- Say something positive about Emma Raducanu on social media and lots of people will immediately reply with something negative. Why? 'Misogyny', say Catherine and Matt.

They had no problem trashing kornikova
Raducanu is still a developing young player. She has the tools to have good success; she just has to refine those tools & develop a sustained standard of performance. She’ll peak over next couple years if she stays healthy, & we’ll find out what she’s able to accomplish
She won a coint toss. Her tools are not able to recycle, so put them in garbage and move on.
For me the hate around Emma is more to do with the British Media. She was so over hyped that it just created a backlash. No one could possibly live up to the expectations that were set. It’s not just Emma that has faced this but it has become ever more pervasive due to the internet induced financial model that rewards hyperbole and extreme views to generate the most views.
She overhyped herself.
I'm a big Emma Raducanu fan and I find the hate towards her comes from envy. However, if it's misogyny, well it comes from women as well as men, so I'm not sure if it's misogny or more likely just envy at a girl that is doing well for herself. Since winning the US Open, she's been plagued with problems. SImple thinkers seem to think that if she's not winning tournaments she shouldn't be out there endorsing things. They're very simple people. I believe she is working very very hard on her tennis, and has not been able to live up to "some" people's expectations due to the many setbacks she's had (Covid, various injuries, Tonsilitis), but she has demonstrated that she can win matches when feeling fit. Her game is very nice to watch. She still has a lot to learn on tour and that is perfectly normal. Her rise to fame was very unusual and so quick that it is normal that she has struggled somewhat. I believe she is a top 20 player - she has beaten good top 20 players even while struggling in the last year to be fit. She might never win a slam again, or not even an important tournament, but noone will take away from her her New York Fairytale, or the wealth that she will accumulate. I wish her all the best because she is clearly a very nice person. Come on Emma!
100% correct.
Recent online argument with someone saying 'Emma doesn't practice enough', to which someone replied: 'OK then, how much _does_ she practice?' Of course there was no answer; the poster had no idea how much practice Emma does.
Emma just sat around & posted her junks on TkTok
@@sciencekid7565 Hello, troll. Could you find the billygoat on top of your bridge?
@@BenjWarrant Please stay with the relevant and logical topic. Let's talk about how Emma's tennis failure and fluke. Her friends said Emma parties alot. She drinks a whole bottle of cognac like nothing. Billygoat is not relevant to Emma.
@@sciencekid7565 You being a troll *is* the relevant topic.
Good point. If they practised 8am - 8pm they probably would be continually injured. Definitely have time for evening engagements and modelling. We should be supporting out young talents not criticising and hating, especially when we don't know half of what their lives consist of.
I think it's exactly how you guys react to FAA or Shapo. There was a TON of hyper around her and it annoys a lot of people who have negative reactions to her.
I love her and will protect her ❤
Simple as that. Women gotta stand up for women.
A statistic states that most female tennis players peak at the age of 24-26 and takes them 4 years to adapt and gain the stamina for the tennis tour. Emma is 20. And has only been on the tour 2 years. It took Serena and Venus Williams 4 years to adapt to the tour before they started winning anything. Coco Gauff has been on the tour for 4 years ago at the age of 15. it’s only now that’s she started to have any success and break into the top 10 singles. Ofc she is incredibly young and credit to her for breaking in at such a young age it’s incredible to watch her develop but it takes years to win on tour the world No1 only has done it once at Wimbledon. She also managed to get to the Indian wells round of 16 this year and in her breakthrough wild card Wimbledon debut managed to get to the round of 16. It is impossible for that to be a fluke impossible. Now ofc you’ve got your Naomi Ōsaka but she’s peaked or looks like she’s peaked very early into her career. Realistically give her time. Justin Rose arguably the best golfer of all time had a similar story to Emma. He finished fourth in his first professional competition he was an amateur, a wild card and a qualifier. Was offered a professional contract the next day. In his first four years he won nothing making very few cuts.
Now I’m not saying Emma is perfect definitely not she has made mistakes some incredibly foolish ones like getting rid of 8 coaches specifically Andrew her US open coach. And she will make more. She definitely needs to distance herself from her parents. However she’s young and it’s better she make mistakes now early in her career. Where she can learn from them so she can go on to have a long and successful career. ✌🏽
No woman peak earlier than men and you know that
If she were working class you’d be licking your lips saying she’s not suited to tennis.
Class privilege
@@James-th7wb yup. A big issue in the uk.
Perhaps you could ask Anne Keothavong to stop making snide comments when she is commentating. Andreescu v Kenin when Anne was asked about what a player should do if they win a slam as an outsider. More snide comments about endorsement. Also the immature Tweet she made about Emma not remember the BJK event. Who is the adult and team leader? Anne should set an example?
Anne K shows her true color.
Only Women ?. Premier league footballers and Elite level cricketers and rugby players get shredded to pieces . Secondly berretini didn't get global hype like raducanu did
You say that Berrettini didn’t get the hype. She never asked to be hyped. That’s a media problem. Not hers. She has the tools to be an excellent player, but she has to add more to her game, to become more competitive. She will do so. Happy to see that so far, she hasn’t allowed the negative comments to overwhelm her. This is her first real year of trying to play as a healthy player. Give the girl some time to realize her potential.
Where did she say it’s only women?
@@valeriejohnson8771 never asked to by hype lmao . She definitely wants the fame and the money. Otherwise her socials would be private .
She's largely benefitting from the hype and making more money than alcaraz who's way better than her at tennis even relatively . So don't come in here with this bs that she didn't ask to be hyped .
@@jgooner894 😂 listen to her first few sentences. That’s exactly what she said.
@@valeriejohnson8771 Thats not the point. He’s challenging Catherine’s tired trope about sexism 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Catherine is way off here. Everyone receives criticism. She is just defending Emma because she is British. Serena received criticism for years for doing off court stuff and none of you all defended her.
She’s defending a young player she’s a fan of, nothing wrong with that. When was that criticism put towards Serena?
@@jgooner894 Literally Serena's entire career. When she decided to do acting or go to fashion school people got her on case about how she was not giving tennis her full attention.
@@roter13 That maybe the case but I don’t think it was as out there like it was with Emma cause she’s not having the same success right now. Also this is the days of social media so that criticism of Serena would be way less public.
@@roter13 Not when she'd just won her first slam.
I agree, we don't see the Italian press but maybe Berrettini gets criticized there. He's not that big a star in the US/UK and other major tennis countries
Staying the Course: Supporting Sportsmanship! Emma Raducanu has proven herself to be athletic in a good way. She was able to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity when she was young and inexperienced. So the jealous, the exploiters, the unscrupulous comments will always exist. We must make do. She can improve her strategies in particular by going up to the net (do not put the ball in her opponent's racket!). Je suis fan!
Carlitos does TV ads, shoots for Calvins, does red carpet stuff, and on it goes. No one blinks an eye. The double standard is pretty dismaying.
he lives up to the hype. But i do agree that emma doesn't deserve this much hate
@@Peaceful13 why does anyone have to "live up to the hype" that saying really does my head in. Like players have to live up to anyone else's standards, the only standard she has to abide by is her own and she's doing just fine. People need to remember her career is in reverse. You are supposed to build up to winning a GS, not win it as a qualifier and not even play a WTA match at that stage. She's an incredible talent but she won't be able to reach the heights unless she's given time and space.
@@nelly4351 Well said. I can only suspect that the people who criticise here know very little about tennis and don't understand her still relatively inexperienced. The criticism she receives seems totally disproportionate and the people who criticise her (almost always men on social media I notice) perhaps don't realise that they are part of the problem and how incredibly destructive that can be to a young person. I can't imagine what it must be like for her to see and hear criticism from hundreds of uninformed total strangers every day - I'm not sure I would have been able to handle it as well as she has when I was her age! Some people complain that she is 'overrated', but as you so rightly say, why should she have to live up to other people's standards. Let's give her the space and time that she needs to let her find her place in the sport.
@@nelly4351 Exactly. People forget that after winning the US Open, and in spite of all her injuries and problems, she still raised her ranking from 23(?) to 10 at one point. The irony is that if she hadn't done something unheard of by winning the Open, but had just done enough there to get into the top 100 - if she'd met Barty instead of Rogers, maybe - everybody would be thinking that she was now doing really well!
@@sarahcarrette2193 I'm a bloke and can see that there are people trying to destroy her, why can't we celebrate talents in this country? There are certain "journalists" who are always having a pop at her, Yasmin Syed from the Express is one in particular who will mention the fashion mags, she doubts her injuries, criticises her pulling out of BJK but playing following week, citing her sponsors, yet Swiatek has done the exact same. I see players constantly changing coaches but no criticism but for Emma it's different, there's a lot of double standards and its depressing. She is basically a novice at this level yet she's expected to win every week. It took Federer 4 years on tour to break the top 10 at age 20 yet we wouldn't say he's average, same with Serena, Novak, Murray, these are some of the best of all time and it took them time to find their feet, so why can't Raducanu?
Emma is a great person & a wonderful person. Love her aura. She deserves every bit of her success.
& also is a liar
She achieved the goal of a grand slam so who really cares how she does now :)
Everything from now is just icing on the cake.
Emma seems like a top girl with good values. I hope they're solid enough to see her through the nonsense the press throws in her direction.
Emma has no class. She always requested MTO's to throw her opponents off their games. Karma
Who the he'll is she
She is the one who flukes the ‘21 USO & then lies after every loss.
There’s no hate, she brings it all on herself with all the excuses she come out whenever she loses. She has little respect for her opponents
How do you know? Ask the other players. Its you who have the hate quite clearly you nobody.
She mentions things she’s dealing with asked by the press usually, those aren’t excuses.
@@jgooner894 They are excuses, have you ever heard of a dictionary? I suggest you use one you clown 🤡
Yeah, Ms. CELLs (cheats, excuses, lies, loses, & sux)
How she has little respect for her opponents? Why you making something’s not true? Show some respect to your own self.
