deal with it Tramps.
