"She WON'T Win WIMBLEDON!" Martina Navratilova on Emma Raducanu
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2022
- Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by nine-time Wimbledon winner Martina Navratilova to talk about tennis, trans athletes and Emma Raducanu's performance.
Piers brings up Tom Daley and Megan Rapinoe taking to social media to express their 'outrage' of trans athletes not being allowed to compete and Martina explains the biological advantage that comes with growing up in a male body, saying "sports biology matters". Piers also brings up the fact that Martina's former tennis coach Renee Richards is trans and Martina says Renee agrees with her stance on the issue.
They then go on to discuss Emma's win at Wimbledon against Alison van Uytvanck and whether she has a chance of winning the whole contest. Martina believes she doesn't, telling Piers her forehand is not strong enough and she is not fit enough. She also thinks letting go of the coach who helped her win the US Open was a mistake.

Do you think Emma Raducanu will win Wimbledon?
No. Attending the Met Ball after US Open was a bad sign, she got stars in her eyes, enjoyed that a little too much. As Martina said, she's out of shape, needs to go to tennis boot camp. Leylah did that, not saying she's now a world beater, but clearly been putting in the time, looks a tiny bit "thicker" (genes are genes so nothing huge) so some sort of strength programming going on there. Emma needs to do the same and disappear for some time and do the work. Usually players do that late in the year and show up at the AO with their new skills and body. No shortcuts, which must be what she thinks switching coaches so often.
No. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone we haven’t heard of wins it. That’s the state of womens tennis
No
@@TheJhtlag 💯💯💯👍🏼
@Mickky Jay Not been following Iga then?
I cannot underline how much I respect Martina for providing honest but at the same time respectful answers. Respectful honesty is such a crucial personality trait, a trait that I fear is becoming less common in recent times.
she and Djokovic have similar background.
Right on, dude. I'm glad they didn't discuss Roe v Wade because Piers has little rapport with people in general and Martina had tons of personal struggles related specifically to her choice of partners, her leaving her folks and native country, etc ad infinitum, but she always believed in herself and her core.
She was equivalent to Mac from the female side as both she and Mac played and won in singles, dubs, and mixed consistently. Martina's too reserved to say it, but she was easily as good at dubs as Serena was , but Pam Shriver was not as good at dubs as Venus and both the Compton kids had great serves MN was Basically the female version of McEnroe, but much less in your face with her opinions than John ("You can't be serious" McEnroe). His younger brother Pat was just as good at dubs (almost anyway) but didn't have 6' 4' Peter Fleming handling the deuce court.
Speaking the truth gets people cancelled in today's PC world I'm afraid
I would respect her more if she called out the US Open/USA for not allowing unvaccinated players. This is a very similar issue, political bs. Vaccines that were designed for a virus hat stopped existing 2 years ago and do not stop transmission. So just as the world number one was not allowed to play at Wimbledon, one of the 3 best players of all time will not be allowed to play at the US Open for some equally bogus reason.
THE uniqueness of Martina is her WILLINGNESS to look at her convictions ..and IF found to need improvements or changes...LIKE IN HER TENNIS...she welcomes the opportunity to make the improvements. in her thinking...and in profession. SHE IS JUST AN AMAZING...WOMAN...AND PERSON!!..as a long time fan..since the 1980.s and delved into her achievements...i think she just GLOWS through the decades...and it is always a BREATH OF FRESH AIR to see and hear again!!
So refreshing to see common sense spoken by a well known figure 👏🏻
That's poor Martina's BBC contract terminated. But big respect to her for speaking the truth. It's a shame there are so many cowards now, who stay silent for their paychecks
The BBC only hire lesbians. She'll be fine.
Martina comes across as a really bright, intelligent and honest person.
that's because she is :)
Raducanu is Britains very own Anna Kornacova.
A lot of people I know weren't big fans of Martina in her playing days but time has proved her to be the most fair the most astute and in my view is the best player I've seen all power to her
Really ?? You joking right...
She's the greatest woman player of all time and her playing style was awesome to watch. What's not to like?
@@guyinsf just saying she wasn't to everyone's taste but she has overcome that to be very much loved now
I agree. Some people won’t agree with you and I believe these are people who were not yet adults during Evert and Navratilova’s prime years. During those times, the majority favored Evert, and treated Navratilova as the archenemy. Of course we know how good a person Martina is and what she fights for.
@@Amtcboy - True. I remember thinking of her as the enemy......it was the "height of the Cold War", (as people call every decade of the Cold War in which they themselves came of age, Lol)....the last name, accent, and "butchy" looks all worked against her, while the other was the Princess Di of tennis....
And she was right, she lost today, Martina is a very smart and knowledgeable woman, I like listening to her views.
“In sports biology matters” so much needed common sense
Tennis Deity Martina Navratilova speaking the truth.
Facts tho
Martina's a real one. An absolute credit to everyone she represents...
Agree with Martina in regards to Trans people competing in sport.
in sports, biology matters!!
mad respect for martina being honest
Well spoken Martina. She's brave to stand up for the truth. It would be easier for her to keep quiet.
Lol Martina standing up for the truth🚮🚮🚮
@@foundgrace82 Martina has always stood up for the truth, even when it was not to her advantage. She’s got courage.
@@foundgrace82 in which way do you disagree with Martina?
@@charliez077 what truth has she stood up???
She keeps it real. I respect her for that.
I am completely agree with Navratilova about what she was thinking about. About Raducanu I had the same point of view: she doesn't have the tennis right now to win Wimbledon, at least that she starts to play like she did in US open last year.
Martina is a strong example that has been through so much crap throughout the years.
Martina's mind is what made her a champion. Few have overcome more. She was demonized for beating America's sweetheart Chrissie and she was demonized for being gay and people don't choose their sexuality.
It was a more ignorant time.
Martina is very smart and a survivor.
PS. allowing Trans woman to compete against biological women is one the stupidest things I have witnessed in my lifetime and takeway is...we still live in an ignorant time.
@@lukewalker1051 Well said
Bravo to Martina for speaking out.
She is right! why didn't she keep the coach that won her the US Open! It is a no brainer!
Is it just me or is that headline "She WON'T Win WIMBLEDON!" a little clickbaity ? Taken out of the context it sounds aggressive and dismissive. In context and listening to everything else MN said it was nothing of the sort . Anyhow only one person actually wins...everyone else "loses" to some extent . Also : the bulk of this clip was to do with women/trans rights....a very interesting discussion.
Clickbaity to the max. But in this rare case glad it was otherwise I wouldn t have clicked on this fascinating discussion .
Martina always talks common sense. Honestly, this interview was great without the misleading headline - WHY do this? The headline is not a true and accurate reflection of Martina's very fair assessment. _"I don't think she'll win Wimbledon this time around but certainly has the potential to win it one day"_ is not "She WON'T win WIMBLEDON!"
And, for the record Martina was in 2 Grand Slam finals before she finally won her first when she was 21. Roger Federer was 22 when he won his first. I'm not saying Emma is/will be as good as them (nor am I saying she won't be) but she's 19. She's going to make mistakes along the way. She completed a "normal" schooling, and has only had one year on the main tour. Very promising.
It’s called click bait. Makes you want to watch the video because of the controversial title. They sensationalize it
Maybe she should have added, "I don't think she will ever win Wimbledon". Which would have been a more
accurate assessment.
It's shameful how we've mostly accepted it's ok to rephrase someone's quote to be more provocative for clicks. First it was low life channels that did it, now it's Piers Morgan.
I'm glad she speaks out.
Martina looks great. I appreciate her comments
Thank you Ms Navratilova for speaking up clearly. I couldn't agree with you more ❤️ Have a separate trans category. Let them play against each other to even the playing field
Trans athletes need to complete with trans athletes.
Trans athletes need to see a psychiatrist.
Why not let trans men/women compete against each other? That would be totally fair.
honestly it would probably be the only nearly-100% fair solution.
of course it really sucks trans guys/women face a very difficult situation when they want to pursue a career of an athlete and there SHOULD be ways to support them in sports as much as possible
however... it would just be 100% unfair for cis-women to have to compete against trans women.
Martina summed it up quite well
In fact, the trans born male would easily dominate the trans born female. (It's proven by athletic comparisons).
As usual, Martina demonstrates that she's got a head full of intelligence and common sense - which we know isn't common at all.
With everyone, except far Left fanatics and their ass kissing acolytes, the issue is about basic fairness.
Simple as that.
With the Left it's about destroy, destroy, destroy.
In this particular case, women's sports.
Martina Navratilova is a bright beacon sanity in an otherwise insane world gone completely mad.
Good on ya, Martina for having the courage to speak the truth.
Of course you will become a target of the Left for speaking the truth, but your many fans are 100% behind you.
Thanks for your honesty.
"With the Left it's about destroy, destroy, destroy."
be fair, it's about that with the left fanatics
not with all the left
however I support 100% trans people and I sadly also have to agree with Martina here
if trans women could compete with cis women it would just be hugely unfair to cis women
@@charliez077
Charlie,
That is exactly what Martina is talking about: the inherent unfairness of men competing against women... no matter what they call themselves.
Pure class Martina
Met Martina years ago and she is as classy as they come.
just a few more days to put up with Wimbledon, then all the bits will be out, I don't know how long raducanu will last because she's not a brit is she?
@@barbaraedwards4802 NOT a Brit - care to elaborate? She's born in Canada of a Romanian father and Chinese mother, but she has been raised in UK and has a UK passport. That makes her British.
@@ddjr6673 Adolf hitler lived in the uk for a short time in his younger days, does that make him British?
@@ddjr6673 you said it yourself ddjr, born in Canada, so iff she's anything it's canadian
@@ddjr6673 it doesn't make her anything of the sort!.
Martina is a absolute legend
Fantastic convo with Martina, I have supported her since the 70's. A legend, thank you Piers
I love Martina! And I respect what she has to say!!!
Martina, Sharon Davies etc. Well done for speaking up and defending women
Martina you are quite correct. She in no way can win Wimbledon. I saw her game. Hardly impressive. As you rightly said she did a big mistake in sacking the coach that brought her the US Open. She thought herself on the moon.
Great interview, Piers!
Martina is soo sensible!
Why the negative headline on Raducanu's chances on winning Wimbledon?
Martina was speaking from a technical aspect regarding Emma's current ability.
Martina was very affirming regarding Emma.
I totally agree. She is 19 and has already achieved a lot, not even one full season on the main tour. She waited to complete her studies. She's going to make mistakes along the way, that's how many of us learn. Martina was 21 when she won her first Grand Slam title. Federer was 22. I'm not saying Emma will (or won't) be like them but she's 19 and already won her first.
Click bait.
agreed, 100% clickbait.
Because it’s Piers, obviously!
Hallelujah. Someone who says what we’re all thinking
Martina is a wonderful person as having had the privilege of having met her personally . She has a balanced insight and common sense approach to many issues
This woman is a national treasure.
My hero. Thanks Martina for all you've done for our community and for sport!
Awesome and honest answer Martina N.
Martina knows her tennis!😁👍
Good for Martina staying with the truth
Just have trans competitions for trans people. Sorted!
This is what I was thinking but Trans people are on a spectrum that's makes Trans only events kinda tricky. You may have women who transition from a young age and another woman who transition in her 20s, so it would be a bit difficult.
But then again fairness comes in to play. Cos a trans women would have an unfair advantage against trans men. Cos one will be a man. And the other a woman. I think I’ve got that right way round. I have no idea how it works
@@zachsingh1 Then have trans competitions for trans men and another for trans women. Sorted!
@@manuelramos8172 Then have trans competitions age related, as they do in football. Example, under 18s, under 23s and the over 23s.
No.
I don't always agree with Martina but she is rational & smart! Diplomatic in fact!
She is sooo right on everything she just said!! Respect!
Love Martina. The voice of reason. She talks sense while others are spewing nonsense. Great interview.
exactly! as Passionate in competing as martina was...she is just as committed in being thoughful in her contributions to social matters. A TRUE great WOMAN!!
This is literally the first time she's ever been logical.
Media won’t pick this interview up right? Wonder why? So strange.
Damn great interview
Unless she has a favourable draw I'll be surprised if she will make week two but like many before the English media are desperate for success.
Totally agree, and why I sometimes pray that there all get knocked out early ,so we can see the other players at Wimbledon , Emma losing today, is a blessing to her, to take that totally crazy pressure on her by the media.
@@redd605 Tbf it’s not even the British media this time it’s the whole world that wants a piece of her. She should of told them to shove all their endorsements and will do all the glitzy ads when she earns it by becoming world number 1 and only then
@@oracle8589 yeah being pretty is not always an advantage,
while the seemingly inconspicuous move on.
the world is full of people that say you can't succeed...
True use it a motivation and win it
And Raducanu lost. The 9 time Wimbledon champion knows what she sees.
She’s twenty mate got many years ahead of her
@@rupinjeremiah9589 today... she'll be back...
@@johnnysmith118 Yes, but she said she won't win THIS year's Wimbledon. And she didn't.
On point Martina x
She is a really good representative of this topic.
Excellent assessment on trans sport!
Love the show Piers ! 😁 ❤ 👍 👍
🙋♀️ from Virginia Beach
@Veronika Lake 😎 👍 👍
Always loved martina,one of my fav players alongside steffi graff
Please Piers Morgan, ask Navratilova her thoughts on mixed doubles tennis events on how that discipline can accommodate trans athletes. That event should have the highest potential to be inclusive and the best chance. Certainly exhibitions are needed to iron out what is fair game.
FIANLLY! Been saying this for nearly a year. Thank you Ms Navratilova for calling Raducanu's mistake. She should never have let go her coach that got her the US open. Granted the in-experience but there was obviously great chemistry there. She should have gave him 6 - 12 months at least to see where they're really at on the WTA Tour. A bad decision IMO.
Arrogance has a price. Emma was nothing but arrogant after winning. If you recall her speech after winning, she was over confident too assuming that she will play finals regularly. And immediately the next week, she fired her coach.
We dont really know what transpired between Emma and the short-term coach but yeah, their time was brief and yet she got those fantastic results! Imagine what they could achieve if they had stayed together for maybe a year…
Martina Navratilova is a wise person, great human.
Absolutely crazy, can't answer a simple question. Madness!
Martina's coach Renee Richardson played women's tennis and was her coach for years.
If Emma is the UK number 1 God help UK tennis. Reminds me of Henman all promises no results
I did not understand one word that the lady at 28 seconds said. What an odd accent.
She said: What has that got to do with the price of bread?
She's no lady.
😅🤣😆
Same here. Very strange accent.
In Emma Raducanu's case, it very much look like biting the hand that feeds. Not necessarily by Emma herself, but someone made the decision to cut ties with the coaching that led her to win the US open, and her record since then has not been so impressive. She may have had injuries but you can only blame that to a certain point, they haven't stopped her from competing after all.
Wonderful perspective on Emma. Emma has to be present in her matches. It could be simply growing pains as she is a teenager and a product of the covid19 era which handicapped players like Emma with less opportunities to play. Things will settle down for her as she matures on her goals, motivations and inspirations. Go Emma!! Navratilova gave Emma a seal of approval on her potential. Sky is the limit or no limit!
Nah, she's overrated.
KO'd again early, outplayed by Caro
@@rioahn2805 Woke Hollywood?! What in the world? What are you saying? What does Woke Hollywood has anything to do with hitting a tennis ball? NOTHING. That's bullcrap. That's very short sighted, narrow minded and discriminatory. What's the matter with you?! You can be a fan of Leylah, but bullcrapping about endorsements is just not cool. Had Emma been without endorsements, then what's the excuse? Nothing! It's match experience and unfortunately with experience that takes time.
Title is so misleading ! And the answer so onest ! No , not this year !
women with women and mens with men trans with trans and problems is sorted. I dont want any deviations between normal people
7:24 The actual content of the title.
Hi there!!
Martina Navratilova what a true legend!!
Emma, reached her form at the US open. I'm afraid she a one hit wonder..a girl with a pretty face!!
Thank you Martina for everything you have done and are doing for the sport. I wish you good health and many years of active life.
Great to see Pete Sampras standing up for woman’s rights!
No not yet, not fit and fast enough but it will come - let’s quieten down the noise around Emma !
Maybe - maybe not, I hope it will come. I think she's certainly got the talent. Don't want people to tear her down.
Just proves (as though it needed to be proven) how absurd and irrational postmodernism is.
Navratilova or Daley , I know who’d I’d back
Martina does a nice job of talking about a charged issue in a reasonable and thoughtful way. Piers and other on-air personalities tend to sensationalize these types of issues in order to satisfy their viewers.
Who was the spade at the start . What boat did she come off ?
spot on Martina, emma is strugglling really thats the reality! she needs to find a good coach
She will never win a spoon not to speak of trophies anymore 😀
Fluke won’t repeat
Yes Martina!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Instead of competing down, they should compete up! I would like to see them compete in the Men's matches.
Real talk by Martina. I agree 101%
I like Martina also have huge respect for her. At last someone who is well known and respected who actually had a great talent speaking out against this Crap around so called “ Trans Women” . I don’t think Emma will win Wimbledon this time around but who knows. I feel for Emma this always happens the Media builds young up and coming people up then when the slightest thing goes wrong tears them down it’s not on. I wish Martina & Emma well.
I would like to see katie boulter make the 2nd week if her arm holds up. She did well at eastbourne. Be nice to see her on centre court. As emma radacunu has plenty of years to be shown on centre court. I think katie boulter is mid 30's. But she is playing some good stuff. Anyway just my opinion.
Katie Boulter is only 25.... but yes, she plays some good stuff
Exactly! Why let go of the coach that helped to win a slam?!
Iga is unbelievable
Iga should not be wasting her time participating in an exhibition tournament. She should have pulled out like all the others and prepared for hard court season.
They really need to stop giving Emma false hope that girl is not as good as what they are making of her. She had a good run at the US open she’s done
7:22 About Emma Raducanu
She is amazing women. God bless her
Gotta love and respect Martina.
Totally agree with you Martin ❤👏👏🇬🇧
This whole topic has become so bizarre that it's a great relief to hear that Martina is speaking the obvious truth!
what she say, cant understand the words from beginning lady in green.....
LUV YA MARTINA !!
Couldn’t agree more. No matter what you change into, if you started off male you will always have the stronger advantage.
But some players do leave coaches after great win.
Good on martina I agree with her level headed comments.
So Martina is fine with athletes who "transition" before puberty? WTF? Allowing a child to "transition" is child abuse! These people are nuts!
She might mean by puberty blockers
@@vanessaford8630 giving a child puberty blockers is child abuse.
What about getting Martina to coach Emma Radacanu?
Always had great respect for Martina.
Love Martina. Such a great champion.
The thing with Tom Daley. It doesn't effect him. His lack of empathy for women divers, or any female athlete, who could be shoved out by a man. Is staggeringly unacceptable.
Sharron Davies, = the voice of reason!
Great interview by the true female GOAT.
