She had a good win in 3 sets yesterday against Caroline Garcia at Indian Wells - so hopefully the fighting spirit is back in her game smile

Yes a bit cringe but she is a perfect commercial partner for Porsche for a variety of reasons, not least he mixed background.

Still, I hope she starts winning again.
Is a little bit cringe, but no doubt it's Porsche's own script...!

There is no stopping Emma now, but I want to see her tennis career establish itself through 2022 and beyond....

Good start and I want her to win, but I bet it goes to 3 sets...!

Not the 3 set result I'd hoped for.... frown

I hope she'll play better later in the year, especially in Paris and Wimbledon....

Tuned in quite late to this because I was cleaning the MX-5!
Emma is playing in the Billie Jean King Cup against the Czech Republic in Prague. Harriet Dart playing at the moment, so I think Emma will follow sometime later...
More worrying is, I've just read that she's lost all her toenails (OUCH!) Wrong tennis shoes?! Doesn't look good......!

Crikey...! That was a topsy-turvy game. Great win for Emma, playing her first WTA game on a clay court smile
Czech Republic 1 - 1 Great Britain

Likely to be Harriet & alongside Katie Swan for that one..

The thing is with Emma, was before the US Open win she was an up and coming player, progressing steadily like many a young player - Then all of a sudden US Open Champion and everyone wants a piece of Emma, a marketing dream, young lady, warm and engaging smile with great personality.. Since then she has returned back to that young up and coming tennis player, only playing her first ever WTA tournament on clay this weekend...!
So for me, she's back to pre US Open win - trying to progress, but with the worlds eyes upon her.

In hindsight it may have been better had she not won a major tournament until she'd had a couple more seasons on the circuit, but she is where she is, and no one can take away that US Open tournament win... smile

Good win today in Stuttgart.

The British number one needed just one hour and 10 minutes to beat Australian qualifier Storm Sanders 6-1 6-2..

Showed a few flashes against the current world’s No1.
More than enough game to knock her over when the form is properly back.
I didn't see the game, no Amazon Prime, but kept an eye on the score..
Good to see she has the game in her locker, because she will need it against such an open field of top-level female players on the tour at the moment..

She's playing in the Madrid Open which begins on Thursday.
Hopefully coach No.4 will take her forward in a way she feels she needs to progress...

I can only follow the scoring here, but she seems competive in the 3rd set after taking the 2nd..

Not looking too good atm, seems to have a slight back injury.
Still looks to be fighting though..
